2015: The Spark: A latenight YouTube discovery of candle carving ignited an obsession. I’d always loved candles; now I wanted to master the art behind them.
2015: Immersion & Training: (Russia) Determined to learn from the best, I traveled to Yekaterinburg, Russia for an intensive 3week candlecarving course, handson, toolinhand, art in motion.
2015 2016: Practice, Experiment: Back home, I carved, recarved, tested wax blends, and refined technique for months. Every piece was a study in patience, heat, color, and form.
2016: First Boutique Opens: (Falah St., Abu Dhabi) With skill, courage, and a growing following, I opened my first shop. Workshops began; the community responded enthusiastically.
2017: Growth & Relocation: Demand outgrew space. Moving to Al Seef Village Mall allowed us to welcome more students, expand collections, and begin thinking beyond candles.
2018: Soap Mastery: (UK Training) To complement carved candles, I trained in the UK in luxury soap making, formulation, scenting, molding, and skinloving ingredients.
2019: Exposure: we were featured on Al Arabiya’s Morning TV Show; an incredible experience that gave us valuable exposure and the opportunity to share our passion with a wider audience.
2019- 2021: Expanded Collections: Our range grew: molded art candles, jar candles, taper candles, and handcrafted soaps, each a reflection of design, scent, and craft. From Gifts to Full Experiences.
