ABOUT AHLOKI

Ahloki (n): This is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning brightness, lustrous, glimmer; Symbolically, it refers to the light in your soul. Ahloki embarks on a journey in search of the self. The story of who we really are is built up of our memories, experiences, and passions evoked when our senses are stimulated. Ahloki is created on the backbone that links Eco-friendly fragrances, transparency and memory.

“Light the Ahloki within yourself, and now that the flame is lit, it softens, and glows, Illuminate the voices in your soul, melting and braiding its way, a light shines through a new moment, defying darkness and defining your journey Etched in memory and forever locked in a scent. “

Unlocking memories through scent…

Ahloki candles take you through a personal olfactory journey. My fragrances are inspired by profound emotion and faraway travels. They combine distinction, minimalism and simplicity. Once lit up, Ahloki’s gentle aromas will whisk you to a happy place, surround you with a peaceful ambience, induce a warm and gentle charm. Each fragrance will share my journey with you, a piece of my memoir poured into each jar to produce a tranquil pièce de résistance, personally designed to captivate and take you on your very own journey of luxury, elegance and excellence.

From a small kitchen in Bristol, a journey of a proud homegrown began

A

hloki is a quintessential definition of British modern living. Born in England, it started as a small company that made handmade eco-friendly candles from a small kitchen on Church Farm Road, Bristol. The journey of a proud homegrown startup began…

WHERE IT BEGAN

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 harbouring in places that mark my life experiences. They encompass my life and the quintessence journey to my soul. Ahloki’s story began in the home’s most creative space: the kitchen. Combining a deep passion for fragrance with a desire for safe, natural, and toxin-free products, I hand-poured my first Ahloki candle made from natural plant wax, vegetable oil blends, herbal and botanical ingredients.

It is this profound experience I want to share with you through my fragrances. Like a key, each candle unlocks a story and bring it to the present. Someone once told me, the soul can speak through our senses. 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. 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 Eco-friendly fragrances, transparency and memory. Our team is a small team, with my son standing guard as Chief happiness officer. Pouring tons of joy into each candle through its journey of formulating, hand pouring, curing, sealing and packaging.

Each Ahloki candle is like a personal letter to you, in this case, not written on paper, but infused in wax and sealed with love. My candles entrap tales of exotic cultures, fond moments and wanderlust. By unlocking my memories through scent and I want to inspire you to create your special moments, trapping them in a candle and reliving them over and over again.

Scented candles can help you work more effectively. Green, crisp and sharp notes like galbanum, violet leaf, mint or lavender can inspire creativity. Eucalyptus, grapefruit, neroli or lemongrass can help stimulate the brain and improve energy. Uplifting scents like clary sage, orange citrus, lime, bergamot, rosemary can help you stay alert, focused & productive, and gentler smell like jasmine, matthiola or rose can help calm nerves, improve mental clarity and uplift moods. Surround yourself with aromas that make you feel positive. #aromatherapy #wellbeing #wellness #homefragrances #positivemindset #naturalcandles

Just like music, in fragrance, elements of what make up a scent come together to make a beautiful symphony. Notes are essentially the different scents that come together to create layers that make up the final candle fragrance. They are split into three tiers; Top, Heart, and Base notes.

Did you know over time, fruits have evolved to spread their seeds by attracting animals with their beautiful scents. The scent of fruits tell animals when a fruit is ripe, thereby helping the plant reproduce, as it's seeds are moved from one place to another. No wonder apples and pears are part of the smell-alluring rose family (Rosaceae). They have that amazing fresh green, delicate crispiness, sharp clean notes I absolutely love. And are by far my favourite fruit scents… What are your favourite fruit scents? 📸 credit to @jillwellingtonphotography_ ❤️ #alliseeispretty #freshness #freshmorning #freshscent #pears #applles #roses

Did you know you can make your very own solid perfume? Making your own body fragrances gives you the first degree of freedom and control on ingredient choices and scent profiles. They are perfect for people who are eco-conscious and prefer to use natural ingredients. Solid-state means less spillage and additional moisturising benefits. A simple recipe I use is: • 1 tbsp carrier oils (sweet almond, olive or jojoba oil) • 2 tbsp coconut, soy wax or carnauba oil. • 5 drops of vitamin E oil or shea / cocoa butter (optional) • 20-50 drops of your favourite essentials oil blends. Very slowly melt the wax. Add in carrier oil + vitamin E oil and gently mix, add in essential oils and take it off the heat. Do not leave it on the heat (heating causes the essential oils to evaporate). Pour in a container and let it set for few hours till it solidifies! Yes it’s that simple! 💖 #doityourself #naturalingredients #homemade #diycosmetic #makeitathome #organicskincare #fragrancelover #nontoxicproducts #nontoxicliving #ecoconscious #zerowastetravel #makeyourown #cleanbeautyrevolution #formulation

Have you thought of mixing up fragrances and creating a fragrance that is uniquely yours? Layering fragrances can be a lot of fun. Use fragrances that compliment each other, for example you can pair florals with other floral notes, fruity fragrances (like Ahloki’s Kioko or Zuri go well with citrus and woody notes (like Fyola or Sonadora). Gourmand fragrances like oaty-vanilla notes (Ahloki’s, Pralinette or Kamatura) blend very well with spicy or woody notes like Fahari. The trick is to start of with lighter fragrances and build up as you try layering with other candle scents. There is no right or wrong to the method! Layering is a natural science, each individual’s scent receptors are unique. So be creative and create a fragrance that is especially for you. #fragrancelayering #fragrancelover #createyouruniquestyle
