British home fragrance brand Elm. Rd launched The Studio Collection to share scents from different destinations around the world and with them, inspire positive emotional states. All of the candles are 100% natural and vegan, made with plant-based waxes and paraben-free botanical fragrances, with formulas that are hand-poured into elegant glass tumblers.
While the Amira Studio Votive Candle captures the essence of the Middle East with notes of mandarin, oud and geranium, the Chalet Studio Votive Candle offers a very different fragrance experience that reminds of the peacefulness of the mountainous Alps. The Studio Collection also includes the Versailles-inspired Petals, Secret, which was inspired by New York’s Manhattan district, and Sueños, which means "sleep" in Spanish and includes soothing notes of chamomile and lavender.
