In our mission to preserve the ancestral art of glassblowing in Herat, Afghanistan, we imagined something luminous. Together with Dutch brand alora.amsterdam, we created a unique candle collection that blends Afghan craftsmanship with refined scents inspired by the sensory landscapes of Afghanistan.
Each glass vessel is hand-blown by the last master artisans of Herat, and filled with scents thoughtfully crafted by Alora to evoke memories from our travels across Afghanistan.
Through your purchase, 100% of the profits go directly into funding our programs that empower women through sustainable jobs and community-driven projects. Each candle carries a message of solidarity with the women we support throughout Afghanistan.
From Afghanistan to your home, may this candle offer you light, presence, and connection to the hands that made it. Available now in limited quantities.
Materials:Made using sustainably sourced natural rapeseed and coconut wax. Free from paraffin, synthetic additives, and GMOs
Province: Herat (Glassware) and Amsterdam (Filling)
An invigorating blend of sparkling citrus notes with base notes reminiscent of a sun-dappled forest. Mandarin and grapefruit awaken the senses, as woodsy notes of cedarwood, patchouli, and vetiver offer a grounding finish. This is a scent that balances energy with calm.
Poured into golden yellow vessels, hand-blown by master artisans in Herat, Afghanistan. Each glass is entirely unique.
Amber
This sophisticated scent opens with soft floral notes and a hint of spice, before deepening into smoky tobacco mixed with rose. A base of warm amber and sweet caramel make for a velvety, rich scent that is both comforting and a bit mysterious.
Housed in a lapis blue vessel, hand-blown by Afghan artisans using traditional techniques passed down for generations. No two glasses are exactly alike.
Tea Notes
A fresh burst of lemon and bergamot is softened by the gentle sweetness of figs ripened by the late summer sun. Ginger and nutmeg bring subtle spice, while tea accord anchors the composition. Cedarwood adds a classic, clean depth to this calming scent.
Set in a cool green vessel, hand-blown by Afghan artisans using traditional techniques passed down for generations. Each jar is a singular work of art.
Jasmine
A delicate duo of jasmine and rose make up the heart of this radiant, romantic scent. Bright citrus top notes yield to soft, sun-soaked ylang-ylang with a touch of resinous balsamic undertones.
Hand-poured into a vibrant turquoise vessel, hand-blown by Afghan artisans using traditional techniques passed down for generations. Each jar is a singular work of art.
