Paul Smith 
Early Bird Candle

Inspiration: The unique façade at No. 9 Albemarle Street, Paul Smith’s flagship shop in Mayfair, London. The natural patination of the cast iron, weathered by the English rain, but still beautiful. Ultimately, it is a tribute to English rain, but stands as a thoroughly modern scent with spicy, leathery notes.

Hand-poured and blended with premium ingredients, this candle is formulated to ensure exceptional scent diffusion. The scent recalls the reclaimed iron railings at Paul Smith’s London shop on a rainy morning.

Smells like: rain falling on wet pavements on a cloudy London morning.

Notes: Indonesian patchouli oil, iris and rain accord.

- Made from 100% soy wax and hand-poured into a reusable glass.

- The scented candles of Paul Smith’s home collection are designed to recall some of Paul’s dearest memories, from cycling through sunny fields on his summer holidays to setting up shop in his first three-by-three-metre store in Nottingham in 1970.

- Formulated with raw natural ingredients, sourced from around the globe from some of the world’s finest suppliers, including LMR Natural. These are layered, complex, and enticing scents created when Paul enlisted the help of some exceptionally talented perfumers.

- The two-tone glass vessel that holds the candle comes with a lid, which doubles as a coaster to protect surfaces when the candle is in use. With sustainability front of mind, it is designed to be reused once empty, as a vase, a toothbrush holder, a plant pot or for holding bits and bobs.

- The colors of the vessel –deep blue with a green lid – are subtly reminiscent of the signature Paul Smith stripe design and are a tribute to his tailoring expertise.

- Burning time: approx. 60 hours (240 g). 

- Free from paraffin and petrochemical ingredients.

- Only burn this candle on a level, heat resistant surface.

- Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

- Keep wick trimmed to 5mm.

- Stop using when 10mm of wax remains or wick disk becomes visible.

- Allow wax to harden before moving.

- Take care when extinguishing the flame.

- Keep candles 10cm apart and allow headroom for flame.

Tip: When burning the candle for the first time, let it burn until the wax on the surface is completely liquid. This prevents the candle from burning in a funnel shape.
