The Jo Malone White Lilac & Rhubarb (£42.00) Candle is a must. Not only does it smell divine (think tart and juicy rhubarb notes sparking through beautiful white lilac and rose) and sit very prettily on any surface you choose to pop it on, but the proceeds from it go towards caring for and cultivating charity gardens across the UK.
Jo Malone are well known for supporting and collaborating with dedicated charities that use gardens to improve the lives of those living in deprived situations. For those with mental ill health, who are victims of poverty or currently coping with disability, gardens provide a sort of therapy, something to nurture and somewhere to find space and calm.
There are projects and charities up and down the country working to bring the benefits of gardens to those who need it, and with every White Lilac & Rhubarb Charity Candle bought, a donation equal to the retail price (less VAT) goes directly to several registered charities. So if you get seriously addicted to this scent and just keep buying (we highly recommend it!), you can be sure that people are going to benefit.
Keep a look out for the Jo Malone White Lilac & Rhubarb Candle (£42.00), available from May at JoMalone.co.uk.
