C.Atherley began in the Gloucestershire greenhouse of founder, Catherine Kidston Padgham MBE, with her collection of scented geraniums and a chance meeting with old friends and founders of skincare company Heathcote and Ivory. What happened next was the conception of C.Atherley - a brand specialising in natural body care made only from distinctive geranium fragrances. The name Atherley once belonged to Catherine's maternal grandmother and chosen to celebrate the women in her family with a strong history of gardening. C.Atherley captures the magic of the geraniums in Cath's greenhouse.
The first geranium chosen from the greenhouse was the Radens variety, with its rare clarifying and uplifting fragrance. Plants were then cultivated ready for development before recreated by a Somerset-based master perfumer. He carefully hand blended a complex mix of 100% pure essential oils to create the Geranium No.1 fragrance.
FEATURES
Calming and uplifting, each candle is hand poured in a converted dairy in the UK’s South Downs. Wicks are lead-free made from braided cotton, ensuring a clean and pure burn. The scent is drawn from the greenhouse where perfumer gently rubbed the leaves to release the fragrance. He then matched it back directly to the Radens plant.
Burn time up to 45 hours.

ADDITIONAL ADVICE
When using the candle for the first time, leave it to burn until the wax has melted and pooled to the edge to ensure an even burn.
Regularly re-centre, straighten and cut the wick between uses, ensuring it’s no longer than 1/4inch / 6mm.
For best results burn your candle at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours at a time.
Reusable glass jar: Once your candle is finished, carefully remove any excess wax and wick plates and wipe clean to reuse. Make sure there’s about a 1cm of wax left. Burning any further could cause the vessel to overheat.
Other beauty products are available as part of the C.Atherley range.
