Exhibitor Press Releases

Following its sell-out debut last Christmas, La Bougie are bringing back Fir Baby! for the festive season. Launching 1st November, this much-loved candle is ready to transport you back to the charm of Christmases past – but it won’t be around for long, so don’t miss out.

As the air outside turns cold and frosty, the comforting scents of fir resin, musk, and currants are the perfect combination to fill the room. Fir Baby! captures all of this in one exquisite fragrance, making it the ideal gift to delight friends and family, or as a finishing touch in the home once the Christmas decorations have gone up this festive season.

Fir Baby! is not just a candle, it’s a seasonal indulgence that blends the timeless notes of Christmas into one captivating and alluring fragrance. Familiar, yet intriguingly different, the candle returns in its signature limited-edition burgundy jar to spark that festive magic once more.

The story of La Bougie began in 2012, when Lucy Hagerty, after a remarkable career as a Royal Chef, embarked on a new journey to craft the perfect candle. Believing deeply in the intimate connection between taste and smell, Lucy spent seven years mastering the art of perfumery where her passion blossomed into the proud launch of La Bougie.

Now La Bougie is the crown jewel of Irish fragrance and candle-making, renowned by connoisseurs and perfume aficionados alike. Their dedication to creating only the finest quality candles, diffusers, and eau de parfum has earned them a revered place on the shelves of luxury stores like Brown Thomas, Avoca, and Kilkenny Design. Their iconic Mission Fig scent, a favourite of the legendary Adare Manor, is a bestseller - flying off shelves across Ireland.

Every La Bougie fragrance is created entirely in their West Cork perfumery, using prized aromatics and botanical oils from around the world; setting their artisanal method apart from the mass production of high street brands.

Some of La Bougie’s signature scents include:

• Mission Fig – Parched Earth, Fig Leaves, Blond Wood
• Honeysuckle & Sea Salt - Seagrass, Honeysuckle, White Musk
• Pomelo 1830 – Gin, Grapefruit, Coriander
• Tuscan Bergamot – Bergamot, Sage, Lavender
• Desert Rose – Rose Maroc, Teak, Oud
• Sage & Bitter Orange – Geranium, Juniper, Orange

With an already devoted following in Ireland and the US, and the opening of their luxurious boutique in Lymington in 2022, La Bougie is making significant steps in their expansion into the UK. Visit La Bougie in-store, or shop online at www.labougie.co.uk,
