The Sweet Smell Of Success

Over 100 entries were received for the Henry & Co hamper competition that linked in with the company’s sponsorship of the Greats Best Garden Centre Retailer of Gifts category and The Gift Awards place cards – a limited edition, bespoke, personalised, hand poured candle.

By scanning a QR code in The Gift Awards brochure, attendees at the event (on 16 May at the Royal Lancaster Hotel) were invited to guess the fragrance blend, with three possibilities to choose from, and a prize of a Henry & Co hamper filled with £100 worth of the company’s home fragrance products.

The winner was Priya Aurora-Crowe, co-owner of Lark, which has 19 stores in London and Surrey, who correctly guessed that the fragrance was oud, agar wood & patchouli.

“We made the scent especially for The Gift Awards, and wanted it to reflect a strong, opulent fragrance befitting of the event,” explained Henry & Co’s managing director Mark Rees.

“Attendees I spoke to thought it was a great bit of fun on the night, and following the positive feedback, we may well look to launch the scent into the collection.”

Henry & Co prides itself on its sustainable approach, the use of natural ingredients, and candles being hand poured in the UK, as well as offering a comprehensive wax melt selection that includes Henry & Co’s best-selling Artisan Wax Melts range and the recently launched Artisan Wax Melt Bar.
