Rathbornes Rosemary, Fougere & Camphor Candle, €54, see arnotts.ie; rathbornes1488.com

This large-size, long-burning candle is from Rathbornes’ luxury range, which features some bold and punchy fragrance-combining. This particular combination has a strong suggestion of summer in the south of France, or suchlike, with the scent of herbs in the night air. So maybe you can’t be there this year, but you can have something of it at home. “The rosemary in this is soft rather than sharp,” said a panellist, “and the effect is both cosy and a reminder of warm evenings outside.”
