About me

Hey there! I’m Gillian, the founder of Coorie Home Co.

It all started one day during a walk with my husband at one of my favourite spots, a reservoir near our home. As we walked I floated the idea starting a business. Without hesitation he supported me, just like he always does. Even when I then spent nearly a year making wax melt baby shower favours (and filling the house with the constant smell of Baby Powder!), he was right there cheering me on.

My very first attempt at making wax melts was a batch of Rhubarb & Custard heart melts. Friends and family loved them, and after lots of learning and plenty of mistakes, Coorie Home Co was born in May 2021. Fast forward to February 2023, and I had moved the business from my dining room to a cosy farmyard workshop just outside Linlithgow ~ a perfect space for pouring candles, experimenting with new scents, and diving deeper into my creative side.

In November 2023, I took my passion to the next level by completing a candle-making course. That experience only deepened my love for creating fragrances, and it’s what fuels me to keep experimenting with new scents, each one inspired by the beautiful Scottish outdoors ~ from the fresh coastal air to the earthy forest smells, or the sweet, fruity vibes from bramble picking in late summer.

I love nothing more than connecting with people and helping them find the perfect scent for their homes. I truly believe that scent has the power to create special moments, whether it’s bringing back a cherished memory or just making you pause and breathe deeply. Every fragrance I create is one I’d burn in my own home, and I want that same feeling of comfort and calm to come through in every product you receive from Coorie Home Co. 💛
