The smell of home
A Real Turf Fire
A smell loved across Ireland. It speaks of home, safety and sanctuary. A candle to light when you want to feel like you are home, even if you are far away.

The Shire
Imagine walking across grassy fields of the Shire on a late summer evening. As the stars begin to twinkle in the sky and the trails of smoke from hidden chimneys start to wind up to the heavens in the still air. Fill your senses with the green grass smells with a hint of woodsmoke…
Stardust
In a small unassuming town, once every few years our World lines up with that of Faery… The land where all our forgotten stories end up. Can you smell the East wind coming from that strange land? With it comes visions and desires to see strange lands and leave the familiar life we know…
