Introducing L'ascari hand crafted candles


Every time you buy a 1CANDLE.1CAN. marked candle, L’ASCARI will buy a can of food to help feed pensioners, students, low-income earners, people with mental illnesses and the homeless. Simple.
Lighting up your life with one or more of the L’ASCARI luxury candle range also adds a little light to the life of someone less fortunate.
(Currently available on the large candle range).
Handmade in Australia.
L’ASCARI is Australia’s premiere luxury candle brand.
L’ASCARI (lah-skah-ree) -An ancient word dating back to the Eleventh Century symbolising courage, honour, and nobility.
Its aim is to create products with a mix of a fresh look and an old past steeped in tradition- to create an item which will not get lost among the thousands of designer products already on the market.
L’ASCARI founder Luca Chiaravalle’s inspiration comes from architecture, vintage items, creative people, quirky objects and the every day.

L’ASCARI candles are made using traditional artisan methods by hand pouring the wax and hand blending the perfumes.
The consistency of the fragrance and soy wax used in L’ASCARI candles allows for a stronger and purer scent throw. This creates exceptional candles with the desired scent for any environment with a safe and clean burn.
All wicks used in L’ASCARI candles are twisted cotton, made from all natural fibers and contain no lead or other harmful metals. Only environmentally friendly earth grown soybeans are used in every candle.

The soy wax used in L’ASCARI candles is:
-biodegradable and free from toxic materials, pesticides and herbicides.
-contains no genetically modified materials and not tested on animals.
-manufactured using pure soy beans and contains no petroleum (paraffin waxes).
L’ASCARI candles are non toxic and non carcinogenic. No fillers have been used in any part of the candle to save on cost.



MANCANDLE is for every man. MANCANDLES allow any man to be able to enhance his space be it at work or at home by being able to customize the scent of his environment with one or a combination of 6 sophisticated fragrances. Putting the finishing touch to a room is no longer left to just the female. MANCANDLE fragrances smell amazing with a 27-30 hour burn time and truly exceptional scent throw. Beautifully presented in a glass amber jar (height 6.5cm) with screw top lid and packaged in a rigid sliding box. All L’ASCARI candles use pure soy wax and 


L'ASCARI Bath Salts are the perfect aromatic soak and are a wonderful means of relaxation whilst conditioning and purifying the skin. They are ideal for body soak, feet, bath and spa treatments. Made in Australia using organic ingredients and essential oils. Paraben free. Preservative free. Sulphate free. Petroleum free. Not tested on animals. Nil fragrance or color additives.






1CANDLE.1CAN. Each candle is 220g (7.76oz) with a 50 hour burn time. Recognized internationally as some of the world’s best packaging the inspiration for creating this artisan range comes from the photograph depicted on the glass of the candle. It is the home of our ancestors located in Fontecchio, a tiny village in central Italy where all things were made by hand. The range emphasizes a fresh look with an old past.


MEDITERRANEAN FIG
tuscan figs and the freshness of fig leaves create an earthy base with sweet top notes.


FRANGIPANI
gentle frangipani blended with a hint of rose.


GARDENIA
the softness of tropical gardenia creates the natural aroma found in the sweet and green flower.


VANILLA 
traditional soft vanilla with a subtle touch of cream.


The L'ASCARI MMX range is named to commemorate the year L’ASCARI was founded in 2010 (MMX in Roman numerals). The finest carefully selected botanical oils and fragrance oils are combined to create this beautiful selection of fruit and floral aromas. Packaged in a craft paper sliding box with the signature L’ASCARI wrap around text. Each candle has a forty hour burn time and as with all L’ASCARI candles uses twisted cotton wicks and environmentally friendly earth grown soybeans. 150g (5.29oz)

Tom dixon Scent candle gift set

A collection of three scented candles created to capture the essence of the travelling, trading and nostalgic past with the vibrant future of British life.

Royalty 
is a reminiscence of tea time with a pot of Earl Grey, scones, strawberry jam and the drive home in a '52 Bentley with tatty leather seats. 

London is encased in a nickel vessel London calls to the smell of red brick, London parks with crocuses and nettles and the salty smell of the Thames at Dagenham. 

Orientalist captures the faint memory of an Indian wedding with rose petal garlands, giant cinnamon stick on beach stalls and the musky smells of the Chinese herbal market. Oriental is encased in a brass vessel.


Chop Long

A long chopping board milled from solid oak with a soft curved edge detail. The long shape makes this board ideal for bread or as a decorative charcuterie board.

Chop Long feathures a convenient hole for hanging or holding and a brass logo detail. 


Tom Dixon Stone Pestle & Mortar

'Hours of grinding in our own London restaurant resulted in this weighty block of white Morwad marble and brass to smash, pummel and grind spices and herbs. An exaggerated rounded lip allows you a firm grip as you work.Turned white Morwad marble mortar. Brass Etched logo on the base. Brass pestle, weighted with an inner cast iron core, polished and left unlacquered'
