Il profumo dell'oceano sulle Slieve League

Il profumo dell'oceano sulle Slieve League, il profumo delle alghe sulla spiaggia di Maghery, Dungloe. The scent of Donegal is in my heart.

Very Happy Customer

I am delighted with my Ancient Isle candle! I purchased the Ancient Woodlands scent and I have to say this is now my new favourite candle. As a lover of nature, this candle is spot on with what the smell of a forest should be and completely teleports you to that place.
The shipping was very quick, lovely packaging and the personalised note from Bobby was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to try the rest of the collection!
