Shameless Indulgence

ADD the finishing touch to your Christmas table with this luxurious festive candle from perfume house Acqua di Parma.

Handmade in Italy, the limited-edition Silver Gems Candle (£91, acquadiparma.com) comes in the same yellow packaging as the brand’s cult fragrance Colonia, now a byword for Italian chic.

Each of the candle’s pretty silver berries has been painstakingly hand-painted to help make this the perfect centrepiece.

Crucially, it smells wonderful, too — with a scent of forest wood and pine needles mixed with spices and cherry-wood.

With a burn time of 60 hours, it is guaranteed to see you right through Christmas week and fill your home with festive cheer.
