Description Starting out from the kitchen table to now supplying many of the world's most prestigious stores and boutiques, Ormonde Jayne has created bespoke scented candles for some of the grandest names in the luxury sector. Using rare oils not widely used in the perfume industry, their candles are tested for months to ensure a perfect burn and for the scent to lift out and sing.

Montabaco is a meant to capture the essence of Latin America: leather, suede, wood, and tobacco leaf repeated over and over again. It sits above the rich floral presence of magnolia, jasmine, and rose. It is unashamedly seductive yet profoundly simpatico.
