ABOUT US

At Bougie Lab, we believe scent has the power to transport you - to distant shores, bustling spice markets and tranquil forests bathed in moonlight. Each of our fragrances is designed to take you on an olfactory journey, turning everyday moments into immersive escapes.  

​​

Our founder, Caroline, started the Bougie Lab journey in 2019 in her kitchen, where she first started making candles for personal use. What began as a creative passion quickly evolved - throw in one global pandemic, and it wasn’t long before she was hand-pouring candles for customers in the 4 corners of the UK. Originally from Derry, Northern Ireland, she has lived in England for over 20 years, and today, Bougie Lab is proudly based on the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire border.  

​​

From the beginning, the Bougie Lab vision has been simple: sustainability, quality, and storytelling. After years of perfecting the right wax blends, wicks, and fragrances, our signature amber glass candles were launched - chosen for their warm, golden glow and endless repurposing possibilities. Hand-poured with a sustainable blend of coconut and soy wax, they remain our most loved creation.  

​​

As Bougie Lab grew, so did our collection. From plastic-free, botanically-infused Wax Melt Snapsticks to refillable Reed Diffusers in apothecary-inspired amber bottles and delicate Room Mists that bring an instant burst of atmosphere, each product is crafted with intention. Every scent is rooted in a specific place, its story woven into the fragrance to transport you beyond the everyday.  

​​

While at Bougie Lab we love working directly with our customers, we also offer wholesale for the right clients who share our passion for high-quality, immersive home fragrance.
