Jo Malone London Elderflower and Gooseberry Charity Candle

€56, Brown Thomas

This new fragrance combination candle from Jo Malone London is the fifth in the charity line-up the brand has created to support mental health charities here and in the UK. Pieta is the Irish partner, and 75 per cent of the candle price (less VAT) goes to the charity for its work with individuals and families affected by mental health problems. The scent of this candle is a gorgeous blend of floral notes with a tart hint of green gooseberry.

When the candle is burning the pretty illustration lights up and when it has burned to the end, the jar is gorgeous for storing pens, make-up brushes or trinkets. It can be a keepsake that raises awareness and much-needed funds.
