Arbory Home Fragrance

Arbory Home Fragrance means a great deal to me even though it is only very young. It all started when I decided to make a Gin & Tonic candle for a fund raiser - I failed miserably! I dabbled in making candles many years ago but had forgotten the complexities involved. I will never ever look at a humble candle in quite the same way!!

Having failed with the G&T candle I was however hooked. I had experienced the loss of someone very special and this chandlering lark was to become my therapy though I was unaware of this at the outset. Desperately striving for the “perfect” candle - though knowing very well, “perfection does not exist”. I pursued my end goal.......and this is still work in progress and probably will remain so for a very long time but fragrance can be part of so many products and is a very important part of our lives. When we smell a familiar fragrance it can trigger memories more vividly than any other sense - sometimes they just leap out at us quite unexpectedly. And memories are so very precious.......

I have created a collection of beautiful products that I am very proud of not only because they smell divine but also because I was able to do this after losing my zest for life completely. The whole concept and project was not planned in any way but instead came to me out of the blue and has evolved along with my enthusiasm. It has proved to be both healing and therapeutic.

The name Arbory Home Fragrance is an enormous tribute to the very special person in my life whom is no longer with us. The name Arbory was very significant to him and I hope he would be proud of what I have done so far and hopefully of what will follow......I wonder just what the future holds..............
