Love photos? So do we. For each scent in our Irish Collection, you will receive a free frameable postcard of the place or story that inspired the scent. We are keen photographers and take each photo ourselves and only do limited runs of each.

Each scent is developed from scratch in-house by Michael. Having studied natural perfumery he uses this background when creating a scent to help bring it to life. Our scents cannot be found anywhere else guaranteed.

We make scents inspired by the landscape around us, from the Mountain to the Ocean. Each Landscape opens up different layers of meaning when you understand its Irish name. The language gives story to the place and we then create a scent from both.

Each parcel we post out uses only recycled cardboard and paper along with biodegradable bio pellets that dissolve in water and are made from maize starch. All our postcards are printed using soy inks onto premium quality recycled card and are carbon neutral.

A percentage of each sale goes towards the Home Tree Charity. Their aim is to establish and conserve permanent native woodland in Ireland through restoration, afforestation and education. To date they have planted 150,000 native trees and they are only getting started.

We are multi award winning independent candle makers based at the foot of the Mourne Mountains. Being one of the very few candle makers in Ireland that create and blend our very own bespoke scents.

Scent Blenders • Wax Pourers • Story Tellers

We were the first candle makers in Ireland to develop the turf scent for a candle. However many times its copied no-one has come close to catching it just right. The technique we use to capture the scent is a lengthy one and a closely guarded secret.

We are multi award winning candle makers, who are proudly independent. Leading the way with our scent innovation techniques. We make each candle by hand in small batches and label, design and pour each candle ourselves.

Our Philosophy

“We make scents using the very finest ingredients available and only produce in small batches. Our inspiration takes many forms; from the Irish landscape all around us, trips in our camper van to our favourite pub. We tell our stories through scent. 

Each product is made entirely by hand by our small team. We work from a gorgeous studio in Castlewellan, just at the foothills of the Mourne Mountains. We are very proud to say that we develop each scent in-house and never use mass produced scents & never will.
