Welcome to Glorious
Socially-Conscious Scents
I’m Gloria – the name behind Glorious Scents. It’s my mission to make gloriously scented products that are kind to you and kind to the world.
Glorious products reflect my personal ideals and I am proud of their quality and provenance. Based at my workshop on the bracing north-east coast of England, I source the best ingredients from as close to home as possible. They must be vegan-friendly, eco-friendly and never tested on animals. Each Glorious item is lovingly made and finished to my high standards, always with a glorious flourish!
I’ve been volunteering in the charitable sector for some time, and felt strongly that my business should not stop me from doing my bit for others. That’s why I decided to donate a portion of my proceeds to charity, making Glorious Scents truly ‘socially-conscious’. Read more about my chosen charity Gloria’s Good Causes.
My Story
Becoming GLORIOUS
It’s not been an easy path to get here. In later life I was diagnosed with Aspergers. I’d previously embarked upon my own business but found that juggling it with family life and my work for a homelessness charity was a real struggle. However, following my diagnosis my friend Malcolm from Autism in Mind put me in touch with Spectrum Enterprises CIC. Spectrum Managing Director, Pam Lawrence, encouraged me to apply for government support for my business and provided me with a mentor to help. Spectrum has also given me access to a network of talented, creative people – all with autism – who help each other to be successful in work. With my mentor by my side and my circle of fellow entrepreneurs I’ve now got the confidence to pursue my dream and turn my ideas into reality.
I hope you love my products and can see the hard work and care that has gone into making them, and I hope they make you feel a little more GLORIOUS.
