Shakespearean Scents capture hearts with New Warwickshire Home Fragrance Company

Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, UK – A new company, Shakespeare Candle Company, has brought the rich scents of Shakespeare's time to Warwickshire homes. Founded by Caroline Jordan in 2022, the company has been crafting hand-poured candles and wax melts inspired by the bard's world since its public launch mid-2023.

Caroline has carefully selected fragrances that evoke the essence of his plays and the era in which he lived. The collection includes:

  • Orchard, infused with the aromas of ripe red apple and sweet mulberry, harkening back to the orchard at Anne Hathaway's cottage and the mulberry tree at New Place, Shakespeare's former home.
  • Midsummer, bathed in the scents of calming lavender, invigorating geranium, and uplifting neroli, captures the essence of the "love potion" potion in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
  • Tempest, with its invigorating blend of sea salt, invigorating bergamot, and delicate water lily, transports the senses to the crashing waves of the ocean and the sun-drenched island where Shakespeare's "The Tempest" is set.

"I wanted to create a brand that would bring Shakespeare's timeless works to life through the senses," Caroline said. "My candles and wax melts are not just about filling a room with fragrance; they're about connecting people to homes, favourite places, special people or providing a sensory experience that transports you to a different time and place."

The company has had a successful inaugural year, attending numerous markets in Stratford-upon-Avon, including the Christmas Lights and Victorian Christmas market. Their products have been met with rave reviews from customers who appreciate their high quality, unique fragrances, and commitment to sustainability.

Shakespeare Candle Company is a welcome addition to the Stratford-upon-Avon community, offering a unique and evocative way to experience the bard's legacy. With their handcrafted candles and wax melts, Caroline and her team are breathing new life into Shakespeare's world, one scent at a time.
