POTTED HISTORY

Since its humble beginning in a garage 17 years ago, Tāmaki Makaurau/ Auckland biz Ashley & Co has grown to produce 50-plus scented products and seen Tui & Kahili become its most popular fragrance. Its next milestone is its first design collab — with potter Rachel Carter, who’s created four limited-edition, handthrown vessels for candles steeped in that best-loved blend of lily, mimosa, sandalwood, ginger and ylang-ylang. In two hard-wearing, food-safe glazes, they’re designed for reuse once the wax burns down — as tumblers, utensil holders or planters, perhaps. shop.ashleyandco.co
