A Castle of Ghosts and Queens
Experience a castle “not of this world, but … a castle of ghosts, and Queens, reaching to the stars.” A collaboration with celebrated historian and author Gareth Russell, the KLEIO A Castle of Ghosts and Queens luxury candle offers an olfactive interpretation of the historic Glamis Castle in Scotland, the ancestral home of the Queen Mother.
SENSORY HISTORY AROMAS: Ancient Tapestries, Black Tea, and Aged Books
The Bowes-Lyon candle was created as a multisensory complement to Gareth Russell's best-selling book Do Let's Have Another Drink! The Dry Wit and Fizzy Life of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. This candle was listed previously as "Bowes-Lyon."

KLEIO relies on the incredible scholarship of historians—from ancient to present day—who have produced detailed texts, books, and first-hand accounts on sensory history.
When researching potential KLEIO concepts, we pore over scores of sources—and collaborate with experts—to ultimately create our interpretation of a select sensory moment in time.
KLEIO candles are phthalate free and dye free. Our fragrance oils are free of carcinogens, mutagens, and reproductive toxins. Each candle features a proprietary coconut apricot wax blend, fragrance oils sourced from perfumeries throughout the world, and high-quality cotton wicks designed to provide an optimal burn. We use a high fragrance-to-wax ratio, resulting in a powerful aromatic experience.
As an artisanal company, our candles are hand finished, featuring hand-applied gold and silver leaf and a robust, heavy-base glass vessel. Each vessel is truly one of a kind—no two are alike.
KLEIO is committed to being an eco-conscious company. While we are past-obsessed, we do so with thoughtful consideration of the future. We believe that beauty and elegance should be in harmony with environmental sustainability. Learn more about how we achieve this.
