WHERE IT BEGAN
Fragrance has a very profound power in my life. They conjure up nostalgic moments, moments of love and joy. Simple fragrances evoke a sublime association with my memories. Each Ahloki candle is formulated to rekindle aromas harbouring in places that mark my life experiences. They encompass my life and the quintessence journey to my soul. Ahloki’s story began in the home’s most creative space: the kitchen. Combining a deep passion for fragrance with a desire for safe, natural, and toxin-free products, I hand-poured my first Ahloki candle made from natural plant wax, vegetable oil blends, herbal and botanical ingredients.
It is this profound experience I want to share with you through my fragrances. Like a key, each candle unlocks a story and bring it to the present. Someone once told me, the soul can speak through our senses. My fragrances are in search of soulful meanings, trapped in our surroundings, they encircle the little moments that pass us by, but we take no heed. When you get a whiff of it again, you are transposed back to the exact moment that made you feel a deep sense of love, happiness, joy, pleasure, peace, tranquillity and calmness.
Ahloki was founded on the backbone of this link between Eco-friendly fragrances, transparency and memory. Our team is a small team, with my son standing guard as Chief happiness officer. Pouring tons of joy into each candle through its journey of formulating, hand pouring, curing, sealing and packaging.
Each Ahloki candle is like a personal letter to you, in this case, not written on paper, but infused in wax and sealed with love. My candles entrap tales of exotic cultures, fond moments and wanderlust. By unlocking my memories through scent and I want to inspire you to create your special moments, trapping them in a candle and reliving them over and over again.
