About
Hello and welcome... My name is Sally McCaffrey, founder of The Botanic Wick. I am enormously excited to bring you my unique collection of truly authentic botanic fragrances.
​
Having spent 20 years enjoying work as a professional gardener, I am inspired by the richness and diversity of aromatic flora.
So, four years ago, I decided to embark on a quest; to capture the essence of botanic and plant-based fragrances in the form of beautiful vegan candles that allow you to connect with nature all year round.
I appreciate not everyone is as nutty about plants as me, but we all love a nice smell. I wanted to design a collection of elegant fragrances that encapsulate the seasons and harness the power of botanic remedies used for centuries. With this in mind, I began my research, blending fragrances of herbs and fruits, woods and flowers to create unique, emotive aromas.
​
Supporting small business is at the heart of The Botanic Wick brand. Joining me on my quest to bring you authentic botanic fragrances are a group of truly inspirational women. A team of local working Mums who, by bringing their expertise and passion, have made The Botanic Wick possible.
​
Hand-poured in small batches in my workshop near Hampton Court, every element (from creative support and design through to materials and manufacturing) is sourced from a small or family-run business, most of which are local to my hometown of Molesey. I have carefully selected UK based suppliers that are dedicated to ethical and sustainable business practice.
I hope my candles bring as much joy to you as creating them has brought me.
Thank you for supporting #smallbusiness

Yours botanically,
