Our Story

At We Were Soldiers Creations, we believe in the power of transformation - whether it’s freshening up your home, crafting something beautiful from nature, or turning life’s challenges into something positive.

Our journey began in 2017 with We Were Soldiers Cleaning Company, a unique approach to deep cleaning. But when COVID-19 hit in 2020, everything changed. Unable to visit homes, we had to adapt. Instead of cleaning, we created a candle that eliminated odours and left homes smelling fresh - just like the products we once used. Within 10 minutes, it could erase the strongest smells - fish, curry, pets, even stubborn odours like smoke or damp. Our customers loved them, and so a new venture was born.

Since then, we have perfected our Scentique Wax Melts, designed to neutralise odours fast while filling your home with a long lasting, clean, and refreshing scent. And as life took us to the coast, we found inspiration in nature, using driftwood and shells to create handcrafted, bespoke home décor that captures the beauty of the sea.

But We Were Soldiers Creations is more than just products. As an ex-military veteran (Royal Engineers), I faced my own battles with PTSD after leaving the forces due to injury. Anger, frustration, and struggle defined my early years. But through craftsmanship - wax melts, woodworking, and artisanal design - I found peace, purpose, and therapy. Now, every item we create is a reflection of that journey.... resilience, creativity, and transformation.

Whether you’re looking for a wax melt that freshens your home in minutes or a handmade driftwood piece full of natural character, you’re not just buying a product - you’re supporting a journey of healing, passion, and craftsmanship.

From the battlefield to the workshop, from struggle to strength..........This is We Were Soldiers Creations.
