ALL

This unique candle was created to capture the essence of dining at one of Australia’s most celebrated restaurants, Quay. Representing the pinnacle of dining, Quay’s unparalleled harbourside location is paired with rare and beautiful ingredients skilfully executed with texture, flavour and harmony.

This candle was handmade at our atelier in Sydney’s northern beaches in collaboration with Quay’s Executive Chef, Peter Gilmore. 

With an opening overture of refreshing citrus from bergamot, yuzu and lemon, followed by crisp juniper, subtle coriander leaf and a hint of spice from cumin, this lively palate cleanser is layered and energising. The trio of heart notes emerge, led by the complex floral beauty of native boronia, rich neroli, and herbaceous clary sage before revealing a perfectly balanced base of deep earthy terroir from patchouli, soft wood and spice from guaiacwood, warmth and leather from labdanum before lush oceanic moss to close.

Fragrance is one of the most defining style signatures.

“This unique scented candle contains the passion and identity of my interiors, curated in the same way with an elegant layering of architectural precision and luxurious decorative embellishment. Celebrating a twenty-one-year milestone, designed as the signature scent for my studio, it is an unmistakable sensory experience of my world.” David Hicks.

The heart of this fragrance is a robust leather accord, playfully contrasting against vibrant, decorative accents of grapefruit, elemi, and cardamom which provide a crisp, luxurious edge. Elegant, architectural notes are found in the sumptuous warmth of cedarwood, juniper, and vetiver, whilst amber and clove combine richness and texture.
