20 YEARS OF OUR FOUNDING FRAGRANCE, GERANIUM
This year marks 20 years since we began producing our geranium fragrance, which was inspired by our founder's love of scented-leafed pelargoniums and the varieties she grows at home. Two decades on and what has become our signature fragrance continues to define the essence of our brand.
‘As we celebrate this milestone, I'm reminded of the first time I fell in love with our founding fragrance. As a little girl, I remember using a green bottle of Floris's Rose Geranium oil in the bath. Just a few drops and the scent would fill the whole house. It's remarkable how scent can transport us to moments from our past.’

'Geranium is our signature scent; a tribute to the collection I've nurtured in my glasshouse for many years. There are over 150 varieties, each one unique, and their notes range from rose and citrus to peppermint and lemon sherbet. The fragrance comes from the pelargonium's leaves - rub them between your fingers and their essential oils release that distinctive green aroma. I find it grounding and nostalgic. The smell of my home, garden and family.'


THE GLASSHOUSE COLLECTION
To mark this milestone, we invited renowned perfumers into the glasshouse to capture the essence of geranium - selecting four different varieties that showcase the depth and complexity of this special plant. Through four delicately blended, handcrafted candles and incense, our Glasshouse Collection brings the heritage of Bamford to life.
‘Some of my favourite pelargonium varieties include Attar of Roses, Mabel Grey and Graveolens – the essences of which have been perfectly captured within our 20th anniversary candle collection.’
CELEBRATING CRAFTSMANSHIP AND SUSTAINBILITY
The anniversary pieces are crafted with meticulous attention to detail: pure cotton wicks are encased in 100% natural wax - a blend of soya, rapeseed and beeswax, hand-poured into hand-crafted vessels made from locally sourced earthenware clay. Each vessel features delicately imprinted Geranium leaves. The candles are free from toxins and harmful ingredients, such as parabens and phthalates. Thoughtfully designed ceramic lids for the candles also serve as holders for the incense sticks - testament to our considered approach to sustainable design.
‘Provenance and craftsmanship are incredibly important to me. Each candle in our Geranium collection is sustainably made in England, using non-toxic natural wax, pure cotton wicks and handcrafted earthenware vessels, designed to be used again. It's a conscious choice that connects you with nature - nurturing both your wellbeing and that of our precious planet.’
