"Our favourite in the Glass office has to be Cedar and Vietnamese Oud, a candle with an impressive 50-hour burn-time, perfect for long work-days. Inspired by the incense found in temples found in rural areas of Vietnam, the scent is dark and smoky, with top notes of the Orient’s characteristic woody oud fragrance. Fragrant but not overpowering, the candle also incorporates lotus flower, amber, and sandalwood into its dark and distinctive scent. A collection with a fragrance to suit every taste, other scents include White Jasmine and Gardenia, Tuberose and Wild Fig, Vietnamese Rose and Delentii, Agarwood and Amber, Frangipani and Neroli, and Vanilla and Tabac Noir."
