Let customers speak for us
My cousins and I came to do the candlemaking workshop in November and we loved it! I made a candle and a diffuser while I was there and I’m in love with both scents. It was so fun to be able to name our creations and have personalised labels printed on them - definitely a great idea for gifts or just a fun day out:)
Great perfume and excellent price point. lots of gorgeous things in this shop.
Such a good candle to light at the end of a busy day or when you need a moment of calmness! Haya never misses!
I'm very happy with my orange candle I bought from Masala boutique as I love the fresh citrus scent.
And it was made exclusively by Masala boutique.
Another one of my favourite scents to order - Dhoop is the perfect tropical scented candle that reminds me of home (my grandma’s mango farms in the Philippines).
I have been obsessed with mango my whole life since I was a baby and this candle just fit right into my bedroom - sits right next to a childhood photo of mine. This isn’t just about a good smelling candle but about purchasing something I can just tell from the packaging and everything that is created with such intention and love x Thank you Masala, wish you could’ve seen my eyes light up when I saw an ‘Aam’ candle!! No regrets !!
Great t shirt - love it. And with the authentic feel of a true bazaar the shopping experience in store was captivating. Beautiful people, with beautiful special items that capture you. We're definitely heading back for more shopping and to join a candle making workshop. Loved the whole vibe, thanks Wayne & Petra
Gulab jamun is my all time favourite scent from masala scents.
I had been wanting to buy this for a while & I am so pleased with this beautiful product.The packaging is lovely and the quality excellent.
I am burning it as I write this & the scent takes me back to special places & memories in time.
One of my favourite scents from day 1 - the candle scent, while sweet and floral isn’t overpowering, and is definitely a candle I enjoy lighting when I’ve had a stressful day.
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 had set a goal three weeks ago of having even just 1500 of our community members purchase just ONE candle or ONE workshop ticket for $20 from now until November 15, 2024. And from this… 1100 of our community members made it happen!
But there’s so much longer to go…our work does not stop here, this gifting season need you to make it that as many homes in Aotearoa get Masala in their home!
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 giftset, ONE candle or ONE workshop ticket. It’s that simple ✨
