Our Story

Hello and welcome! We’re Akram and Nadia, the husband-and-wife team behind Scented Essences. Our story began not long after we tied the knot, with a whirlwind of university classes, full-time jobs, and life’s everyday hustle pressing in from every angle. We knew we needed a way to reconnect and create something special that was just for us. That’s when we stumbled upon candle-making, and what started as a simple, fun activity quickly turned into a shared passion. It was like finding our own little escape—a cozy, aromatic retreat where we could slow down, laugh, and make something beautiful together, away from all the busyness outside.

Before we knew it, this hobby became so much more. Candle-making was transforming into a way for us to share a piece of our journey with others. We poured our hearts into each scent, each layer of wax, dreaming up ways our candles could spread the same warmth, comfort, and joy that we felt while creating them. We imagined people lighting one of our candles after a long day, filling their space with an aroma that instantly transports them to a place of calm and happiness. It’s this dream that inspired us to turn our little world of candles into a full-fledged business, and Scented Essences was born.

Every candle we craft is made with a sense of wonder, adventure, and love. They’re not just candles—they’re pieces of our story, infused with the excitement of a new journey and the comfort of familiar, cozy moments. With each one, we hope to bring a touch of light, a spark of joy, and a cozy sense of belonging into your home. Our candles are here to make your space feel like a sanctuary, a place where you can unwind, feel uplifted, and find your own little slice of peace. So light one up, settle in, and let Scented Essences bring a bit of magic and warmth into your life, just like they have into ours!
