Everybody loves a delicious scented candle.

And if you’re on the hunt for the most luxurious scents to gift to your nearest and dearest this Christmas, there’s one Cork company that should be on the top of your list for a visit.

Local fragrance brand Sómas has opened a Christmas Pop-Up Shop in town, so you can check out all their glorious products for yourself before you buy.

Open now (and daily until December 23rd, 2021) at 39 Oliver Plunkett street (on the first floor of the Nyrah store), the pop-up is set up as a fragrance bar where you can explore each collection in the range, including the new Body collection, which includes a Black Fig & Vetiver Salt Vitamin-E Scrub and a Black Fig & Vetiver Sweet Almond Body Oil with vegetable squalane and jojoba seed oil.

Sómas handwashes come in three heavenly blends; Black Fig & Vetiver, Honey & Smoked Beech and Velvet Peony and Oud, all with matching hand creams, and make a truly thoughtful gift (or self-gift) when a pick-me-up is in order.

The brand’s distinctive packaging makes the Sómas experience extra special and the glass pots and bottles look stylish on the bathroom shelf too.

And there’s more – YayCork readers enjoy 20% off in-store if you quote YAYCORK at the checkout.
