About Fragrance

On most labels, "fragrance" is a single word that can stand in for dozens of ingredients you are never told about. It is the industry's biggest loophole, and the one we refuse to use.

Our Luxury Bio Candles are scented with 100% essential oils and botanical extracts, and every one is named in each candle's Scent Architecture.

No CMRs. No parabens. No phthalates. Nothing known to disrupt your hormones.

Every blend is cured slowly so the scent binds with the wax: complex and room-filling, never flat.

Full allergen and safety information is printed on every label.

In their words

FROM THE HOUSE

Customer review: I bought three, Smoke, Sun and Mist. These are so special. Well done on their purity. Customer review: I was given the Sun candle as a gift and it has the most wonderful scent.
Our Core Code

OUR INTENTION

• We believe that true home fragrance is an act of deep restoration. A beautiful scent should never come at the expense of your health or your family's wellbeing.

• We believe that clean and luxury belong together. Absolute, full transparency is our minimum standard—meaning every raw material, botanical base, and organic extraction is fully named and cataloged with zero loopholes.

• We believe in the deliberate choice of quality over quantity in every single avenue of existence. We apply this rule to the wholesome food we source, the deep relationships we choose to protect, the constructive thoughts we foster, and the clean air we breathe daily.

• We believe that you can wake up tomorrow morning and completely alter the direction of your life, your perspective, and your habits. True self-care is not a shallow commodity; it is a profound practice of radical self-respect.

• We believe in the genuine, biological bond between raw plant chemistry and the human nervous system. We honor this relationship by pouring slowly, blending intentionally, and avoiding mass-production noise to build a true sanctuary for your home.

THE FOUNDERS

Amanda Ladlow & Michele Matthews

Amanda Ladlow and Michele Matthews

We questioned it — then we changed it.

We are Amanda and Michele — neighbours, friends, and two women whose health journeys changed the questions we asked about the products entering our homes. Michele had beaten cancer, and Amanda was navigating perimenopause alongside two children and a demanding corporate career. We shared the same thinking: more conscious of what went into our food, our wellbeing and our hormones.

We loved luxury home fragrance — candles, diffusers and we always bought luxury brands that we thought were rooted in wellness. Then we started to look more closely, and found paraffin wax dressed up as ‘mineral wax’, and dozens of chemicals hidden behind the single word ‘fragrance.’

Michele hand-pouring candles in the House of Intent studio

We could not find the transparency we wanted. So we trained as chandlers, studied aromatherapy, and created the brand we couldn’t find — the House of Intent. Luxury home fragrance without carcinogens, parabens, phthalates, silicones or PEGs — made for women who want their homes to smell beautiful, without the hormone disruptors.

We are not simply another candle company. We understand that at times our research, knowledge and direct opinions can be triggering for some, as not everyone wants to know about the legal loopholes in the home fragrance industry. But we are committed to raising the standards and expectations of the home fragrance market, and we will only achieve this by doing better, being better and creating better.

Beautiful cleaner scent — inspired by the British countryside, rooted in modern intention.
Love, Amanda & Michele x
