The Borgo Air Candle

Seed to Skin grows the raw material for its skincare on the certified organic estate of Borgo Santo Pietro, near Siena, where more than 50 herbs are cultivated alongside fields of lavender and marigold. Borgo Air is a summer's day in those gardens, poured into a candle.

Handcrafted in small batches from rare botanicals and plant-derived waxes. The scent opens on fresh green notes before lavender, rose and jasmine drift over cypress and sun-warmed meadow, the gardens of the estate in late afternoon.

This limited edition of 300 is made as Borgo Santo Pietro approaches its 25th anniversary and is sold online only, in a reusable, recyclable jar. At €118, £104 or $138, it brings a Tuscan July into a December room.
