Our Process

Our Process

Everything we make at Bouclé is developed, blended, and poured by us in our studios in Kemptown, Brighton and East London.

Working in small batches allows us to stay close to every stage of the process - from initial scent development through to pouring, finishing, and packing each product by hand.

Ingredients & Materials

From the beginning, we have prioritised natural, high-quality ingredients. Our scents are blended entirely from 100% pure essential oils, chosen not only for how they smell, but for how they feel to live with.

We use plant-based waxes and carefully selected oils, alongside packaging designed to be as low-impact and long-lasting as possible - favouring reusable glass and considered materials over disposable alternatives.

Scent Development

Each blend begins with experimentation.

We spend time working with individual essential oils, building and adjusting combinations until they feel balanced, grounding and complete. The aim is to create 100% natural scents that sit comfortably within a space - something you can return to every day.

This process is ongoing, with new blends developing slowly alongside our core range.

Small Batch Production

Every product is hand-poured in small quantities.

This slower approach allows for consistency and care, while also giving us the flexibility to refine and improve as we go. It’s a process we’ve kept intentionally - even as Bouclé has grown - as it remains central to how we work.

A Small Team

We are still a team of two, and every part of Bouclé is handled by us - from product design and scent blending to production, packaging, and everything behind the scenes.

Keeping things small allows us to stay closely connected to what we make, and to maintain the level of detail and care that defines our products.

A Slower Approach

At its core, our process is about working slowly and with intention.

There is a rhythm to making by hand - repetitive, methodical, and quietly absorbing. It’s something we continue to value, and a pace we try to carry through everything we do.
