A Luxurious Blend of Australian Sandalwood & Cactus Flower

There is something unforgettable about arriving at Merilli1885 — the stillness, the soft light through the gums, the warmth of the stone cottage… and now, the gentle, luxurious scent that greets every guest the moment they step inside.

We are delighted to introduce the Merilli1885 Signature Scent Collection, created exclusively for our property in collaboration with the talented Middleton Farmhouse Candles. Thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented, our bespoke soy wax candles and reed diffusers now infuse the cottage with a fragrance that feels both grounding and indulgent.

A Scent Inspired by Place

We wanted a fragrance that captured the essence of Merilli1885 — nature-forward, elegant, unmistakably Australian, and quietly luxurious.
The result is a carefully balanced blend of:

• Australian Sandalwood – warm, creamy, calming and deeply earthy

• Cactus Flower – fresh, modern, subtly sweet and beautifully uplifting

Together, they create a scent that feels like stepping into soft sunlight after rain: clean, warm, comforting and refined.

It’s a fragrance that invites guests to exhale, settle in, and embrace the slow, unhurried rhythm of the farm.

Crafted Locally, Made With Care

Our signature scent candles and diffusers are handcrafted just minutes away by Middleton Farmhouse Candles, using:

• Premium natural soy wax

• High-quality fragrance oils

• Cotton wicks

• Beautiful, minimal packaging designed to suit any home

Every piece in this collection reflects our commitment to supporting local makers and choosing quality at every touchpoint of the guest experience.
