Let customers speak for us
Such an authentic beautiful piece and the masala chai candle smell is beautiful, really adds to the authenticity and the aesthetic of the candle. Very unique!
Work shop was so much fun. Easy to do and enjoyed making my very own scent. Super reasonably priced compared to.other workshops around. Would highly recommend
Attending paint and chai classes has been quite therapeutic. I've always stayed from any kind of art and craft, but attending Naeema's classes, her teaching technique,choice of colours and explaining step by step method of colour mixing and brush stroke has given me lots of confidence.
Am happy that I found this classes and something to look forwards to.
Receive so many beautiful comments when I wear this bag. Makes me feel like a queen. Quality, design, absolutely stunning
The material is absolutely amazing! Buttery soft jersey, cool to the touch, and perfect length.
A beautiful and lively scent that just warms up the room you’re in. It’s not overbearing and the perfect touch to lift up your spirits.
We got a few different scents as gifts but after "smell-testing" all of them, decided to keep Cutting Chai for ourselves. The others were all amazing too – particular shoutouts to Laung Laachi and Gulab Jamun – but Cutting Chai was our personal favourite.
If you're not a fan of overpowering artificial scents, you'll appreciate the natural subtlety of this candle. It's not the kind of chemical-filled candle that makes you feel nauseous. It evokes pleasant memories (or imaginings) of a chai wallah passing you along the corridor of a train – or of a street you once walked down, many years ago, in Karachi or Kolkata.
I love these candles!!! Theyre not too strong & it has a very pleasant smell!
My mother really enjoyed this gift, thank you for bringing a piece of home to her.
Jalebi and Barfi are my top 2 candle choices from Masala Scents, they smell delish!!
Ever since i bought a masala scent candle for the first time my glasshouse candles have been collecting dust! Dhoop makes my house smell all warm and cosy and the scent lasts so long!
After checking this product online decided to venture in and grab me a bottle, met all expectations and more…
Lets Get Masala to 2025
Just like any other business in New Zealand - we are not immune to the economy and times are tough. The way things are looking - it would not be sustainable for us to continue to be a store in 2025 without a massive push!
To make ourselves sustainable to stick around for another few years we have set a goal of having even just 1500 of our followers and members of our community purchase just ONE candle or ONE workshop ticket for $20 from now until November 5, 2024. Even just 1500 of our community members purchasing ONE candle for $20 NOW will change our trajectory for the next year!
A win is a win - if you believe in our purpose and would love to see us stick around all you have to do today is buy ONE candle or ONE workshop ticket. It’s that simple ✨
