February in the Partridge house: amidst the latest cold weather and the scent of summer to come

It is now February 24, and here in the waxworks the air is charged with a special energy. Outside the days are visibly lengthening, the late afternoon light is beginning to change, and as we enjoy the last moments of that cozy warmth that only winter can provide, our senses are already projected elsewhere.

For us at Pernici, this is a time of balance: it is the time when we honor the traditions that have been with us since 1892, but with an eye toward what is about to blossom.

The ritual of “End of Winter”: fragrances for these days

In these last remnants of February, the home needs an olfactory signature that is reassuring but not heavy. This is the ideal time to light our most “textural” candles:

• The elegance of wood: Our Amber & Wood or sophisticated Tobacco & Leather are perfect for these evenings. They create a deep texture that warms the room while the temperature outside still drops after dark.
• Purity of awakening: If you feel the need for a breath of fresh air, the Elements collection with Talc & White Flowers offers that “new beginning” feeling. It is the fragrance of a clean slate, ideal for tidying up your ideas and your home for spring.
• A message of light: With the Words & Lights line, like our “Remember to turn me on, “ we bring a touch of lightheartedness and citrus (thanks to notes of Neroli) that anticipates the vibrancy of the warmer months.

Spoiler: The New Summer 2026 Collection is almost ready!

But the real news we want to share with you today is what is happening in our laboratories. Right now we are refining the details of the new Summer 2026 collection, which we will officially launch in March.

Without revealing too much, we can tell you that this year’s Pernici Summer will be an unprecedented sensory journey. We have worked on notes that recall the most intense and forbidding fruit, the citrusy and pungent energy of Mediterranean gardens, the ancestral calm of roots, and the sunny elegance of white flowers at sunset. It will be a collection designed to bring the sunlight and energy of the sea directly into your spaces.

It’s very close: March is just around the corner, and with it will come a new way of experiencing summer at home.

Our tips for enjoying these last days of February

While waiting for the news, here’s how to elevate your daily ritual with your favorite Partridges:

1. Try pairing a warm note like Vanilla in the living room with a cooler, more mountainous one like Pine & Mountain Air in the entryway. It’s the perfect contrast for this time of year.
2. Don’t forget that each Pernici container is a design piece. Once the candle is finished, clean it carefully-it will be the perfect vase for the first wildflowers you pick in a few weeks.
3. For consistently perfect, smokeless burning, remember to adjust the wick to about 1 cm before each lighting. Pernici quality deserves a small gesture of love.

February is about to greet us, bringing with it the allure of winter hibernation. We are ready to open the windows wide and flood your homes with the new light of March.

And you, are you ready to find out what we have prepared for your summer?
