Elton John was in his musical prime in 1975, playing two iconic concerts at Dodger Stadium. That same year, he purchased Woodside, a historic home in the English countryside. Fast forward to the present day, and the rock legend has just debuted a gorgeous new line of fragrant candles and reed diffusers inspired by five decades' worth of magical holidays enjoyed in his whimsical, well-appointed home.
The Elton John by Slatkin + Co. Woodside Collection is available exclusively at QVC "just in time for the festive season," John announced — and, as an early Black Friday treat, it's all on sale right now, too.
"Candles have become a key ingredient in my home decor, especially during the holiday season, and I am deeply honored to be releasing my own collection," John said of the chic accessories made in collaboration with his dear friend, Harry Slatkin, who was once proclaimed the "king" of luxury home fragrances.
As such, the Woodside collection offers a rare glimpse into the John's private life through his favorite festive scents, like cinnamon bark, pomegranate, dark forest berries and more nostalgic smells that conjure up Christmas memories for the star.
"Each item in my collection narrates a story that deeply connects with my personal holiday experiences," John noted. "They bring back cherished moments filled with cozy fragrances and twinkling lights. I hope my line of Slatkin + Co candles will create that same feeling of excitement and gratitude and infuse warmth into countless other homes, much like it has with my own.”
QVC's early Black Friday deals mean more than 20% off the brand-new Woodside collection, which includes glorious five- and six-wick candles in ceramic vessels and chic glass bottle oil diffusers in piano key-embossed gift boxes that pay homage to the Rocketman himself. Here's a rundown of the collection — more products will be launched on November 23.
Even if you never have the chance to step into Elton John's Estate Library (anything is possible!), you can at least fill your own living space with the aromas of freshly steeped English tea and bay leaves that fill his cozy reading room.
This gift includes an 8-ounce candle, 4-ounce reed diffuser and eight reed sticks in the fragrance of your choice — Cinnamon Cashmere, Ruby Red Currant, Estate Libarary or Woodside Winter White. These four signature scents deck the halls (in some cases, literally) of John's lavish home.
This gorgeously glimmering accessory is a 50-ounce, six-wick masterpiece of holiday home design. The textured ceramic pot comes in six metallic colors — including red, gold and silver — and its matching lid is emblazoned with John's signature star logo.
This show-stopping candle gives off the woodsy scents of fresh orange pomander, fir balsam, amber and cinnamon bark, and it burns for up to 100 hours.
Leave it to one of the biggest celebrities of our lifetime to design one of the grandest candles we've ever seen. This 80-ounce candle with five wicks and a burn time of up to 109 hours comes in a glass vessel in your choice of four colors, depending on the fragrance.
Your options are English Oak and Amber (which includes the essence of spices from Woodside's gardens) Midnight Woods, Tangerine and First Snow, a mint and eucalyptus scent to wake up the senses. And it comes in a box decorated with a watercolor scene from John's estate. Perfectly giftable.
If reed diffusers are your thing, invite this set of two in your choice of eight fragrances into your home — or gift it to someone who'd love the deliciousness of scents like Ginger Spice Pudding, Mulled Pomegranate Wine and Woodsmoke Vanilla.
They're inspired by the fruits and herbs of Woodside's garden and recipes whipped up in John's spacious kitchen during the holiday season.
John even threw an Advent calendar into the Woodside mix, and it contains a dozen mini candles in all of the collection's luxe fragrances, including Rhubarb and Strawberry Crumble, Champagne Quince Jelly, and Tangerine Palazzo.
Each day, unveil a colored glass, fragrant masterpiece that evokes memories of Christmases past at the Woodside estate — and now at your holiday home, too.
