About Us - The Hunter and Walker Story
A warm welcome to Hunter and Walker
Hey I'm Kate, the creator behind our unique range of artisan car fresheners and luxury wax melts.
At Hunter and Walker, we believe fragrance is more than just scent; it’s a statement. An expression of your style that restores calm to a space that is entirely yours, whether that’s your living room or the inside of your car.
Our reputation was built on luxury wax melts. Refined, plant-based, and designed to deliver sophisticated, layered fragrance that lasts. Alongside them, we’ve introduced our newest innovation: the Fragrance Halo® car perfume, created to bring that same quality and reliability to your drive.
The Story Behind Hunter and Walker
Nothing says 'welcome' like being greeted with a gorgeous fragrance as the front door opens. Hunter and Walker was born out of a passion for quality and the frustration of products that never lived up to their promise.
Before Hunter and Walker, I was often disappointed with shop-bought products that lacked longevity or smelled synthetic. That experience became my motivation to create fragrance that truly lasted. Starting with home fragrance, and now extending into car scent too.
My journey began in June 2021 when I attended a candle-making course at the renowned Old Bexley Soap and Candle Company run by the wonderful Paula. It was then that I discovered the art of combining wax and fragrance. A skill that is scientifically more complex than it appears. After months of testing and refining, I created my first wax melts that met the standards I’d set for the brand.
Our Mission and Core Values
At Hunter and Walker, we believe luxury fragrance should be both high-performance and accessible. Every product is rigorously tested to ensure it delivers depth, strength, and long-lasting scent.
Long-lasting, top-quality fragrance sits at the heart of everything we do — from our wax melts to our Fragrance Halo® car perfumes.
Product Testing for Long-Lasting Scent and Strength
Our testing process is detailed and deliberate. For wax melts, we experiment with different strengths because maximum concentration is not always best with oils developed by fragrance specialists. Each fragrance is tested across multiple wax warmers and multiple times to ensure it performs as intended in real homes.
- The hot throw: How far the scent travels from the warmer.
- Longevity: How many hours of fragrance each melt provides.
- Consistency: How the fragrance holds up over time.
- Customer feedback: Real homes testing samples before launch.
Only the fragrances that excel across all measures make it into production.

Sustainability Practices
Hunter and Walker is committed to sustainability with ethical and responsible sourcing of raw materials.
Our coconut and rapeseed wax blend is certified organic by the Soil Association and Ecocert, vegan-friendly, Kosher, Halal, GMO-free, phthalates-free, and paraben-free.
Our wax melts are cruelty-free and packaged using recyclable glassine bags, with mica powders that are ethically sourced or man-made.
The Fragrance Halo® car perfumes are made using Halo Pearls® from a factory that utilises bio-circular balanced and renewable energy manufacturing processes. Each one is sealed in compostable, plant-based wrappers to keep fragrance fresh without waste.
Our Products
The Fragrance Halo®
The Fragrance Halo® is designed to change the way you think about car fragrance. Using highly absorbent Halo Pearls®, it locks in up to 30% of its weight in fragrance, delivering over eight weeks of long-lasting scent.
The dry-touch design eliminates the risk of messy oil leaks, and the adjustable cord keeps it secure and distraction-free while driving. It’s a refined fragrance you can trust, wherever the road takes you.
Luxury Wax Melts
Our wax melts remain at the heart of Hunter and Walker. Using sustainable coconut and rapeseed wax, each one features our signature mica powder designs, botanicals, and crystals applied entirely by hand. Every melt is tested for complex, sophisticated fragrance that lasts.
