Our story

 

The Story of Highland Rose Melts

 

Hello! We're Dave and Shelly, the proud owners and creators behind Highland Rose Melts. Our journey started in 1992 when we met in secondary school in Essex, and it led us, in 2023, on a 400-mile adventure to our beloved home in beautiful Scotland.

  

 

From Challenge to Creativity

Our home fragrance business was born from a desire to rekindle creativity during a challenging time. In 2021, while Dave was recovering from long COVID, Shelly surprised him with a candle-making kit to encourage him to tap back into his creative roots—which, before this, he expressed through music, songwriting, and graphic design.

 

Dave’s knack for design and Shelly's administrative expertise proved to be the perfect combination. What began as a fun, therapeutic craft quickly evolved. After months of trial and error, we perfected our ingredients and processes, moving beyond a hobby and into a full-fledged passion.

 

 

 

Handmade, Scottish, and Scented

We are thrilled that our 100% handmade wax products have been warmly welcomed by our new community in Scotland. Every melt and candle is crafted with care and passion, designed to transform your space into a cosy haven of delightful scents.

Whether you shop online or find us at a local Scottish market, we invite you to immerse yourself in our enchanting collection and meet our lovely brand mascot, Rosie McMelt!

 

At Highland Rose Melts, we believe every breath should be a luxurious experience. We’re excited to continue growing our range with new ideas and fragrances all the time, bringing handcrafted home fragrance to you.
