There are scented candles, and then there are La Montaña candles. The difference? Authenticity.

Founded by a London couple who traded corporate life for a remote Valencian mountain village in 2011, La Montaña captures genuine Spanish culinary culture in wax form.

Each fragrance tells a real story, from actual places and authentic moments, lovingly recreated using premium natural ingredients and hand-poured by artisan candlemakers in the UK.

We’ve teamed up with La Montaña to offer one lucky reader the ultimate foodie fragrance collection, featuring their two most evocative scents: Mistela and Alfredo’s Café. Together, they’re worth £252.

Mistela celebrates the Valencian tradition of raisin liqueur served at family celebrations, when lingering after Sunday paella becomes an art form. This festive blend of raisins, exotic spices, orange peel and coffee beans creates a warm, distinctive fragrance that’s both comforting and more-ish.

Your prize includes a regular Mistela candle (£45) and a room mist (£37).

Alfredo’s Café captures the soul of a real Spanish village bar where locals gather for dominoes and conversation. After 42 attempts to perfect the scent, the result is extraordinary: coffee mingles with black tobacco, brandy intertwines with leather and church incense. So evocative is this fragrance that customers regularly request it as personal cologne.

Your prize also includes a luxurious three-wick Alfredo’s Café candle (£115), plus a reed diffuser and refill (£55).

Each candle burns for more than 40 hours and features 11-12% fragrance oil, exceeding the luxury market standard. The signature 1930s travel poster aesthetic makes every piece as stunning to display as it is divine to experience.

Now in the hands of next-generation family owners Georgie and Dan, La Montaña continues its legacy of transforming homes into Spanish sanctuaries.
