Home Fragrance with a Distinctive Character

Luxury natural home fragrance, from our house to yours!

We are here to take you on a journey, inspired by Sussex nature, childhood memories and personal experiences from travelling around the world, while you are enjoying the warmth of your home and private space. When you light our candles, you create energy, comfort and security. You are at home, at peace, away from the noisy bustle of the world beyond.

But home is also a place to daydream and to be entirely yourself. A place to become lost in thoughts of wild walks and playful days. Our candles are inspired directly by the natural world, our scents are unique blends of spices, woods, fruits, flora and fauna.

They are divided into distinctive collections.

OUR STORY

Sussex Special is a family-owned business, the founder Mimi Hallas was a Pastry Chef, working in Brighton’s most favourite hotels. If you have ever spent a weekend in Brighton, there is a good chance you have eaten one of her afternoon teas.

Once Mimi started her own family, she felt the pull of home and all its comforts more deeply than before, the desire to retreat, recharge and reconnect. While Mimi loved seeing families talk, laugh and eat in the hotel dining room, they would only join her for an afternoon. What if she could provide something that would last much longer?

She realised she could, by handcrafting candles that would burn in the hearts of many homes, warming cosy afternoons and joyful nights with their light and scent.

As someone who had always been full of artistry and individuality, she knew she could create candles that would become the unique aroma of home, wherever they were lit.

With that thought, Sussex Special was born, in our home kitchen.

With care, from our house to yours,
Mimi Hallas
