“I've always loved candles - the way they look, and how they burn and smell. But with a young and growing family, sadly my days of regularly buying expensive luxury brands were coming to an end.
I tried cheaper candles, but they looked awful, burned poorly, and just never smelt quite right. Even with the bargain price tag I was always disappointed.

So I resolved to learn how to make candles myself, bought some wax, and years of experimentation started.
Of course not every attempt was successful but it felt magical - like alchemy - and I was hooked!

Soon, friends and family were begging me to make candles and oils for their homes, and Candaroma was born. We have grown to supply small local shops and businesses and now sell online too.

Our range is built on my 25yrs experience of using herbs, essential oils and remedies.
Being a Reflexologist, trained in Aromatherapy & herbs, who worked for over a decade with a well-known London natural remedies company based in Neal's Yard - well, I just know what works and what is good for you!

We have chosen the perfect combination of essential oils and fragrances from extensive testing - Moroccan rose oil is very different to Bulgarian rose oil for example, and cedarwood from the Himalayas differs from that produced in Virginia USA. On the quest for perfection the combinations are endless, and that’s what makes it so enjoyable.

Our blends are not only designed to smell great, we also douse the energy of the oils to find those that work best together, and create layers that inspire well being.

The range now includes bath and body oils along with diffusers and sprays, and we add new scents each seasonal to keep the range fresh and exciting.

My products really will make you feel calm or uplifted, balanced or focused, whatever you need.

We're Candaroma, and we believe wellbeing is a necessity, not a luxury!”
