Our Story

Barn in Altass

Get to Know Us

At Candles from the Croft, we are passionate about creating luxurious high-quality, sustainable home fragrance products and ranges that transform your space. With a small family team and the founder Sandie Gordon at the helm we work tirelessly to develop unique blends that evoke a sense of tranquility from your time spent in the Scottish Highlands. Gaining awards for our dedication and drive has been a highlight in our early stages of business and allowed us to reach new potentials. Naturally we couldn’t be without Fergie, our black Labrador who features on our label and oversees every aspects of the daily running's. He regularly has conversations with the posties and couriers to suss out what’s coming in and going out. 

We are based on a working Croft in the North of the Scottish Highlands, currently 5th generation and enjoy every aspect of the agricultural calendar.

Since we started our journey in 2023, Candles from the Croft has worked hard to produce vegan friendly, cruelty free and sustainable products using natural materials. We are fortunate enough to include using what the land of the Croft offers throughout our Scottish Range. We are delighted to offer hand poured home fragrances with scents to suit all styles of people and places. They are crafted on a small Croft in Altass, based in the Highlands of Scotland, ensuring each individual home fragrance is poured with the same time and care as the first one. Sustainably being at the heart of our products we use paraben and silicone free soy wax in our candles and melts along with non alcoholic bases and scents in our range of mists and diffusers. Our packaging is fully recycled - even down to the stamp using recycled inks. Each item that ends up in your home is coming from ours, so is sourced, crafted and packaged with dedication and care.

Why choose us

Each product is meticulously handcrafted using premium, eco-friendly materials. We use soy wax and fully recycled cotton or wooden wicks to ensure a clean, long-lasting burn along with non alcoholic bases to ensure around 4 months of scent throw by using our diffusers. With our hand wash and lotions being vegan friendly and cruelty free. Not only that we offer refills to allow our customers more than a one time purchase and ensure we are protecting the land that we call home. We hand pour each product in batches with a high quality control method in place along with extensive testing to ensure your product is at the highest quality before leaving. 

That being said the one thing that sets us apart from others is our Scottish Range. Using natural materials and botanicals inspired by the land Sandie grew up on to fully encapsulate what the Scottish Highlands have to offer. Evoking past memories and illuminating future ones sustainably.
