INTERIORS ARCHITECTURAL FRAGRANCES FOR THE 21st CENTURY FROM A Life With A View A Life with a View is a luxury range of home fragrances created by Tunbridge Wells resident Graham Way. With a background in interior design and fine Graham Way fragrance, Graham created A Life with a View in a bid to bring quality perfume into the home. The collection offers scented candles, room diffusers and travel candles, all inspired by sought after locations from around the globe. With scents inspired by views of New York, Provence, Italy and England, the concept of A Life with a View is simple: “All perfumery refers back to memory, and home fragrance is no different. We have created a line to tie in a ‘sense of place’ for the customer – something that has never before been explored within home fragrance,” says Graham, who has worked with renowned fragrance brands, Penhaligons, Floris and The Crown Perfumery Co. “A Life with a View attempts to stir the thought processes and approach the idea of perfuming a space in such a way that ideas are evoked, not that there is simply a scent in the room.” Working from its main office in Tunbridge Wells, A Life with a View ensures that all products in the range are ethically packaged in England and that the brand has sourced superior materials to create quality products; the full sized candles burn for up to 40 hours, whilst the diffusers scent the room for up to six months. In addition to this, all of the packaging is recyclable and does not 124 require import thus has a minimal carbon footprint, a major consideration in the 21st century. www.alifewithaview.com WIN!
