The Herberowe Candle Company

Our apothecary botanically-inspired candles and diffusers are handcrafted in small batches in our wax kitchen and workshop in Lower Heyford, in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside.

 We use 100% vegan wax, a blend of rapeseed and coconut wax from sustainable sources. Our fragrance oils are blends of fine perfume grade fragrance and essential oils and include elements of flowers, leaves, bark, roots, seeds, herbs and spices. Our diffusers are made with a 100% vegan base liquid.

 Our business journey began out of necessity and obsession! A desire to fill our home with quality fragrances inspired by nature that didn’t aggravate Colin’s asthma, became a fulfilling lockdown activity that soon developed into a rewarding side hustle and is now a fully fledged kitchen table start-up business.

 We spent 2020 developing our ideas and learning our craft to make sure our candles are the best they can be and were thrilled to reach the finals of the 2021 Blenheim Palace Start Up Competition. Since then, our business has grown beyond all expectations, and our brand has been truly embraced by some of Oxfordshire’s favourite and most prestigious retail venues and events, as well as by a growing band of very loyal customers who have supported our business on its journey.

 We have worked with the charity The Brothers Trust this year  –  a project founded by actor Tom Holland and his family to support smaller charities. We are delighted to be making hundreds of hand-poured tealights that are being sold as part of a handmade tealight holder to raise much-needed funds for charities supporting young people.

Our name Herberowe is named after an ancient landscape feature nestled in the countryside near our home in the Cherwell Valley. 

We discovered the name on an old map and decided to adopt it and save it from being lost.

 It is the perfect name for our range of home fragrance products which are inspired by the powerful, natural effects of herbs, plants, leaves and flowers. Our vision for the future is to create our own limited edition ranges of signature fragrances that mark the changing of the seasons.

We have pledged to donate our products to supported accommodation projects that provide homes and help people manage challenging life experiences.
