Get a ‘WIFF’ of this: The Compstall candle company adding some fun to fragrances
Launched by local couple Claire and Graeme Winchester, WIFF appeared in early 2016 as a response to a gap in the market - offering fresh new scents with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
Manchester candle brand WIFF is selling a selection of fragrances that’ll put a grin on your face this Christmas.
From ‘So Figgin Good’ to ‘It Musk Be Love’, this Compstall company specialises in fragrances and puns – offering what they call the “ultimate scent experience”.
Launched by local couple Claire and Graeme Winchester, WIFF appeared in early 2016 as a response to a gap in the market – offering fresh new scents with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
It has since been taken over by Darren Jackson and Allen Edwards, who are the brains behind the cleverly-crafted scents and punny product names.
With winter closing in, WIFF is also eager to embrace hygge, a Scandinavian concept that encompasses cosiness and enjoying the little things in life.

The brand is also paying homage to its Manchester roots with the ‘Honey Bunny’ wax melts set, which includes fragrances such as ‘Proper Buzzin’ and ‘Don’t Worry Bee Happy’.
An ‘Indie Anthems’ set is available, too – which nods to the iconic Stone Roses song ‘Fool’s Gold’ and other fragrances drawing inspiration from the city’s football culture and Cottonopolis.
There are many exciting launches on the horizon for this quirky and creative brand, including the mention of even more Christmas fragrances, as well as the first-ever WIFF advent calendar and a pampering range.
“At the moment we’re just set to launch our Christmas 2020 scents featuring Mistletoe, Mulled Wine, Berries and Roaring Fires,” say owners.
“We’re a little later than normal launching these as we’ve not been able to do our Christmas markets due to the pandemic and it seemed right to wait a little longer.”

A tattoo studio with a roster of VIP clients is heading to Manchester, as The London Social prepares to open The Manchester Social.
The world-renowned studio, which counts celebs like David Beckham, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice and Sam Smith as its clients, is opening its first site outside of the capital.
Set to open next week, The Manchester Social tattoo studio will span three floors and 2,200 sq ft on King Street.
They say this new tattoo parlour will be ‘serve Manchester’s elite’ and offer a convenient location for existing regulars, including Luke Shaw and Mason Mount.
The Manchester Social studio will offer the same bespoke tattoo experiences and world-class artistry it’s famous for, but with eight new artists, all from the Manchester city region.
The business is headed up by Miles Langford – named by The Times as one of the world’s most exclusive tattoo artists – and already has tattoo parlours in Fitzrovia, Soho and Angel in London.
It’s famed for fine-line specialty designs and will bring a luxury tattoo space to the historic King Street for the first time.
Miles Langford, founder of The London Social, said: “Opening our first location outside of London is a huge step in our business journey but Manchester seemed like the obvious choice.

“A key selling point for me was the building and its location. King Street is known for being the epicentre of luxury in Manchester so it was a no brainer for us to make the decision on where we would fit in best.
“An indescribable amount of hard work has gone into making this store one of our best yet, all whilst maintaining its Manchester foundations and we can’t wait for Manchester to get the experience that our London clients love so well.”
Holly Whitcomb, associate director at DTZ Investors, said: “We’re incredibly excited to welcome such an exclusive brand like The London Social to King Street.
“King Street is known for being the go-to place for luxury retail and leisure and addition of The Manchester Social will be help to diversify the offering on the street, aligning with our ambitions to be a go-to destination in Manchester City Centre.
“From its VIP feel, to star-studded clientele, we’re looking forward to seeing footfall soar on the street.”
