					<description><![CDATA[Everything you need to know, explained simply. There&#8217;s something instinctive about wanting to know what fills the air in your home. A candle feels small, gentle even.

					<description><![CDATA[In a world that moves quickly, lighting a candle is a small act of slowing down. A small act with generous rewards. Lighting a candle has become a ritual for many people.

While these can be broken down further into subcategories, we prefer to keep things simple. Understanding these four families offers an intuitive way to explore scent and to recognise what you’re naturally drawn to. These are [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The quiet layers behind every scent. There is something deeply personal about fragrance. It lingers in the air long after a moment has passed.
