Fragranced Candle "Mayfair"

Overall Ambience 

Mayfair encapsulates historic warmth and opulence. Its layers of exotic spices, rich woods, and a hint of sensual Amber create an inviting yet nostalgic setting, balancing tradition with effortless sophistication. 

The Story of Mayfair 

In the heart of Georgian London, Mayfair emerged as a sanctuary of quiet opulence and refined grandeur. The district, known for its stately townhouses, exclusive clubs, and elegant salons, became synonymous with aristocratic sophistication. Behind grand facades, the glow of candlelight flickered across polished wood interiors, and the air carried the lingering aroma of Tobacco, rich leather, and smouldering embers from crackling fireplaces. Mayfair, the fragrance, is a tribute to this historic district—a scent that envelops you in the warmth and refinement of a bygone era. 

“A Tribute to Timeless Sophistication” 

Mayfair is a Woody Oriental composition—sophisticated, atmospheric, and timeless. It reimagines the grandeur of Georgian townhouses through layers of smoky depth, floral refinement, and warm, comforting woods. 

Top Notes: Smoke, Tobacco 

The fragrance opens with the unmistakable presence of Smoke and Tobacco, capturing the essence of Georgian smoking rooms, where gentlemen would retire after an evening of fine dining, indulging in imported cigars and brandy. These bold top notes set the stage for an olfactory journey through the elegance of a grand townhouse. 

Heart Notes: Orris, Linen, Palo Santo, Leather 

At its heart, Orris, linen, Palo Santo, and leather weave a tapestry of sophistication. The powdery elegance of Orris root, once used to scent fine linens, evokes the crisp freshness of starched fabrics draped over polished dining tables and cascading from grand four-poster beds. The subtle sweetness of Palo Santo nods to the exotic woods imported from across the globe, a symbol of the Georgian era’s fascination with rare and luxurious materials. Leather adds depth, conjuring the scent of bound books lining private libraries, well-worn riding boots resting by the entrance, and the supple feel of handcrafted upholstery adorning drawing rooms. 

Base Notes: Patchouli, Musk, Cedarwood, Birch Tar, Amber 

As the fragrance settles, a rich and lingering base of Patchouli, Musk, Cedarwood, Birch Tar, and Amber creates an atmosphere of intimacy and quiet prestige. The deep warmth of Amber and Musk mirrors the candlelit glow that illuminated Mayfair’s townhouses, while Patchouli and Cedarwood call to mind the scent of aged wood and finely crafted furnishings. Birch Tar, with its subtly smoky, resinous quality, adds the final touch—reminiscent of the fireplaces that burned throughout the seasons, their warmth permeating every chamber. 

“An Evening in Mayfair” 

Mayfair is a fragrance of timeless sophistication—rooted in history yet effortlessly modern, evoking an era when elegance was a way of life. With its layered complexity, it captures the spirit of a district that remains the pinnacle of understated luxury. 

As evening deepens, warm Patchouli and Musk intertwine with smoky Amber, capturing the intimate sophistication of London’s most refined district. The scent of polished wood and aged Tobacco lingers in the air of a historic townhouse, softened by the delicate freshness of pressed linen and rare Orris. 

Mayfair is a fragrance that pays homage to tradition while embracing modernity—where elegance is effortless, and luxury is a quiet statement of refined taste.

Candle Care Guide

For the perfect burn and long-lasting fragrance

Your Neill Strain Floral Couture candle has been meticulously crafted to bring luxury and refinement into your space. Follow these simple care tips to ensure the best experience.

Before You Light

- Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn to ensure a clean, even flame and prevent excessive smoke.
- Place on a heat-resistant surface away from drafts, curtains, and flammable materials.
- Allow the wax to settle at room temperature before lighting for the first time.

During Use

- Let the wax pool – Burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the vessel (typically 2-3 hours) to prevent tunnelling.
- Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time to maintain an optimal scent throw and candle longevity.
- Keep away from children and pets and never leave a burning candle unattended.

After Each Burn

- Extinguish gently – Use a snuffer or blow softly to avoid wax splatter.
- Re-centre the wick while the wax is still warm to ensure an even burn next time.
- Allow the wax to cool completely before relighting or moving the candle.

Maximising Your Candle’s Life

- Stop using your candle when 10mm of wax remains to prevent overheating the vessel.
- Reuse or recycle the glass container – Once the wax is fully used, clean the vessel with warm water and repurpose it elegantly.

Storing Your Candle

- Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent wax discoloration.
- Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the fragrance’s integrity.

Each candle is hand-poured and infused with the finest fragrance blends, ensuring an exquisite sensory experience. We hope it brings warmth, beauty, and indulgence to your home.
