How Olu Tones Candles LTD Became the Creators of the Burghley Care Signature Scent

Olu Tones Candles LTD were commissioned to create Burghley Care’s Signature Scent because the organisation wanted its homes to feel genuinely comforting, familiar and emotionally safe, not clinical. Our fragrance expertise allowed us to translate that vision into a sensory experience that welcomes people the moment they step inside one of its beautiful homes.

Burghley Care had a clear ambition: to redefine what a care home feels like. They already invested deeply in the visual details — the colours, the furniture, the lighting, the atmosphere — but they wanted to go further. They wanted to shape the entire sensory experience.

That’s where Olu Tones Candles LTD came in.

The Brief

Burghley Care approached Olu Tones LTD with a simple but powerful challenge:

“When someone walks into our home, we want them to feel truly at ease.”

Not just welcomed.
Not just impressed.
But emotionally settled, as if they’ve stepped into a space that already knows them.

Why Scent Matters

Burghley Care understood something profound: a home isn’t defined only by what you see. It’s shaped by what you sense.

Scent is memory. Scent is comfort. Scent is belonging.

They wanted a fragrance that could quietly communicate all of that before a single word was spoken.

The Collaboration

Olu Tones Candles LTD were commissioned to craft a bespoke fragrance that embodied Burghley Care’s values:

Warmth — a gentle, embracing aroma that softens the moment you arrive

Comfort — notes that feel familiar, safe and reassuring

Calm — a soothing blend designed to ease anxiety and create emotional stillness

Belonging — a scent that feels lived-in, homely and deeply human

Through careful formulation, testing and refinement, Olu Tones LTD created what would become the Burghley Care Signature Scent — a fragrance designed not just to smell beautiful, but to mean something.

More Than a Scent…

The Signature Scent is now part of their identity — a quiet, comforting presence that greets residents, families and staff the moment they walk through the door.

It’s not just fragrance, it’s a sense of home.
