Our Story

Driven by a passion for fragrances, a love of nature and lust for life, Wax Lyrical is more than just a great British Brand. Wax Lyrical is a collection of talented people who bring their values and passions to bear on the products we create and the surroundings we preserve.

Nestled on the edge of the English Lake District, we are the UK’s largest home fragrance manufacturer. Our size and scale mean we take our responsibilities seriously, so we go out of our way to operate an environmentally conscious business, protecting the beautiful surroundings that inspire us every day. From products to processes, materials to people, we strive to make the best possible decisions with the least impact on the environment, whilst delivering the very best products to our customers across the world.

40 years into our journey, our beautiful surroundings continue to inspire us and give us one more thing to Wax Lyrical about. We believe your home is a reflection of who you really are. So is ours.

When You Choose Wax Lyrical

When you choose Wax Lyrical, you choose a blend of craft, heritage and values - all of which inform our distinct ways of working with products, customers and partners alike.

The English Lake District roots us and reminds us who we are. It was here yesterday and will be there tomorrow - and it will still be honest, trustworthy and authentic. Much like us.

It’s why our products are imbued with a richness that awakens the senses, which inspires the head and the heart in equal measure, a lyrical awakening that fills moments with passion, memory and possibility.

We’re home to a state-of-the-art laboratory where we design and test all of our home fragrances. Led by our in-house Dr who heads up our lab, and our team of qualified ‘noses’, or fragrance experts, we’re proud to be paving the way for home fragrance manufacturing in the UK.

Our mission is to help you to adorn your own spaces with your signature ambience, for life’s best moments.

We Are 100% Fragranced

If you’ve heard from us before you’ll know we’re often waxing lyrical about being 100% fragranced, but you may not be sure what we mean by this.

In some cases, fragrance isn’t added to all of the wax in a scented candle and instead fragranced wax may only be added at the end of the process, for example – but this isn’t the Wax Lyrical way!

Fragrance runs through every drop of wax in our scented candles, so that you can enjoy your favorite aromas until the very last flicker.
