As we wind down for the festive break, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the year we’ve had and say thank you to our wonderful friends, family and customers who have supported us. It’s been an eventful one!

From shoot days on our idyllic sandy shores in Harris, busy days and nights in both our Tarbert and Glasgow stores to the hustle and bustle of attending trade shows and events in New York; we did lots of travel in 2022, making up for lost time when restrictions wouldn’t allow us.

For quite some time we were busy behind the scenes, secretly developing and perfecting our new collection of luxury candles and home fragrances. It takes a lot of time, energy and determination from our whole team, to create new scents, find the right packaging to bring it all together, land on the name that sparks the connection to our wild and wonderful island and all of the important jobs and hard work that go into making and launching a new range. Thank you to our ever passionate, diligent team who made it happen!

Come October, we were so proud to bring you Elements. Our brand has always sought to capture the feeling of being on the Isle of Harris and while Elements is no different, it evokes the raw and temperamental nature of the Outer Hebrides. The result is a sophisticated evolution that compliments our Classic Collection. We were delighted to see you were as excited as us to experience Harris in a new light.

Thank you to everyone who made a purchase from us this year and supported us and small independent Scottish business. We are so grateful to each and every one of you.

Wishing you a lovely, restorative festive break from all at Essence of Harris x
