Fred's Garden Soy Wax Scented Candle
Scent Brief:
This one is for my grandads. Three of them in fact. Dennis, Victor and Fred.
They loved their gardens. I remember them in the 80’s / 90’s being bright, brash and smelling amazing. All different, all special.
I’m no good on scents of flowers and understanding each one. I just remember the combination of the whole garden with the grass, the earth and the colours. It was how rainbows should smell.
Wild hanging baskets, tomatoes and grapes in the green house. An absolute assault on the senses.
This needs to smell real. Synthetic flower smells can be awful.
Fred was my great-grandad, he was quite a character. Full of love and a fire in his belly (scroll to see a picture of the man himself). This one smells like his garden that he loved, and where he also decided to take his last few steps.
By buying this candle we will be donating 10% of the selling price to CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably. In the last 20 years I've lost 5 friends to suicide and this is a way of providing support to those that need it.
All of my grandfathers were cool AF. Dennis (he was a train driver), Victor (a butcher), John (a sailor), Fred (a very cheeky chap). The thing they had in common was a love of their gardens. Full of colour, random things everywhere growing, strong smells of tomato, beautiful flowers and all the good stuff that you find in a British garden.
About CALM
I've lost 5 friends to suicide. All male. All under 40. It's too much and I wanted to try and do something that might just make a difference.
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide. Every week 125 people in the UK take their own lives. And 75% of all UK suicides are male.
CALM exists to change this.
For every candle sold we'll donate at least £3 to CALM.

Fun Fred Fact
Fred once dressed up as Santa for a kids charity thing and a group of teenagers thought it would be funny to pull his beard. He didn't take any nonsense and chased them out of the store.
