The season of candles is upon us and while they jolly up the atmosphere (and hide a multitude), they can be really irritating when they don’t burn properly, especially the larger ones with more than one wick.
So we are happy to report that we tested the large, three-wick candle, scented with cloves and cinnamon, from Max Benjamin, aka the Van den Bergh family in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow. Success! They come handsomely packaged inside a jar with a silver lid, and last and last. Top gift. Max Benjamin candles are stocked nationwide, with all 15 scents in the range available from Brown Thomas, House of Fraser and Kilkenny shops among others. Prices range between €18 and €35.
