Designer candles contribute to a good cause

SINGER Elton John is known for a string of hit songs spanning decades, including the moving tribute tune "Candle in the Wind."

On Aug. 24 through the website at www.holtrenfrew.com, and on Sept. 8 in Holt Renfrew stores across Canada, fans can purchase scented candles created exclusively for Holts by Sir Elton John, David Furnish and NEST.

The three-wick candles are available in two scents (Jardin de Fleurs, a floral blend, and L'Orangerie, a citrus-based fragrance), and are packaged in white or orange glass vessels. A portion of proceeds from sales of the $50 candles will support the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Holt Renfrew's goal is to raise $100,000 for the work of the foundation.

Since its inception in 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has raised more than $275 million.
