D.R. Harris Panettone Candle, 30ml (£21), 50 ml (£42), 100ml (£55)
‘Tis the season for giving, receiving, and giving back. London’s oldest pharmacy, D.R. Harris brings us a new, exclusive fragrance, St James’s 1684, to celebrate St James’s Piccadilly’s participation at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Fifty per cent of sales from the fragrance will support The Wren Project, St James’s £20 million restoration of its courtyard, garden, and Grade I-listed church building.
St James’s 1684 is somewhat of an ode to St James church itself. The unisex fragrance uses natural essential oils, including roses, primroses and pears, which reflect the botanicals in Grinling Gibbon’s carved reredos behind the altar. This sensuous creation, developed with expert perfumiers, includes top notes of William’s pear and pink pepper, middle notes of freesia, rose, jasmine petals and primrose and a base of patchouli, musk and sandalwood.
St James’s 1684 will be available in 30ml (£21), 50 ml (£42), 100ml (£55) exclusively from D.R. Harris & Co at 29 St James’s Street, London, SW1A 1HD and 52 Piccadilly, or at drharris.co.uk
