AA Directions is giving away ten Downlights Luxe candles in French Pear fragrance, valued at $59.95.
There are two tell tale signs that you’re in the right place when reaching Downlights candle HQ. The first is the sublime scents. The second is the raucous laughter from the team who make the magic happen.
While all employees of the luxury soy candle company and award-winning social enterprise are New Zealanders with Down syndrome or learning disabilities, Downlights founder and managing director Jennifer Del Bel has developed the skills and confidence of her crew to a point where their work is comparable to non-disabled artisans, challenging any perceptions that the disabled workforce is only suitable for low-paid, unskilled work.
The Downlights range of candles – comprising 19 fragrances developed by a fifth-generation French perfumer from the internationally famous Grasse perfumeries in Cote D’ Azure – has among the most luxurious products on the market.
Alongside the luxurious fragrant candles there are also a range of flameless diffusers and aroma stones, gift sets and seasonal Christmas edits sold online and in well-known stockists including Smith & Caughey’s department store in Auckland. An exclusive range has also been developed in collaboration with Briscoes and the latest product launch includes Downlights candle supplies for DIY candle making at home.
The Prize: one of 10 Downlights Luxe candles in French Pear fragrance valued at $59.95.
This competition is now closed. Congratulations to the lucky winners: A. Treasure, S. McLeavey, C. Walter, J. Spring, R. Ututaonga, C. Fell, M. Kerr, A. Boott, J. Bertie and B. Carey.
