We’ve all walked into a room and immediately felt transported. Maybe it was the scent of sea mist reminding you of a holiday, or warm caramel making you feel instantly at home. That is the power of Glasshouse Fragrances, the Australian brand that has completely redefined how we scent our lives.
At The Cumquat Tree, we are proud stockists of Glasshouse because we believe luxury shouldn't just be seen — it should be smelled. Whether you are visiting one of our four Perth boutiques (Bicton, Baldivis, Mandurah, Manning) or shopping online from the comfort of your sofa, here is everything you need to know about the brand Perth can't get enough of.
But the most common question we get is: "Should I get a candle or a diffuser?"
The answer? You need both. Here is why they work better together.
The Glasshouse difference: more than just a candle
Founded in 2006 by Nicole Eckels, Glasshouse Fragrances was born in Sydney to fill a gap in the market for high-quality, affordable luxury scents. What sets them apart is their "Triple Scented" technology. Unlike standard candles, Glasshouse uses a proprietary non-toxic soy blend wax loaded with fragrance, ensuring the scent remains intense from the first burn to the very last.
If the diffuser is the background, the Triple Scented Candle is the main event. Lighting a candle is a ritual—it signals that the work day is done, or that it’s time to relax. Glasshouse candles are famous for their potent soy blend wax that fills a room with intense fragrance within minutes.
- Best for: Living areas, dining tables, and evening relaxation.
- Clean burn: Lead-free cotton wicks for a pure, safe burn.
- Artistry: Scents designed by world-class perfumers to take you on a journey.
- Reuse: Iconic glass jars designed to be reused as chic storage for makeup brushes, cotton buds, or office supplies.
The backdrop: fragrance diffusers
Think of a Glasshouse Reed Diffusers as the bassline of your home’s scent. It works hard in the background 24/7, ensuring that whenever you (or a guest) walk through the door, you are greeted with a beautiful, subtle aroma.
- Best for: Hallways, bathrooms, and walk-in robes.
- Why we love it: It’s "set and forget." No flame, no fuss, just constant freshness for months.
Limited Edition spotlight: Emily in Paris 🇫🇷
Just when you thought your home couldn't get any chicer, Glasshouse has released their limited edition Emily in Paris collection. This isn't just a candle; it's a ticket to the City of Light.
Inspired by the hit Netflix show, this scent captures the essence of Parisian glamour. Imagine notes of Violette and Praline blended with Rose and Vanilla. It is sparkling, romantic, and unapologetically bold—much like Emily Cooper herself.
- Why we love it: The packaging is a collector's dream, featuring a vibrant, fashion-forward design that looks stunning on any coffee table.
- Who it's for: The Francophile, the fashion lover, or anyone who needs a little joie de vivre in their Perth home.
- Availability: As a limited edition, these sell out fast. If you see it on our shelves, grab it before it disappears!
