The story behind FieldDay
FROM THE FIELDS OF COUNTY DOWN




FieldDay
The idea for FieldDay was born in 2002 when founder Alix Mulholland was inspired to capture and bottle the scents of her local Irish countryside in rural County Down. Alix meticulously studied fragrance combinations and set up on her mum’s kitchen table armed only with a selection of soap moulds, oils, fragrances and wax. Then named Bog Standard, the business really took off when Alix exhibited at Showcase in Dublin’s RDS Arena later that year.
Alix rebranded to FieldDay Ireland in April 2017. The name pays homage to the brand’s Irish roots and the rolling green fields and overgrown lanes surrounding its converted mushroom factory near Saintfield, County Down. The new brand name also tied in nicely with the launch of Field Apothecary, FieldDay’s design-led range of six essential oil-based, luxury soy wax candles. From the very onset, there's been more to FieldDay than just vegan candles and fragrances. That's why it teamed up with Ulster Wildlife to support local wildlife conservation efforts.
In 2022 FieldDay celebrated its 20th birthday. Alix is very proud to have achieved such a milestone, weathering many a storm during the years. Kim and Marie, its longest serving employees have been helping out for more than 15 years now and they're guaranteed to bring a laugh wherever they go! FieldDay certainly wouldn't be where it is today without the two of them!
As soon as I came across the FieldDay range and met Alix, I knew it would be perfect for our customers. Not only do the beautiful scents and product names transport you straight into the countryside, the packaging is so pretty it makes a lovely gift. I particularly love the Wildflower incense sticks - a lovely modern take on this traditional method of fragrancing a room.

Always loved these bags and now have found one which is kind to the earth and looks so cheery and can be taken anywhere with all the goodies or everyday essentials if you're not using for groceries etc.
Very happy with my purchase, nice quality and colour. Perfect size
I ordered 2 green-bamboo and 2 white-bamboo toothbrushes as I was looking for completely plastic free toothbrushes. They came packaged in lovely thin cardboard slips and the toothbrushes themselves look and feel amazing. I’m a big fan and will be reordering!
GreenTulip is like shopping at your local independent shop on the high street. I like the choice of gift ideas and the pick of natural products.
I found the present I was looking for, which was quite exclusive and hard to find from Ampersand Fragrances that it's only stocked in specific shops. Delivery was really quick too. I would definitely recommend!
