Scent Story
Description
Tapping her heel gently to the fandango beat, her eyelids fall, trapping her in the soulful seduction of the music. As the guitar starts to resonate, her hands close on to the castanets, and suddenly she is lifted, pulsating to the beat of the music. A scarlet swirl wraps her legs as she picks up the rhythm, intoxicated by the azahar atmosphere of Seville. She belongs to no-one. Her hands twirl to the music as a free spirit; in a rhapsodic obsession, she gives her soul to the music. Her heartbeats to the stamping rhythm as her soul flow through the strings of the guitar. She is seductive poetry in motion, where no words are required for her eyes to unravel the secrets.
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 harboring in places that mark my life experiences. They encompass my life and the quintessence journey to my soul. It is this profound experience I want to share with you, through my fragrances.
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, and 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 fragrance and memory. Unlocking my memories through scent and inspiring you to create your special moments, trapping them in a candle and reliving them over and over again.

Benefits & Care
Our sense of smell (or olfaction) is our most primitive sense, and one of the most powerful senses. It is the strongest sense that is intricately linked to memory. The sense of smell is the most important trigger of memory. Our olfactory bulb is part of the brain’s limbic system, which is in the same parts of our brain that affect emotion, memory recall and creativity. Fragrance has the ability to influence our brain, power to change our moods, enhance feelings of wellbeing by triggering the body to relax, escape to a happy place, recall happy moments and elevate the spirits. Through olfactory & aromatherapy, we want to encourage mindfulness & meditative living, being intensely aware of your “now” and attend to your feelings in the present moment. Our candles give you the gift of time.
The first time you light your Ahloki candle, please burn until the wax melts to an even pool that surrounds the edges of the glass jar. This will help keep the top of the wax smooth, preventing an uneven burn. Keep the wick trimmed to a quarter of an inch before each burn, as this will help prevent any smoking and will keep any residue from dropping into the wax. Do not burn your candle for more than four hours at a time.
Never leave a lit candle unattended. Keep your candle out of the reach of children and animals. Keep candle away from draught. Always keep your candle away from anything that could be a fire hazard. Always trim the wick or clean the wax once the candle has gone cold. Keep lit candles at least 3 inches apart and place them on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Do not move a burning candle. Always store the candle in an upright position away from direct sunlight or heat.
Being a family-run business, we benefit from uncompromised quality and immaculate attention to detail.

Really uplifting fragrance, strong and subtle at the same time. The packaging was very thoughtful, would definitely buy again, not only for myself but as gifts too! So many to choose from…

This candle made the room smell so nice, but the aroma is very subtle and not irritating like most candles. The bay laurel is quite dominant, and it is not a very citrusy candle.
