Quiet Blue

Made By Someone Who Read The Label First.

Jackie spent years teaching Pilates, which is a career built entirely on paying attention to how people feel in a room. When she eventually turned that attention to the candles on her own shelves and found the ingredient lists rather less appealing than the packaging, she did something about it: she brought in a clinical aromatherapist and a candle perfumer, and built a small, deliberately narrow range rather than a catalogue.

Everything is natural soy wax blended with pure essential oils, vegan, small batch, and made in the UK, with plastic-free packaging throughout. The destination scents, Corfu among them with its lime and basil, are built around places rather than trends, and come as candles, reed diffusers, room sprays, essential oil blends and artisan soaps. The range now turns up in luxury hospitality as well as in people's houses, which is a fair indication of the standard.

For more for a quiet evening, have a browse of our candles and home fragrance and home and decor collections, or carry on to bathroom, bedroom and gift sets and hampers. There are more businesses like this one in women-led brands and small batch artisans, and more close to home in British makers.
