So Indian, so beautiful

Gopal Gupta

Perfect gift for NRI friends. Shipped one to my brother in Toronto and he almost cried.

Petrichor in a candle

Trisha Joshi

As a Bangalore girl who grew up in a bungalow with a garden, this hits different. Every time I light it, I'm 8 years old again.

Prerna Singh

This is the smell of first rain on dry earth — I didn't think anyone in India was making this properly. Flickermelt nailed it.

Absolutely nostalgic

Vidya Bajaj

Bought three — one for me, one for my mom, one for my mother-in-law. All three loved it. Very Indian, very well done.

Unique, earthy, grounding. Not a scent for everyone but if you love mitti, this is unmatched.

Candle Care

Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. Let the wax pool reach the edge of the vessel on first use to prevent tunneling. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Keep away from drafts, children and pets.
