A small Nottingham Craft Maker and Seller within us.

Hello and welcome to Hell’s Smells Scents! My name is Helen Powell and I am the proud owner and creator behind this small business. I specialize in handmade soaps that are designed with love and care, many of which are inspired by the LGBTQ community. I am a self-employed creative crafter and small business manager with a passion for creating handmade soaps, Candles, and skin care products that are both beautiful and good for your skin. With a supportive husband, 4 kids (2 children, and two stepchildren) and a grandchild, I am inspired by the love and joy they bring to my life and I channel this into each soap I make. I hope my soaps bring a touch of luxury and happiness to your daily routine.

At Hell’s Smells Scents, we are passionate about bringing our handcrafted soaps to the local community. That’s why we regularly attend makers and craft markets, where we can showcase our products and meet our customers in person. Whether you’re a longtime fan of our soaps or just discovering us for the first time, we invite you to come to visit us at one of our market events. You’ll be able to sample our scents, learn more about our ingredients and process, and take home a bar (or two!) of our luxurious soaps. We love connecting with our customers and sharing our passion for all-natural, inclusive products. We hope to see you soon!

“I wasn’t really familiar with the LGBTQ community when I first stumbled upon Hell’s Smells Scents, but I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful scents and the quality of the soaps. I ended up buying a few bars as a gift for my wife and she loves them! She raves about the luxurious feel and the wonderful scents. I have to admit, I’m a convert too – these soaps make for a great addition to my shower routine. Who knew soap could be so enjoyable?”
