I The Collection

Handmade in Nottingham

Four scents. Four rooms.

Every room has a secret. Every scent sets a scene. And every alibi has a story worth hearing.

III The Silent Witnesses they see everything, they say nothing

Hand-Cast Gypsum Diffusers

The Silent Witnesses

Hand-cast gypsum, framed in antique gold and finished with a green velvet ribbon. Add a few drops of your own fragrance oil, then slip one into a drawer, hang it in a wardrobe or leave it in a quiet corner; it scents the room discreetly, and never breathes a word about what it saw.

Our Story

Where it began

Some people inherit heirlooms; I inherited a lifelong obsession with a good murder mystery. I learned early that the true culprit isn't the butler; it's the atmosphere. A study thick with tobacco. A library keeping its secrets between the pages.

The Alibi Collection is the answer to one question: what if you could light the scent of a locked-room mystery? I make candle fragrances inspired by the rooms where the drama unfolded, so each one sets a scene the moment you light it.

Because every room remembers what happened in it.

Choose your alibi.

The full collection is on Etsy. Sent tracked, beautifully boxed, and entirely deniable.
