LOEWE Perfumes introduces ‘Banoffee’, a $290 scented candle combining banana, caramel and warm notes in an exclusive design
LOEWE Perfumes once again proves that luxury can also be experienced through the senses. The Spanish house expands its Home Scents collection with the launch of ‘Banoffee’, a new scented candle inspired by one of Britain’s most beloved desserts. The creation transforms the sweet, comforting aromas of traditional baking into a sophisticated olfactory experience.
The inspiration comes from the famous banoffee pie, a dessert combining bananas, toffee and whipped cream on a biscuit or pastry base. The pudding was created in the early 1970s at The Hungry Monk, a restaurant in East Sussex, England, where its creators reinterpreted an American toffee pie recipe by adding bananas.
Decades later, that sweet creation has become the starting point for a fragrance that brings LOEWE‘s distinctive identity into the world of home scents.
The new ‘Banoffee’ candle stands out for its aromatic composition, which combines the tropical softness of ripe banana with the richness of caramelised sugar. Its fragrance revolves around a banana and amber accord, designed to evolve as the wax burns.
When unlit, the candle releases a delicate scent reminiscent of ripe fruit. Once lit, however, the fragrance develops a richer, warmer character, with nuances evoking flambéed bananas and freshly prepared caramel.
Yet the appeal of this launch extends beyond its fragrance. As with other creations from LOEWE Home Scents, the vessel becomes a decorative object in its own right.
Made with natural wax, the candle is presented in a new midi size, housed in the brand’s signature terracotta vessel. Its design draws inspiration from an ancient terracotta cup dating back to the late fifth century BC, a historical reference that connects traditional craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.
For this edition, the vessel features a glossy, ribbed finish, decorated with a gradient of caramel tones that visually reflects the fragrance’s culinary inspiration. The base is engraved with LOEWE’s recognisable Anagram logo.
