Returning to Amalfi – The Story Behind Our Most Beloved Summer Scent
There’s something unforgettable about the Amalfi Coast. The soft golden light at dusk. The breeze carrying the scent of citrus groves. The timeless beauty of lemon trees clinging to cliffside villas above the sea. When we created Amalfi back in 2018, it wasn’t just a fragrance. It was an invitation to escape.
This scent was created as a tribute to the timeless beauty and elegance of the Amalfi Coast. At Owen Drew, we have always drawn inspiration from the places and moments that make life feel a little more special. With Amalfi, we set out to capture the essence of summer itself. Citrus groves in bloom, warm evening air, and the feeling of escape. It’s a fragrance designed not just to scent a room, but to transport you.
It quickly became a customer favourite. Described by YOU Magazine as “luscious, sweet and citrus” with “soft woody undertones,” Amalfi was ranked one of the best scented candles on the market, scoring higher than luxury icons like Tom Ford and Liberty.
But for us, Amalfi has always been about creating atmosphere. It’s a reminder of long summer evenings, the clink of glasses on a sun-dappled terrace, the kind of beauty that asks nothing of you except to pause and enjoy it.
“When Amalfi was first launched, the reaction was incredible,” says Mike Skeggs, Founder and Creative Director. “People connected with it instantly. It felt like summer, like sunshine, like somewhere you’d rather be. Bringing it back with a new look feels really special.”
Now, Amalfi returns with a fresh new look, first revealed after our appearance on Dragons’ Den. It is available once again across our home fragrance range, including a beautifully presented gift set that offers the perfect way to experience this modern classic.
As always, each product is made with care, using the finest ingredients, and poured by hand here in the UK. We invite you to explore the collection and let the scent of summer linger just a little longer.
