The inspiration behind our Village collection

by Abbie Coombes
Collections

A garden abundant with roses, a stroll down country paths in the height of summer and the feeling of being by the sea with the wind blowing a gale. Our Village Collection reflects everything that we adore about the English countryside. The beauty of being close to nature’s delights and the simplicity of endless fields, rolling hills and charming villages.

A village in the English countryside allows you to escape into the calming embrace of nature and we’ve sought to mirror this in our Village home fragrance collection.

“The Village collection reflects everything that we love about the English countryside: beauty, simplicity and honesty.”

- Roger Biles

The choice of vessels

The candles, diffusers and room sprays in our Village collection are presented in a timeless etch-effect clear glass that reflects the purity and honesty of the English countryside. Picturesque fields, woodland, and nature’s hidden treasures to be discovered along country paths. The purity of this setting has provided inspiration for paintings and novels for centuries, and the vessels in our Village collection too.

Our village fragrances

Beauty blooms in an English country garden, whether it’s the much-prized flower beds or the beautiful rose outside the cottage door. Our Village collection is rich with floral scents that capture the delicate but enduring smells of colourful blooms and wildflowers swaying in the fields. Our Moroccan Rose and White Tea fragrances fill any space with an uplifting softness and warmth which mirrors the refreshing scents of flowers bursting from their buds.

The beauty of the English countryside can also be discovered on those narrow paths that lead the way to rolling waves and a fresh sea breeze. Our Seashore and Chesil Beach fragrances embody the bracing walks on cliff tops and the lightheaded feeling of being by the sea. Our Chesil Beach fragrance takes inspiration from the iconic, 18-mile-long shingle barrier beach in Dorset, not far from True Grace HQ. The fragrance is reminiscent of the beach’s sun-bleached pebbles and the welcoming scent of tangy of salt and fresh seaweed.

A Cedar Tree is found in many secluded parks and grand country estates in England. Our Cedarwood fragrance plays homage to the charm of this majestic tree and is rich with notes of sandalwood, cypress and amber. We picture the tree stood in the garden with a makeshift swing hanging from a large branch, evoking joyous childhood memories of hours spent in the garden.

You can sample the collection with our new Taste of Village Fragrance Sample Bundle. The 4-pack bundle contains some of our bestselling scents from the range including Moroccan Rose, Fig, Wild Lime and Rosemary & Eucalyptus.
