Bonnie Glow: Scents of Scotland
Founder of Bonnie Glow: Scents of Scotland, Emily Streete is a small-batch producer of high-quality scented candles and wax melts inspired by Scottish culture, traditions and humour. Bonnie Glow represents authentic Scotland, not souvenir shop Scotland! Bonnie Glow is based in Edinburgh.
Living and working - as a singer, performer, podcaster and maker - in Edinburgh, Emily’s work is real and authentically Scottish: beautiful, charming, self-deprecating and often hilarious in its use of language.
Emily loves the planet and wants to treat it with the respect it deserves. All ingredients are sourced from Scotland, and the candles and wax melts use a natural, completely sustainable vegan wax blend made from rapeseed and coconut oil. Reusing or upcycling wherever possible, all candles are wrapped in upcycled materials and shipped in a recycled box.
Emily is a multi-disciplinary artist. She uses Scots in her practice, as she does in day-to-day life. Authenticity is important in her work, whether drawing on personal history to evoke nostalgia or creating bespoke products to support causes she believes in.
