Two Stunning Spring Scents from Nevé Candles
Nevé Candles are crafted from 100% natural soy wax and enriched with phthalate-free fragrances and feature FSC-certified wood wicks, known for their enchanting flickering flames, gentle crackling sounds, and enduring burn times, add an extra layer of appeal.
This season, Nevé has proudly unveiled two brand-new spring scents, each designed to evoke moments of freedom and relaxation over the warmer months to come
Seaside in Sorrento: Nevé’s founder, Tessa, drew inspiration for this scent from a recent trip to Sorrento where she visited an idyllic organic limoncello farm overlooking the majestic Mount Vesuvius. Tessa wanted to encapsulate the sheer delight of that springtime moment when the air was awash with the tantalising blend of salt spray and citrus and created Seaside in Sorrento on her return to New Zealand.
Chamomile Calm: This gorgeous scent extends a serene invitation to unwind and relax. The delicate fusion of sage and sandalwood harmonises with soothing lavender and bright, sweet orange notes. Tessa’s vision for this fragrance was to create an oasis of mindfulness within the home.
“This fragrance is meant to be the perfect companion for grounding your senses and soothing your mind. It strikes a balance that is both relaxing and uplifting,” shares Tessa.
Ellie – “focus gifted me the Chamomile Calm candle which has now become my go-to fragrance for creating a serene atmosphere wherever I am. Its blend of sage and sandalwood instantly takes me to a peaceful oasis, whether I’m at home or on the road. Absolutely love it!”
Both of these captivating scents are available in various formats, including large candles, medium candles, travel tins, refills, room sprays, and car diffusers and can be found online and at numerous retailers around New Zealand.

Elevate Your Skincare Routine with Dermalogica’s Liquid Peelfoliant
Experience the transformative power of an in-home peel with Dermalogica’s latest innovation, Liquid Peelfoliant. This serum-like wonder is designed to deliver the results of a professional treatment in the comfort of your own home. Its gentle formulation makes it suitable for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. In fact, it’s so gentle that it’s intended for daily use (though starting with two to three days per week is recommended by the brand).
Claire: “After my nightly cleansing routine, I applied just 2 drops to cover my entire face and jawline. It spreads smoothly and doesn’t cause any tingling or burning sensations. After a few minutes, rinse it off. Since it’s an exfoliating product, remember to use a high SPF sunscreen during the day and protect your face from direct sunlight.”
The formula harnesses the exfoliating prowess of AHAs and BHAs to unclog pores, while Phytic and Tranexamic acids work harmoniously to brighten and even out your complexion. With the addition of PHA and fermented Pomegranate, your skin gets a gentle yet effective exfoliation without stripping it. The nourishing lipid blend, featuring upcycled Cranberry, leaves your skin looking absolutely radiant. Just three minutes a day is all it takes to reveal the benefits: enhanced skin tone, minimised pores, and improved hydration that smooths the appearance of fine lines. It’s clinically proven to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in as little as three weeks.
Now available from authorised Dermalogica Skin Centres, department stores, Life Pharmacies and online.
