‘Ewe’ by Herdy, is a blend of carefully chosen fragrances that capture the essence of the Lake District. Created to bring the relaxing and invigorating elements of our favourite landscape into your home. Each note in the 'Ewe' fragrance is inspired by the rugged fells, woodlands, and fresh coastal breezes that make the Lakes so ewe-nique. Whether you’re a visitor, a local, or simply someone who feels a special connection to the Lake District, Herdy’s new 'Ewe' fragranced candle will transport you to this beautiful corner of the world.
Scents Inspired by the Lake District
Juniper: Crisp and Vibrant
The journey begins with juniper, a wild and aromatic scent that’s long been a part of the Lake District’s natural tapestry. Growing in clusters around hillsides, juniper bushes are not only striking in their evergreen beauty but also carry a distinctively fresh and slightly piney aroma. This scent is invigorating, with a vibrant quality that reminds us of morning walks through the fells or the first breath of crisp air on a lakeside hike. Juniper brings a clean, almost purifying note to the fragrance blend, evoking the rejuvenating spirit of the countryside.
As a scent, juniper is wonderfully grounding. It’s the note that wakes up the senses, adding a bright and lively opening that’s perfect for mornings or any time you want to feel revitalized.

Cedarwood: Warm and Earthy
Next, we’ve included cedarwood to add depth and warmth. Cedarwood trees are often associated with peaceful forests and cosy spaces, and the Lake District is no stranger to the charm of woodland landscapes. The scent of cedarwood has an earthy, slightly sweet quality that wraps around you like a soft, woollen blanket.
With notes that are woody yet gentle, cedarwood adds a calming layer to the fragrance blend. Imagine walking through a shaded forest path, hearing the rustle of leaves beneath your feet, and catching the scent of damp wood in the air. That is the experience cedarwood brings to the “Ewe” candle — comforting, familiar, and a little nostalgic.

Oak Moss: Soft and Comforting
We couldn’t capture the essence of the Lake District without a nod to its abundant oak trees and moss-covered landscapes. Oak Moss is an earthy, soft scent that evokes misty mornings, mossy stone walls, and the deep green hues of the Lake District’s wooded areas. Oak Moss adds a touch of mystery to the “Ewe” candle, an earthy layer that feels grounding and timeless.
The scent of Oak Moss is unique in its ability to feel both wild and serene. It brings to life the idea of walking through ancient forests, where soft moss cushions your every step. Oak Moss in the “Ewe” candle adds a meditative quality, perfect for evenings when you want to unwind and relax.

Sea Salt: Fresh and Revitalizing
Finally, Herdy’s 'Ewe' fragrance wouldn’t be complete without a nod to Cumbria’s coastal beauty. While the area is famous for its lakes and mountains, its coastal edges and windswept shores add a refreshing contrast to its inland valleys. Sea salt brings a breath of fresh, salty air to the fragrance, a scent that’s both clean and invigorating.
Sea Salt is a scent that complements the grounded notes of juniper, cedarwood, and oak moss, adding a lighter, breezy quality that brings balance to the fragrance.
