Meet the Maker

Welcome to By Julie Home Fragrance

 

 

Hi, I’m Julie – Candle Addict & Leopard Print Lover Extraordinaire

Welcome to my world of home fragrance! I’m Julie, the founder and maker behind By Julie, and yes – I’m a complete candle addict with a long-standing obsession for all things leopard print.

Every product in my collection is lovingly handmade in my workshop in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, using a 100% natural wax blend.  You’ll find my creations right here online, in The Bay Emporium in Whitley Bay (a gorgeous little shop I share with two other talented crafters), and every Saturday at the Makers Market in the Killingworth Centre a great market that I also organise and run as well as take part in.

One thing I noticed in the candle world is the lack of choice when it comes to unisex fragrances and truly natural wax products. That’s what inspired me to create a range of candles and home fragrance items with deeper, richer scents that everyone can enjoy – regardless of gender.

Design and branding have always been just as important to me as fragrance. My love for leopard print started back in my teenage years, so it felt only right to make it part of my identity. Bold, glamorous, and a bit wild – just like my signature amber glass leopard-print containers, which pair beautifully with my fragrance range and complement any interior style.

But it doesn’t stop at candles. My collection has grown to include:

• Room sprays

• Car perfume sprays

• Hand & body lotions

• Hand & body washes

• Diffusers

• Wax melts

• Tea lights

• Greeting cards

• A stunning selection of candle accessories – from elegant snuffers to wax melters and tapered candles

Everything I make is vegan-friendly and cruelty-free, because I believe luxury shouldn’t come at the expense of kindness.

I’m passionate about sustainability too – so I encourage you to reuse and upcycle your candle jars. They make perfect little pots for makeup brushes, jewellery, plants, or whatever brings you joy.

I’m personally involved in every step of the process – from carefully blending the fragrance oils at the perfect temperature, to hand-placing each cotton wick. It’s this attention to detail and commitment to quality that I hope will bring you back time and time again.

Please follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok – and don’t forget to tag me in your photos and stories. I absolutely love seeing how my creations fit into your beautiful homes.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love, Julie x
