Now Hosting At Two Locations! 

Looking for a workshop space that also caters for your intimate event? We can host up to 8 people at our second workshop room  at 5/333 Parnell Road (behind chocolate boutique) OR simply pick the booking time that is being held at our boutique location 💛 

The Perfect Gift! 

Our workshops make the perfect gift - and you can purchase a gift voucher for it that will be emailed to you 🤍 share the love this season with gifting an experience!

How Does It Work?

Our allocated time slots allow for us to allow the good times to flow, the duration of the candlemaking process does come down to how decisive the group we have is. The total time to make a candle normally goes up to one hour and we allow you to take the remaining hour to catch up, grab a bite to eat or drink nearby and come back to collect your candle when its ready after one hour! We recommend visiting Juice Up or Cha Bliss for a quick drink or dessert as you wait for your candle to be ready!

Want To Book Earlier or Later On A Date?

I’m sure we can make it happen! We have our very own workshop room and a team ready to host. If the timing we have allocated doesn’t quite work just get in touch and we will make your event happen for you at your time.  (A lot of team building events happen during lunch or after work which we totally get and can accomodate for, we’re just a phone call or email away.)

Can I Make More Than One Candle?

Yes you can! The cost of making another candle is $20.00 per person, simply let us know when you book if you would like to make two candles (or more!) and we will accomodate and invoice you separately.

I Don’t Know How Many Tickets Are Left For The Date I Want!!

We know it can be difficult to book for a group event, especially when the dates don’t align. If you are not sure if we will be able to accomodate your whole group on the date slot available the best thing to do is ‘Book A Date Of Your Own Choice’ from their we will ensure a smooth sailing process to lock your group in for the time of your choice, and if we can’t meet the time - we will do a full refund.

Have Us For Your Next Event!

We also offer our candlemaking workshop for Corporate or Private events at your location. Please get in touch with us if you would like to do candlemaking workshop at a date and location of your choice. 

We can accomodate your booking at your location (even up to 40 people!) outside of this time. The workshops can be held anytime between 10.00 am - 9.00 pm, please advise us your preferred time within 24 hours of your booking.

Workshop

We loved the setting and the decorations ! It was very cosy and intimate. We do feel that the workshop felt a bit rushed, with the host maybe having other commitments? We would have loved the science of the candle making to be incorporated into the workshop in the stages, and for a bit of information on what flavours compliment each other ! We hope your business thrives in the future, all the best for 2025 ❤️

Hey Isabelle!

Thankyou so much for your feedback and the lovely workshop. I do apologise again for if you felt rushed - that is not the experience we want for our attendees and we have definitely taken notes from our double handling yesterday to prevent such a situation in the future where the host has to juggle the store and the offsite 5/333 Parnell Road location so that both parties get the best experience.

I hope you're enjoying your warm and cozy candle and we look forward to seeing you in the future for the ginger scent that you also loved!

Fun workshop

The workshop is fun and easy to follow. Recommended, however it will be useful to also educate us about which scent combination works best, although leaving room to experiment is also great. Overall a really fun way to spend your time

Hi Tika! Thankyou so much for your feedback and glad you had a good time, we have had feedback requesting more support in scent combinations and while our approach has been to not limit you to any scent combinations and allow our attendees to create what ever they would like based off their vision, we understand that more structured guidance can be needed and we will be incorporating guidance sheets in our future workshops! We look forward to seeing you again to experience this!

Lovely

This was such a lovely workshop! My family and I loved it. There's something magical about using our sense of smell to create something new and personal. The workshop space is cozy and right next to lots of cafes and restaurants. Simra was a really lovely host too. For the same/lower price as commercially made candles I'd absolutely come back just to make another one of my own!

Hi Maria - Thankyou so much for your lovely words. Simra is such a talented host and we are so glad that she was able to create this magical experience for you!

Haya - Masala Scents

We are a WOC Owned South Asian Candle brand based in New Zealand.
South Asian culture is aromatic, rich in flavor and sophisticated in taste, we celebrate all of this in our little jars of masala.

Scent is the sense most closely linked to memory, that's why each one of our scent compositions has a story to tell. Scorching hot days filled with dhoop in the aangan of our home with cutting chai.

It is culture filled with memories that flows from the comfort of a candle.

Our products are all hand poured with pyaar in our Auckland home but true to our South Asian roots.

We bring the warmth of our home, our people & our pyaar (love) to your home
