Our History

FAR was founded to fulfil a creative urge that had been bubbling beneath the surface for many years! It had always been put on the back burner when bills and children became a priority – office jobs filled this time, namely management roles within the travel and retail industries. In the middle of this office based career founder Nicole worked a Christmas stint at Jo Malone – just for fun, just to work with beautiful products that she loved. And that’s what inspired her to change the course of her office based career – how cool would it be to hand make a gorgeous product, work with amazing scents and be passionate about sharing this with other people? So – research and production began in 2017. Lots of testing, lots of mistakes, lots of learning – lots of determination to keep our aim of luxury, affordable, sustainable candles with a serious scent on track, until we reached the apothecary inspired brand we are very proud to share with you today.
