Luxury home fragrance brand La Montaña is delighted to present its most coveted fragrances for the season. The perfect gift for the foodie friend who has everything, Mistela and Alfredo’s Café candles transform any home into a culinary journey, capturing authentic moments that linger long after the last bite.
Mistela is a sweet, plummy scent that celebrates the Valencian tradition of dessert wine served at family celebrations, when lounging after a good meal becomes an art form. This festive blend of raisins and exotic spices recreates those precious moments with a curl of orange peel, or even a coffee bean. The fragrance feels both distinctive and familiar, and utterly more-ish.
Meanwhile, Alfredo’s Café tells the story of a real Spanish village bar, where locals gather for dominoes and conversation. This complex aroma took exceptional craftsmanship to perfect, requiring over forty iterations before achieving its final, captivating scent. Coffee mingles with black tobacco, whilst brandy intertwines with leather and church incense to create something extraordinary.
“These aren’t simply scented candles, they’re edible memories,” explains Georgie Hall of La Montaña. “Mistela captures that perfect pause after Sunday lunch, while Alfredo’s Café embodies the heart of community life.”
Each candle burns for 40 hours, using 11-12% fragrance oil, including natural essential oils. The signature 1930s travel poster aesthetic makes them as beautiful to display as they are divine to experience, making them perfect for the friend who appreciates both form and function.
For the wine lover, Mistela offers sophisticated warmth without overwhelming sweetness. The raisin liqueur base develops beautifully, revealing layers of cinnamon and star anise that would complement any dinner party. Coffee enthusiasts will find Alfredo’s Café irresistible, with its rich, atmospheric blend that transforms morning routines into Mediterranean rituals.
