What began in a Spartanburg kitchen with a harvest gold Sunbeam Mixmaster has grown into something truly special. For five decades, we've been filling homes with beautiful fragrance and heartfelt purpose. As we celebrate Greenleaf’s 50th anniversary in 2025, we’re reflecting on the journey that brought us here and looking ahead with joy and gratitude.

From Greenhouse to Your House
In 1975, our founders Bob and Sylvia Caldwell were running a seasonal greenhouse business in South Carolina. Seeking a way to create stability year-round, they tried something new: handcrafting scented envelope sachets right at home using Sylvia’s harvest gold Sunbeam mixmaster. That first sachet sparked more than a product. It sparked a legacy.

A Family Tradition
Fifty years later, Greenleaf is still family-owned and proudly operated by second and third generations. The values that shaped our start still guide us today—creating with care, giving generously, and always putting heart into everything we do. Our team is part of that family too. The passionate hands and hearts behind every candle, sachet, and diffuser are the reason our products feel so special and why they’re welcomed into homes across the country.

Scents That Tell a Story
From the cozy embrace of Cashmere Kiss to the clean calm of Classic Linen and the joyful glow of Orange & Honey, every Greenleaf fragrance is designed to make a space feel like home. Holiday scents like Merry Memories and Silver Spruce bring warmth to seasonal traditions year after year.

Giving Back Through Greenleaf Cares
We believe fragrance can do more than make life smell better. It can help make the world better too. That’s why 3% of every Greenleaf purchase supports organizations working to end human trafficking. When you shop with us, you’re part of that mission.

The Story Continues
We’re endlessly thankful for the customers, partners, and team members who’ve made this journey possible. And as we look to the next 50 years, we’re more inspired than ever to keep creating products that uplift, comfort, and bring beauty into everyday life.

At Greenleaf, every fragrance tells a story, and for our Hydrangea collection, that story was brought to life in one of our favorite places: Charleston, South Carolina.

Watch our behind the scenes reel here! -> 

Known for its cobblestone streets, pastel-painted homes, and blooming gardens around every corner, Charleston was the perfect backdrop for a fragrance inspired by classic Southern charm and timeless beauty.

A Day Steeped in Southern Charm

On a beautiful Monday morning, our creative team packed up our favorite Greenleaf treasures and set off to a historic home in downtown Charleston. With its wraparound porch and elegant, lived-in feel, it perfectly echoed the soft, floral notes of our Hydrangea fragrance.

From styled breakfast nooks to airy living rooms washed in natural light, every scene was designed to feel warm, welcoming, and effortlessly beautiful, just like the homes our Hydrangea collection is meant to brighten! 

Fragrance Meets Lifestyle

Throughout the week, we captured the delicate touches that make a house feel like home: a vase of freshly cut blooms, a stack of well-loved books, a Flower Diffuser catching the sunlight. By pairing our Signature Candles, Flower Diffusers, and Room Sprays with real-life moments at home, we wanted to show how this fragrance can transport you to a breezy, flower-filled Charleston morning — no matter where you are.

Why Charleston

Charleston holds a special place in our hearts. It’s a city where hospitality isn’t just a tradition; it’s a way of life. It’s where every porch tells a story, and every corner is an invitation to slow down and savor the moment. 

Bringing It Home to You

We hope when you see the photos from this photoshoot, you feel a little more connected to the charm of the South and inspired to create your own moments of beauty at home. Whether you’re lighting a candle during a quiet morning or gifting a Flower Diffuser to a friend, our Hydrangea fragrance is a gentle reminder to enjoy the little things and surround yourself with what feels like home!

A fresh take on classic charm.

If you love ruffled curtains, floral wallpaper, and heirloom china—but also appreciate a modern twist—then you’re already speaking the language of Grandmillennial style. Sometimes lovingly called “granny chic,” this trend celebrates the cozy, collected look of traditional design while embracing fresh colors, updated silhouettes, and a little bit of whimsy.

So, What Exactly Is Grandmillennial Style?

It’s a blend of old and new. Grandmillennial style nods to the past with vintage-inspired prints, antique furniture, and decorative details—but it’s far from stuffy. Think:

• Botanical patterns and florals

• Skirted furniture and monograms

• Rattan, embroidery, and chinoiserie

• Soft pastels, saturated jewel tones, and layered textures

It’s about creating a space that feels personal, inviting, and just a little nostalgic—in the best way.

Why Greenleaf Fits Right In

Greenleaf fragrances don’t just smell beautiful—they look the part, too. Whether you're styling a guest room, entryway, or linen closet, our products bring an effortless charm that complements Grandmillennial decor from every angle.

🌸 Flower Diffusers

With their blooming sola paper flowers and decorative glass vessels, our Flower Diffusers feel right at home among vintage vases and patterned trays. They’re both fragrant and ornamental—perfect for a vanity, bookshelf, or powder room.

🌿 Sachets

Floral sachets tucked into a drawer, stacked in a basket, or tied with ribbon to a doorknob? A Grandmillennial dream. Our signature prints and soft-touch packaging add a hint of tradition with a fresh, curated edge.

🕯️ Candles

From classic cut-glass styles to elegant ceramic vessels, our candles add timeless warmth to layered spaces. Display them on silver trays or next to a stack of your favorite hardcover books.

Grandmillennial, Your Way

The beauty of this style is that there are no rules—only layers. It’s about mixing memory and mood, patterns and practicality. And whether you’re drawn to sweet florals or deeper, moodier scents, Greenleaf fragrances help bring your version of Grandmillennial to life.

Fragrance that blooms beautifully.

Our Flower Diffuser is a stylish, flameless way to enjoy your favorite Greenleaf fragrance. With its sola paper flower and decorative glass vessel, this diffuser does more than scent your space—it becomes part of it. Just open, place, and let it bloom.

How It Works

Each diffuser includes a fragrance-filled glass vessel and a handcrafted flower. As the flower absorbs the scented oil through its wick, it begins to “bloom,” releasing fragrance and transforming its petals over time. The result? A beautifully scented space—and a flower that looks as good as it smells.

Where to Place It

Enjoy long-lasting fragrance in:

• Bedrooms and bathrooms

• Entryways and living rooms

• Desks, vanities, and nightstands

• Guest spaces or gift baskets

Wherever it lands, the Flower Diffuser adds a soft, fragrant finish.

Tips for Best Results

• Place your diffuser on a coaster or tray to protect surfaces from any potential spills.

• Keep away from direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent the fragrance from evaporating too quickly.

• Avoid placing it in areas with high humidity or near open windows.

Each diffuser provides up to 60 days of fragrance, depending on your environment.

An Everyday Upgrade

Add one to your vanity or work-from-home setup. Style it on a tray in your guest room or bathroom. Gift it as part of a care package. Wherever it goes, the Flower Diffuser is a simple way to make your space feel a little more special—no plug or flame needed.
