A scent for every moment ✨ Home fragrance that ACTUALLY smells, minimal design to scent your moments effortlessly Well, hello there! We're conscious too. Kirsty x

Thanks for dropping by our page. Here’s a little smidge about us...

Rowbert is an independent home fragrance brand, founded in Harrogate in May 2017 by me, Kirsty. Our collection of artisan products include soy candles, wax melts, reed diffusers and air mists. Each and every one of our products are handcrafted by me, from my kitchen counter top in Harrogate. Although, more often than not, I get an extra pair of hands in the form of my sister who loves to help! From beginning to end, you're getting a proper artisan product, with quality and attention at every stage. Not churned out in huge batches, going along a conveyor belt poured by huge machines. Where's the personal touch in that? Our candles are made from vegan soy wax, with essential oils and fragrances with a cotton wick. We don't add any dyes or nasty extras, just the fragrance for a clean burn. All of our containers are glass and are perfect for reusing. Our candle jars can be turned into planters, our diffuser bottles into pen pots. We love the idea that our packaging can have a life after our product has been enjoyed. Or if it's not needed, all of our packaging is fully recyclable! Just one more thing... we source everything that goes into our products from UK businesses, meaning you're supporting so many others in the supply chain when buying from us. So a great, BIG thank you! Thanks for dropping by & following my small business journey. I hope you enjoy my products as much as I do making them!

If I’m being real social media is something I really struggle with.
It’s the main area of Rowbert that I was most nervous coming back to.

As a self-proclaimed overthinking perfectionist, I ruminated over everything. I would worry about how I was dressed, how my hair looked, the state of my studio, the tools that I use, will other people judge me for not doing something the ‘proper’ way.

You get pressured from all angles to post every day, post three times a day, post carousels, make reels, post on stories, show your face etc etc and the idea of it just became so overwhelming that I ended up not posting anything at all.

So I’m openly saying that I now give myself permission to post the real messy side of things. The mundane, not so glamorous parts… because that’s what running a small business is. So here is a little photo dump of my day in the studio today. I figure that it’s better to post something messy and imperfect than post nothing at all. 💖

Your fave candle maker is BACK! 🎉

The first candle pour of the year is done and it was FESTIVE 🎄

I was nervous going back into my little studio this evening. I felt rusty and super out of practice. But it was like riding a bike. Even though I haven’t poured for many months, everything came back to me and I ended up pouring 100 Orange & Cinnamon which felt goooood.

In truth I’m MORE nervous to post this post! I’ve not been on social media for months either and I’m like… is anyone out there still? So hi! 👋🏻 I’ll be getting back on here more often and am looking forward to cosy candle season. Thanks for sticking around. Kirsty x

YORK 2025 DONE 💪🏻

This year has been tough. The weather has been relentless 🌧️ But thank you to everyone who showed my small biz support. Whether you purchased for the first time (welcome to the fam!) or you’re a loyalist - THANK YOU. 🙏🏻

Final post office drop tomorrow. Then I’m logging off to enjoy Christmas in Vegas baby! Out of office will be on until Monday 5th January ✌🏻

It’s the final few days of York Christmas Market! 🎄

It’s flown but dragged at the same time, if that makes sense 😆

Thanks so much to everyone who has visited me so far. It always blows my mind how many people have had Rowbert goodies in their homes before & come back again. 💖

I’ll be closing at 7pm on Sunday 21st December so if you’re local and need any last minute goodies - you know where I am! I’m running VERY low on candles and other bits, but lots of wax melts left. For online orders I’d recommend getting your order in ASAP and choose 1st class. My last post office drop will be Monday 22nd December.

Where are my gingerbread lovers at? 😍

If I had £1 for every comment I get on how amazing our gingerbread scent is 🤑

It’s a delicious blend of maple syrup & vanilla with warming notes of ginger & star anise… it’s perfect for bunkering down away from this soggy weather!

It’s the start of a new week! ✨

I’ll be at York Christmas Market, dishing out good smells & candle chat from 10:30-7pm every day. Your online orders are heading out in a timely fashion too, thank you so much for those. 🥰

Remember, you can click & collect online if you’re coming to York and need diffuser refills etc. 😊

Have a fab week folks!
Kirsty
