The Clocks Have Gone Back

On Sunday 25 October the clocks went back, and British Summer Time quietly packed its bags for another year. That extra hour in bed was lovely. The 4.30pm sunsets that followed, less so.

If you have found yourself reaching for the lamp switch before you have finished your afternoon cup of tea, you are not alone. So we decided to do something to help: 35% off everything, until 23:59 on Sunday 22 November.

Why we are doing this now

The weeks after the clocks change are when home matters most. We spend more evenings in, the curtains close earlier and the light outside turns blue long before dinner. It is exactly when a candle earns its place on the side table.

Our sale started on 25 October, the day the clocks went back, and runs for four weeks. Every candle, every diffuser and every Eau de Parfum is included.

No code, no fuss

There is nothing to remember and nothing to type in. The 35% discount is applied automatically at checkout, on everything in your basket.

Our only sale before Christmas

We want to be completely clear about this one: this is our only sale before Christmas.

We will not be running Black Friday or Cyber Monday offers. As we head into our busiest time of year, we would rather give you one honest, generous offer in plenty of time than a rush of last-minute deals. When the sale ends on 22 November, prices return to normal for the rest of the festive season.

So if there is a candle you have had your eye on, or a few people you already know you are buying for, now is the time.

Ten London scents for longer evenings

Every Connie Gray scent is named after a corner of London. A few ideas for the darker months ahead:

• For curling up after work: Belgravia, black rose and frankincense, our best seller. Rich, warm and made for drawn curtains.
• For a brighter mood: Kensington, lemon and cedarwood, our other best seller. Fresh citrus that lifts a grey afternoon.
• For fireside evenings without the fire: Knightsbridge, oud and woodsmoke. Deep, smoky and cosy.
• For the study or reading chair: Westminster, Tuscan leather and thyme.
• For remembering summer: Kew, summer lawn and tuberose, or Mayfair, honeysuckle and jasmine.
• For a calm kitchen or bathroom: St. Katharine, green tea and ginger, Richmond, basil and Italian cypress, Whitechapel, narcissus and waterlily, or Bloomsbury, moringa leaf and nettle tea.

Get ahead on Christmas gifts

Every Connie Gray candle arrives in its own signature box, which makes it an easy gift to tick off early. With 35% off, our Belgravia Deluxe Candle is £117 instead of £180 until 22 November.

Our reed diffusers make a thoughtful present for anyone who loves a scented home without the flame, and our Eau de Parfum lets them wear their favourite scent too.
