Red Hill Candle Co.
Life Instyle chats with Red Hill Candle Co. to discuss the brand, how the idea first came about and her brands plan for the future.
We're a multi-faceted candle and perfume brand offering Australian Made home fragrance products made in small batches.
We have the insights from hosting over 17,000 people over the past 6 years at our Mornington Peninsula store for candle-making and perfume-making workshops. This gives us a competitive edge to see what fragrances resonate best and our in house fragrance design team blend scents unique to our brand. This combined with a small, passionate team servicing our wholesale partners allow us to move quickly in the marketplace.
We are excited to launch new scents, styles and artist collaborations at the August 2026 Life in Style event which have been a long time in the making!
10 years ago we started out making products from home and selling at local craft markets. Our vision was always to create a space where people could be part of the process. This lead to opening first retail store in 2020 and launching candle making experiences. We wanted to create a brand that told stories through fragrance, celebrates creativity and helps people to bring joy into their lives through everyday fragrance rituals.
In 2024 we debuted our two best selling collections, the Australiana Collection (illustrated by a local artist in eye catching colours) and our Felt Air Freshener Flowers which are perfect for scenting small spaces. These have been hugely popular and seen us grow from 40 stockists to now over 200 stockists across the country in two short years maintaining an incredible repeat purchase rate. We're proud to have gone from a home based business to now stocked at airports, world class museums and attractions as well as smaller lifestyle boutiques and pharmacies across the country.
In September 2025 we launched our sister brand Red Hill Perfume Co. which is now stocked at around 70 stores Australia wide.
From the outset our goal has been to create a brand that keeps people coming back and is more than being about consumption of products. Our destination perfumery on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula is the first of its kind offering year round candle, perfume and charm jewelery making workshops.
We're proud to be Australian Made and Owned and strong year on year growth has meant we are able to employ an amazing team of locals year round.
