An Introduction To Field Day's Natural Fragrances
Founded in 2002 by Alix Mulholland, Field Day is a natural fragrance brand based in County Down, Northern Ireland. The company was born out of a love for the natural beauty and native scents of the Irish countryside, aiming to capture that essence in candles, diffusers, room sprays, and fresheners. Each natural fragrance is inspired by the landscape, from wildflowers and fresh linen to the salty sea breeze and rolling heather.
Field Day products are all made in Ireland, with candles hand-poured in small batches using 100% vegetable soy wax to ensure a clean and long-lasting burn. The brand places a strong emphasis on sustainability, using recyclable and biodegradable packaging and sourcing ingredients with care to reduce environmental impact wherever possible.

The Process
At Field Day Ireland, every candle begins with a careful blend of craftsmanship and sustainability, the key to replicating the most natural fragrance possible. The process starts with 100% vegetable soy wax, which is hand-poured in small batches to ensure a clean, even burn. Each natural fragrance is thoughtfully developed to capture the essence of the Irish landscape—whether it’s fresh rain, wildflowers, or sea air. Once poured, the candles are left to cure before being finished, labelled, and packaged using recyclable, eco-conscious materials. This hands-on approach ensures that every product is not only beautifully made but also kind to the environment and rich in Irish character. Hopefully reminding you of the natural fragrance of your own homeland.
The Beginning Of Field Day
FieldDay was born in 2002 when Alix, a girl from County Down was inspired to capture and bottle the native natural fragrance in the fields of our Irish countryside. They've been growing with you for over 20 years, and whilst they're older and wiser, they're more passionate than ever about our great Irish outdoors and creating natural fragrances for everyone that soothe and inspire all.
"Surrounded by fields and yet more fields is where Alix is happiest, especially when it’s raining…"

What Makes Natural & Soy Candles Unique
Cleaner Burning – Soy and other natural fragrance waxes burn with less soot and smoke, making them gentler on indoor air quality and better for people with sensitivities.
Longer-Lasting – Natural fragrance waxes like soy burn slower and cooler than paraffin, giving you more hours of fragrance and value per candle.
Biodegradable and Renewable – Made from renewable plant sources like soybeans, these natural fragrance candles are fully biodegradable and more environmentally friendly.
Better Scent Throw – Natural waxes hold and release fragrance more evenly, allowing for a well-balanced aroma that gently fills the room without overpowering.
Non-Toxic Ingredients – Free from petroleum-based chemicals, soy and natural candles reduce the risk of releasing harmful toxins when burned.
Eco-Friendly Production – Sourcing soy wax supports sustainable agriculture and has a smaller environmental footprint compared to synthetic alternatives.
Minimal Residue – They leave behind little to no black residue on walls or ceilings, helping maintain a cleaner home environment.
Easy to Clean Up – Spilled soy wax can be cleaned up with warm water and soap, unlike traditional waxes that are harder to remove.
Cruelty-Free and Often Vegan – Most natural fragrance candles are made without animal testing or animal-derived ingredients, aligning with ethical lifestyle choices.
