The candle and the packaging work well together, imho--if you do decide to go for it, do let me know what you think! :-) And yes, the dark rich soil does sound alluring...I would love to have seen all those plants growing and being distilled for their oils in the 1700s!

Makes me want to go out and garden, too. I envy them for their ldark and rich soil. Your article was lovely, both a feast for the senses (smell and vision, you made it come alive). And your color comparison to Hermes created a lemming, lol. Robins egg blue with tan trim, I want some. Thank you, Pia, what fascinating background information.

I'm not entirely sure either, but my quick scan gave the impression that physic gardeners cultivated plants primarily for medicinal uses, including peppermint, wormwood, chamomile. rose, rosemary and not least lavender. According to an old historical source, the area of Mitcham (where Potter and Moore comes from) was reknowned for its rich black mouldy soil that made it ideal for physic gardeners to cultivate their plants. Apparently Potter and Moore were well known for their lavender water, and the Mitcham coat of arms incorporated lavender sprigs into the design! I haven't tried their Eaux de Toilette, or any of their other fragrances, but in this kind of fragrance, I'm guessing their soaps are probably lovely as well. And anything to get more of that gorgeous blue box color! :-) Hi Sabina!

I'm enchanted with older fragrances in particular, so this one piques my interest. That sounds like really lovely packaging too.
