'Emerald Elysium' - An Ode to Ireland’s Enchanted Landscapes

Journey into the mythical heart of the Irish countryside, where emerald landscapes stretch endlessly under the morning mist. ‘Emerald Elysium’ captures this ethereal beauty, blending lush green leaves with floral heart notes and grounding woody accords. The scent conjures an enchanted land where nature’s splendour and history intertwine, creating an elegant yet untamed fragrance that feels both invigorating and tranquil.

There is a place where rolling emerald hills stretch endlessly beneath a veil of morning mist, where wildflower meadows hum with quiet enchantment and ancient forests guard secrets whispered by the wind. This is the Ireland of memory, of myth, of spirit. It is also the inspiration for 'Emerald Elysium', a fragrance that celebrates Neill's Irish heritage and captures the serene beauty of these mystical landscapes.


As dawn breaks across the countryside, the air is crisp and alive with possibility. The scent of dew-laden grass mingles with the gentle sweetness of wildflowers, while mossy woods lend a grounding stillness. 'Emerald Elysium' bottles this elusive balance of freshness and depth, conjuring a fragrance that feels both invigorating and tranquil, a journey into nature’s most captivating legends.

Green Floral Woody - Serene, Lush, Enigmatic

The candle opens with a sparkling Citrus accord brightened by the resinous depth of Elemi and the gentle warmth of Black Pepper, as invigorating as the first light of dawn glistening on moss-covered stone. A lush floral heart of Rose, Peony, Magnolia, Violet, and Bluebell then unfurls, recalling meadows in bloom beneath drifting clouds. Finally, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Cut Grass and Clary Sage create a verdant, grounding finish, echoing the timeless majesty of Ireland’s ancient forests.

'Emerald Elysium' is a Green Chypre composition - fresh, grounding and restorative. It evokes the lush meadows, ancient forests and rolling hills of the Irish countryside, where the air is alive with greenery and the hush of nature.

  • Top Notes: A sparkling opening of citrus accord, elemi and black pepper, reminiscent of sunlight breaking through the morning mist.
  • Heart Notes: A rich heart of sweet pea, rose, magnolia, lily, peony, violet and bluebell, echoing wildflower meadows in full bloom.
  • Base Notes: Cedarwood, sandalwood, oakmoss, jasmine, cut grass and clary sage create a deep, earthy foundation, mirroring the timeless tranquillity of Ireland’s landscapes.

Our candles are hand-poured in England using an all-natural wax blend of beeswax, coconut and rapeseed oil, entirely free from paraffin, for a clean, even burn. Infused with a high concentration of fine fragrance oils crafted in Grasse, 'Emerald Elysium' offers exceptional scent throw, filling your space with verdant freshness and grounding depth, whether lit or unlit.

When you choose 'Emerald Elysium', you are also planting a tree. Through our partnership with Just One Tree, we plant a tree for every candle purchased, helping to restore forests, absorb carbon, and protect biodiversity. It is our way of giving back to the natural world that inspires us.

At Neill Strain Floral Couture, we invite you to go beyond a single scent and create your own olfactory masterpiece. 'Emerald Elysium' layers beautifully with other fragrances in our collection to create new moods and atmospheres.


Curated pairing:

 'Emerald Elysium' and 'No. 11'. Together, they capture the lushness of a flower shop in full bloom with the crispness of freshly cut stems, blending Ireland’s verdant countryside with the timeless elegance of English florals.

By burning two or more candles together, you can create a bespoke scent profile that shifts with your mood, the season, or the occasion.

To ensure your 'Emerald Elysium' candle burns perfectly every time:

  • Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn. 
  • Allow the melted wax to reach the edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling.
  • Limit each burn to 4 hours for optimal scent throw and longevity.

Once finished, the elegant glass vessel can be repurposed, a timeless reminder of Ireland’s mystical landscapes.

Fresh, verdant, and imbued with the spirit of Ireland’s timeless beauty, 'Emerald Elysium' is more than a fragrance. It is an escape, a memory, and a landscape, all captured in a single flame.

Available now at our Mayfair and Belgravia boutiques, our Harrods concession, and online for worldwide delivery.
