Burberry, Burberry Fragranced Candle Smokey Embers, candle, fragranced candle, gift idea, home scent, review, smokey embers, woody notes
Today, as you can see, I decided to take a break from reviewing all those magnificent dark, bold, sultry lipsticks… And since Miss Winter is just around the corner, I thought what better time than now to talk about one of my favourite home scents. It comes in the form of a fragranced candle, it’s from Burberry and it’s called Smokey Embers.
*Yes! Besides those iconic trenches, shawls, makeup and perfume, Burberry does home scents as well! And you have no idea what you’ve missed on!*
My absolute favourite candle to burn around the holidays has been for the past couple of years was Bibliothèque from Byredo, which I can’t wait to burn this year as well. It smells like smoke and old books and old, used leather… Delicious!
I discovered Smoked Embers last year while I was writing my “Last minute gift guide for Christmas”. Of course I was blindly ordering it from their website as I usually do! But I wasn’t disappointed this time either…
It’s perfect candle to recreate “the mood of an English fireside afternoon”, filled with relaxation and quality time spent with the family. The warm cozy notes of patchouli, birch tar and guiac wood compliment each other in the most harmonious way and they’ll fill your whole house with the most peaceful atmosphere.
This is a single wicked candle, with a white beeswax base, presented in a transparent glass holder “with honey-coloured twill paper inspired by the unique gabardine texture of the Burberry Heritage Trench. The candle’s label references the inner label of the iconic coat.”
To prolong it’s freshness you can top it with this gold metal lid it comes with. It contains 200g of product which is set to burn for 40-50 hours. Since I had several other options, I still have a generous amout to burn this year as well.
The presentation is amazing, as Burberry had us used with! So this would make an excellent, luxurious gift.
This particular scent is not available on their website at the moment, but I’m sure they will restock it soon. But if you’re on a hunt for a woody, cosy, warm scented candle there is another option – the Fire Embers Fragranced Candle.
I’m still waiting for another candle in the mail, from a brand I’ve always wanted to try, NEOM. Fingers crossed it will be as awesome as all m candle picks this far!
What’s your favourite candle to burn in the Winter time? Please let me know in the comments below! I’m taking notes, as always!
See you soon, Beautiful!

The packaging of those candle looks stunning and what a capture as their photo shots are picture perfect. By the way, the elaborated flavours of the scent seems to be pretty pleasing too. As I am staying in England, my first brand choice would definetely goes to Jo Malone and as you said, Neom is another great brand to try with as well. I hope you are going to have an aromatic essence that fills your house everyday.

Not even one, I would go for three favourites that are vanilla and anise, honey and nectarine blossom and lastly, bay and blackberry. Moreover, I would say that if you have three of these at your home, then you could think that your purchase of winter candles is over.

I’ve heard such amazing things about Nest perfumes! They’re made by one of my favourite “noses” out there, Jerome Epinette! I love his work so I do trust when you say your candle is simply gorgeous!
I had one last year that smelled like pine and burning woods! It was from Diptyque and it was called Sapin if I’m not mistaking! Beautiful candle indeed and if I find it I will definitely buy it this year as well! 😉
I also recommend it! 😌👌🏼xx
