Sir Elton John has once again partnered with renowned home fragrance expert Harry Slatkin to launch a new candle and reed diffuser collection, the Woodside Collection, inspired by the springtime ambiance of John’s English estate. The collection debuted exclusively on QVC on April 14, 2025.
A Fragrant Tribute to Woodside
The Woodside Collection features a selection of scents that evoke the essence of spring at John’s estate. One standout fragrance is Rhubarb Strawberry Crumble, a scent that made its debut in the holiday collection and has returned due to popular demand. John describes it as capturing the aroma of freshly harvested rhubarb and strawberries from the Woodside gardens, combined with honey and baked into a crust until hot and bubbly. “This candle smells exactly like a fresh one being pulled out of the oven, waiting to be enjoyed,” he says.

Other fragrances in the collection include:
-
Apple Mint Tea: A crisp yet sweet scent found in the Woodside Hamper trio.
-
English Moss: Featuring fresh eucalyptus and cedarwood with a green apple note for a tart aroma.
-
Spring Rain: A blend of fallen rain notes with lush honeysuckle, jasmine petals, and stems.
-
Sugared Pear & Vanilla: Topped off with sparkling orange and grounded with amberwood.
-
Windsor Festival: A melange of bergamot, florals including neroli and ylang-ylang, plus sandalwood.
Packaging Reflects Seasonal Elegance
The packaging of the Woodside Collection is as thoughtfully designed as the fragrances themselves. The candles are housed in glass vessels in beautiful spring hues and are embossed with a piano-key pattern, reflecting John’s musical legacy. The reed diffusers come in floral gift boxes, and a curated trio of candles is presented in a reusable wicker hamper, offering a quintessential English gift for any special occasion.
Elton John’s Involvement in the Creative Process
John’s involvement in the creation of the Woodside Collection was hands-on. He tested each scent at every stage, from oil to candle, ensuring that the fragrances met his standards. “My love for candles has always been rooted in their ability to transform a space and evoke emotion,” John says. “Working with Slatkin + Co, and my good friend Harry Slatkin, has been a true joy, and I’m thrilled to now introduce a new collection just in time for Spring.”
