Islands of Tahiti - Candle Making Workshop - Press Event

Islands of Tahiti - Candle Making Workshop - Press Event

The beautiful Petersham Nurseries in Covent Garden was the perfect setting for the Islands of Tahiti press breakfast by Black Diamond PR.

Petersham Nurseries

The central area of the store was transformed into a workshop for our candle making class.

We created a custom 'Islands of Tahiti' candle inspired by Tahitian Monoï oil. 

Monoï oil is an infused perfume-oil made from soaking the petals of Tahitian gardenias (best known as Tiaré flowers) in coconut oil. Monoï (pronounced Mah-noy) is a Tahitian word meaning “scented oil”.

We also used coconut and soy wax blended wax to create this a candle (coconut can be found in Tahiti). The final candle had the floral note of gardenia and a refreshing top note of lemon.
