When daylight fades but the conversation doesn't, a scented candle keeps the table feeling warm and inviting.

Moss St Ceramics for Australian-made candles and diffusers in vessels worth keeping afterwards. Peppermint Grove for the big, generous fragrances that fill a room. Apsley and Ryan & Co for something quieter. Paddywax for the design-led ones.

Candles, diffusers and room sprays.

Merchants stocks the full range in store.
