Sir Elton John, founder of the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF), has teamed with Nest Fragrances to create a new scented candle to benefit the life-saving work of the Foundation. This is the second candle partnership between the rocker-activist and the home fragrance company.
Similar to the Sir Elton John's Holiday candle released last fall, the source of inspiration for the striking design on the Sir Elton John's Woodside Garden candle packaging and glass is based on an etching of a coat of arms crest belonging to a noble family that lived in Luxembourg during the 1800s.The candle features a sophisticated and unique arrangement of notes inspired by Elton's favorite flowers from his floral gardens at Woodside in Old Windsor, England, including hyacinth, freesia, rose, and jasmine.
"The projects we do with Laura Slatkin and Nest Fragrances are very special to me because they bring together two different aspects of my life – my love of scented candles as a key ingredient in home decor and my deep personal commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic," said Sir John."I am particularly excited about the debut of the Woodside Garden candle because I feel that its delicate floral scents and vibrant colors symbolize hope, inspiration and renewal, qualities we can all appreciate and that are much-needed in the lives of people affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I just know that Woodside Garden will be a big hit this spring!"
Available in an 8.1 oz. candle for $38, the candlecan be purchased at shop.nestfragrances.com, Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and specialty stores nationwide.
