The manor house Vision
Behind The Curtain
At Regions Beyond, every candle is crafted as an invitation to step inside our fictional English manor house a world of escapism, heritage, and maximalist storytelling. I’ve always been fascinated by the atmosphere of old estates: the creak of oak floors, the hush of hidden rooms, the quiet drama held in every corner. Scent, to me, is the most powerful way to bring that world into the present, an element of storytelling you can hold in your hands. Each fragrance is blended to feel like a chapter pulled from the manor itself, allowing you to authentically scent your home as though you’ve crossed its threshold. Light a wick, and you’re transported to regions beyond: rooms, times & places that exist only in imagination, yet feel utterly, hauntingly real.
THE BEGINING
My love for candle-making began long before Regions Beyond existed—back in childhood, standing beside my grandfather as he crafted taper candles with a precision I didn’t yet understand. He sold them at small farmer’s markets, but to me they were treasures, artefacts shaped by patience and skill. As I grew older, I realised the quiet mastery behind his work, and those early memories became the blueprint for my own journey.
I founded Regions Beyond with that same spirit of craftsmanship, determined to blend heritage with imagination.
What began as a small passion project has evolved into a fully realised candle house, where every fragrance is blended in-house and tested endlessly until it earns its place in the collection. From the start, I’ve focused on unorthodox, story-driven scents—aromas drawn from lived experiences, British culture, and the atmospheric places that shaped me. “The Church,” for example, was inspired by the chalky stone and wooden pews of my own village church. Other blends explore the brighter side of perfumery, reflecting renewal and the changing seasons, while still staying true to the brand’s moodier, more evocative edge.
Today, Regions Beyond operates from a bespoke workspace in Sussex, with roots firmly planted in the surrounding countryside I grew up in. I take pride in using UK-manufactured materials, a sustainable vegan wax blend crafted in-house, and premium fragrance oils sourced from trusted suppliers. Every candle is poured with care, under precise conditions that ensure a clean, even burn and a powerful scent throw—qualities that have become hallmarks of the brand.
Although our fictional manor house remains the imaginative world behind Regions Beyond, the heart of the brand is grounded in real craftsmanship, family heritage, and a dedication to creating candles that feel like artefacts of another place and time. What started as a personal passion has grown into a community of people who love scent as deeply as I do—and I’m honoured to welcome you to the journey.
