Bringing A Fresh Scent To Belfast City Centre

Northern Ireland-based home fragrance brand, Olivia’s Haven, has announced the opening of a store in Belfast City Centre, just in time for the festive period. 

Located on Belfast’s bustling Ann Street, the 1,000 sq ft. store will make Christmas gifting easy with pre-wrapped gift sets perfect for a last-minute present, as well as festive wax burners and the brand’s entire range of sustainable candles, diffusers, wax melts and room sprays, inspired by founder Olivia’s life experiences. It will become the largest showcase of the brand’s products, with customers even having the opportunity to shop a brand-new exclusive scent. 

The launch of the store marks a major milestone for the brand which has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2020. Recent business growth has created 12 new jobs this year, bringing the current team to 20 people across retail, production and e-commerce. Two existing team members have also earned promotion to more senior roles to support the expansion. 

Founder Olivia Burns; “We are delighted to be launching in the city centre in time for the busy festive period. This is a huge milestone for us as a business and we couldn’t ask for a better location at this time of year.  

Since launching on TikTok Shop we have been able to reach a brand-new audience and the excitement and buzz this has created around the new store has been fantastic. Whether a customer is discovering Olivia’s Haven for the first time or has been purchasing from us for five years, we look forward to welcoming them in to this store to discover their new favourite scent.” 

Olivia’s Haven will benefit from the temporary location on Ann Street courtesy of building owner, Beannchor Group, before relocating to a permanent location in the City Centre in Spring 2026. 

It is the company’s third bricks-and-mortar retail location following the success of their Belmont Road and Coleraine stores. The range of sustainable home fragrance products is also available via the brand’s website and on TikTok shop.

Olivia’s Haven was founded by Olivia Burns in 2020 after she took voluntary redundancy from her role at a local medical technology company due to the pandemic. The brand was a hit during lockdown as people sought to create comfort at home using Olivia’s products. The brand has continued to generate strong sales in the ROI, UK and US markets in addition to a loyal customer base across Northern Ireland. 

The Olivia’s Haven collection offers over 30 signature fragrances all inspired by Olivia’s memories and life experiences – one of the most recent additions, The Nursery, was created for her own daughter’s arrival – and products including soy wax candles, reed diffusers, room sprays and wax melts. Their products are all designed and handmade by the company in Northern Ireland and come with eco-friendly packaging. 

You can now visit an Olivia’s Haven store in Ann Street (Belfast City Centre), Belmont Rd (East Belfast) and Coleraine, or shop the collection via their website.
