A little play on words, candle and my name (Alia), Candalia has always been a dream of mine. Inspired by my love of travel, fragrance and design, the idea came into fruition in 2019 when I was on holiday in Dubai. I already had the vision of the brand logo and the simple, timeless aesthetic of the product and dreamt that I could create scents with the highest degree of luxury and 100% natural wax.
Even before Candalia, I was always very particular with fragrances. I tend to lean towards fragrances from brands that are not well known. A scent that is different and exciting is a scent that will be well-remembered.
I was inspired by the idea of using scents to create memories. Imagine choosing a specific perfume to take with you on holiday and wearing it every day. You are linking the memories and emotions of those days with the fragrance. There is nothing better than putting it on weeks after you return home and having all of those fond memories come rushing back.
I have always appreciated beauty, wellness and have a true passion for home décor, interiors, design and fashion. I aspired to create a home fragrance collection complimenting a room exuding luxury and style. I wanted everything to be unique so each fragrance has a distinctive composition, a mix of flowery, fruity and earthy tones. Alongside this, I wanted the fragrances to represent a sophisticated and effortless lifestyle. Each scent tells a story that I hold dear to my heart and it’s been a dream come true to see this come to life.
We have spent a long time perfecting the packaging, quality of fragrance and materials to create a top of the line product. The importance of quality and attention to detail is key in the Candalia team. Every day we work on how to improve what we offer customers and we are always attentive to changes in our environment so we stay current.
It truly is a blessing to be able to share what I love with the world. We appreciate each and every team member, customer, advisor who has helped bring this to life.
