'Mayfair' - A Tribute to Timeless Sophistication

Inspired by the grandeur of Georgian Mayfair, this fragrance recalls the refined interiors of historic townhouses. ‘Mayfair’ blends the smoky warmth of fireplaces with the scent of leather-bound books and freshly pressed linens. The exotic spices and polished woods evoke a timeless sophistication, honouring Mayfair’s legacy of understated luxury. 


In the heart of Georgian London, Mayfair flourished as a haven of quiet opulence. Stately façades concealed candlelit salons where polished wood glistened in the glow of hearth fires and the fragrance of fine tobacco lingered in the air. Gentlemen retired to smoking rooms lined with leather-bound books, while the crisp scent of pressed linens drifted from grand dining tables awaiting their next gathering.

‘Mayfair’ was created as an olfactory portrait of these moments: the warmth of firelight against wood panelling, the tactile richness of leather and linen, the aromatic intrigue of rare imported woods. Each note is a thread in this tapestry of refinement, weaving history into a fragrance that feels as current as it is timeless. More than a candle, it is an atmosphere, a story that transforms your space into one of quiet prestige and enduring sophistication.

When you choose 'Mayfair', 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 every fragrance we create.

At Neill Strain Floral Couture, we invite you to go beyond a single scent and create your own olfactory masterpiece. 'Mayfair' blends beautifully with other candles in our collection for layered, mood-enhancing experiences.

Curated Pairing:

  • The Mayfair Affair: 'Mayfair' + 'No.8' - A sophisticated blend where timeless elegance meets modern flair. Perfect for chic city living, this duo radiates understated luxury.

To ensure your 'Mayfair' 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 the grandeur of Georgian Mayfair.
