'Ankara' candle Asmara scent, mustard

Lisa Corti candles infuse rooms with bold and tactile accords that capture the distinctive essence of the brand. Encased in porcelain, the candle is named after the coveted 'Ankara' textile, and takes fragrance inspiration from Corti’s own memories of Eritrea. Evocative of her childhood home, it fills spaces with the clean and enveloping Asmara scent for up to 40 hours. Citrus, cypress and rose are layered on a heart of saffron, amber and ripe mango, underpinned with leather, patchouli, vanilla, and oud. Once the 235g candle has burnt down, the mustard yellow lidded jar — featuring bright florals, a weave effect, and gilt detailing — becomes a decorative vessel for precious keepsakes.
