My Story

Mystic Nomad: Bringing the Magic of the Chiltern Hills into Your Home

Mystic Nomad isn't just about candles—it’s about capturing the quiet, restorative magic of the British countryside and bringing it inside. We believe that a home should be a sanctuary, a place where the scent of the wild woods or a dew-soaked meadow can instantly slow down the world outside.

I’m Nicky, the founder and maker behind Mystic Nomad. My journey began in the world of holistic therapies, where I spent years using the raw power of botanicals and custom aromatherapy blends to help my clients find balance and relief. My very first candles—now known as our Spa Rituals Collection—were created right there in my practice. I wanted to turn those soothing, professional blends into something my clients could take home to continue their self-care rituals. Those clients became my very first customers. Today, I continue to pour that same therapeutic magic into every blend, now inspired by the ancient, rolling landscapes of the Chiltern Hills.

After experiencing my own season of exhaustion, I found my healing in nature—in long, mindful walks through damp woodland trails and fields of wildflowers. I realized how deeply our well-being is tied to the earth, and I wanted to create a beautiful, daily ritual that allowed people to bring that grounding countryside peace into their own living rooms.

Hand-Poured in the Heart of the Countryside

From my garden studio in the Chilterns, I thoughtfully blend and hand-pour every single candle and botanical melt. We use only clean, plant-based ingredients and premium botanical oils to create fragrances that feel like a breath of fresh country air. [1]

Whether it is the comforting crackle of a fireside blend on a winter evening or the uplifting scent of a hedgerow in spring, our creations are designed to help you pause, exhale, and reconnect with the gentle rhythms of nature.

Create Your Sanctuary

There is a unique magic in the simple act of striking a match at twilight. Mystic Nomad exists to help you transform your space into a cozy haven of warmth and renewal. Light a candle, draw the curtains, and let the scent of the wilds guide you home.
