Earl of East // fragrance to suit your home + lifestyle

It’s been discovered that scent is closely associated with the emotional centres of the brain. Therefore, it can help the brain function in various ways, from aiding relaxation to evoking happy memories.

Earl of East was founded by Niko Dafkos and Paul Firmin from their shared passion, and has since grown into an internationally recognised brand, combining fragrance and lifestyle. Founded in 2014, it has already been featured in Vogue and Wallpaper magazines as a must-have boutique brand for home fragrance, bath, and body care. Starting with just three candles, the range now includes home mists, incense cones, hand wash, and balm.

With recycled amber glass packaging and production in London, the brand combines style, scent, and sustainability.

Earl of East incense cones are handmade using Makko powder, derived from the bark of Machillus Thunbergii trees, mixed into a paste and scented with a select blend of oils. Each cone burns for approximately 15 minutes.

The soy wax candles are hand-poured into the recycled glass packaging mentioned earlier. They are vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free, with a burn time of 35-40 hours.

The home mist can transform a space with just a few sprays, using eco-friendly botanical oils.

The hand wash is both cleansing and rejuvenating, made with 99.5% naturally derived ingredients, while being SLS, SLES, MI, and paraben-free. It is designed to be used alongside the nourishing hand balm, which contains 90% organic ingredients.

The world of scents can be vast, so in this post, we’re exploring which fragrance to use where, for what mood, and to create which ambiance.
