Tonka bean brings a warm, sweet, slightly almond and vanilla note. Clove gives it a deeper, spiced backbone.

The feel is closer to a hotel spa at dusk or a dining room in autumn than to anything bright or citrus. It is our most enduring scent, the one people run out of and come back for.

A frosted glass bottle with simple white reeds, deliberately minimal so the scent leads. The pale white on frosted glass sits as comfortably on a pale bedside table or bathroom shelf as on a wood console.

Comes gift-boxed and ready to wrap, a reliable gift for housewarmings, hostesses and thank-yous.

Use more reeds for a stronger throw and fewer for a softer one. Flip the reeds once a week to refresh the scent.

Keep away from direct sunlight, radiators and draughts, which speed up evaporation and dull the top notes. Life varies with the number of reeds, room size and temperature.

Best in bedrooms, living rooms, snugs, dining rooms and hallways. In a kitchen, a lighter citrus scent usually works better. Pair with a tray on a console, or browse more home decor.
