Our mission?

To enable Escape Through Scent no matter what mood, or room you are in.

That is what 'Scentscapology' means - 'escape through scent'.

It is our word.

 

Where did it all start?

Lockdown one, whilst juggling homeschooling, house renovations and a freelance producer career.

 

Amongst this chaos, it was the denial of a really simple joy that got me plotting - 

I was not able to just  ‘pop out’ on pay day and buy an affordable treat for the house or a friend’s birthday,

such as a scented candle.

 

Something clicked.

I decided I would learn to make scented candles that would

inspire moods and punctuate a day at home (because that is where we all were ALL the time).

Importantly though, pretty, clean, professional looking candles that were as eco-friendly as I could make them.

 

Garden vibes.

Being locked-down gave me a greater sense of appreciation for the garden. I had begun to understand seasonality, smells, growing produce and finally, how to actually garden (I’m still learning!) In fact, I took my initial inspiration from the garden.

 

I walked around, cataloguing what we had, how it smelt and then I set to work to find suppliers who made

paraben free, cruelty free and vegan friendly fragrance oils I could work with. 

​

My first five fragrances were designed entirely from walking around the garden and feeling confident that the oils

I had sourced lived up to the ‘real deal’ outside.

 

Small and meaningful.

All Scentscapology products are currently made by me, in between family life and life as a mature student at the

University of Cambridge.

​

Some people love to cycle, run or bake cakes but for me, candle making is my wonderfully mindful happy place.

​

All candles are cured under our 350 year old thatch and hopefully imbued with at least some of its prevailing spirit.

I make our products in small batches, on a regular basis and some to order. 

 

Thanks for checking out Scentscapology and supporting a small business.
