In the workshop right now

A small batch we're hand-making this month — real products, not a preview render. Some are ready to sell today; others are waiting on a cosmetic licence, same as the rest of the range.

Aroma Haus

Distilled, not manufactured.

25 scents, built from 44 botanical oils and nothing else. No fragrance compounds, no fillers. Poured in small batches and cured properly — the waiting is what makes them work.

Shop by category

329 products across four categories — start here, not with the full list.

The scent library

Six house scents, each carried across every format. One scent through a whole room, not one jar.

The range

Tap any product for full specification, ingredients and unit economics.

Internal note, not customer copy. Every product photo and video on this site — this grid, the hero, the room-spray banner — is an AI-generated concept render, not a photograph of a real poured batch. Replace all of it with real product photography once the first batch is poured. Items marked Phase two are skin-contact cosmetics and need a state manufacturing licence (or a loan licence) before they can legally be sold in India. Everything marked Available now can be sold immediately.

Gift sets

One scent, several formats, boxed together. A set raises the order value far more than it costs to fill.

Scent

Not just for the room

Eleven roll-on perfume oils, worn on skin — for her, for him, and unisex. Alcohol-free — the oil sits close and wears differently from a spray.

One spray, and the room changes.

How to read a candle label

Four questions worth asking any brand, including us. We publish our answers.

"Is it 100% soy, or a blend?"

A wax described as a blend can be largely paraffin with enough soy to earn the word. The ratio is rarely printed.

Ours is 100% soy. No blend.

"How much scent is in it?"

"Infused with essential oil" says nothing about quantity. Half a percent and eight percent both qualify for the phrase.

8% by wax weight. Printed on the jar.

"Which oils, exactly?"

Fragrance disclosure is largely unregulated. A single word — fragrance — can stand in for dozens of undisclosed compounds.

Every oil named, in order.

"Is there anything animal in it?"

Fine perfume still uses musk, civet and ambergris. Mass-market soap is often rendered animal fat. Neither is usually mentioned on the pack.

Nine plant oils. No beeswax, tallow or musk.

"Can you prove the oil is real?"

Adulteration is common in the bulk oil trade. Without a lab report, "pure lavender" is an assertion rather than a fact.

GC-MS report per batch, on request.

One thing we will say before you buy: a natural candle throws more quietly than a synthetic one. Fragrance compounds are engineered for projection and cost a fraction of what essential oil costs — that is the whole reason the industry uses them, and the whole reason ours costs more. We think the trade is worth it. You may not, and you should know before you spend.

Common questions

Including the ones people don't usually think to ask.

Is everything actually plant-based?

Yes — every product in the range today is 100% plant-based. Soy wax, cotton wicks, essential oils, and plant carrier oils only. No beeswax, no tallow, no musk, civet or ambergris, and no animal-derived material anywhere, in any product.

That's not a marketing label we're applying after the fact — it's just what the formulas are. You can check it yourself against the full ingredient list on any product page, or filter to "Vegan only" in the shop.

I see "alcohol" in the room spray ingredients — what is that, and is it safe?

It's perfumer's alcohol (a purified, high-proof alcohol used throughout the fragrance industry) — not drinking alcohol, and not something you'd find in a bar. Its only job in the formula is to carry the essential oil evenly through the water so the spray doesn't separate, and to help it dry cleanly on fabric without leaving an oily mark.

It evaporates within seconds of spraying. What's left on your linen or in the room is the scent — not the alcohol.

Do the roll-on perfumes contain alcohol too?

No. The roll-ons are 100% oil-based with zero alcohol — the essential oil blend sits in a plant carrier oil, nothing else. Most roll-on and EDP-style perfumes on the market are alcohol-diluted; ours deliberately aren't. That also means they wear differently: closer to the skin, and without the sharp opening note alcohol-based perfumes have.

Why does natural fragrance smell weaker than what I'm used to?

Because it usually is quieter, and that's a real trade-off worth knowing before you buy. Synthetic fragrance compounds are engineered specifically for projection and throw — and cost a fraction of what essential oil costs, which is the whole reason most of the industry uses them. Essential oil reads as more natural, but sits closer to the product rather than filling a room from across it. We think the trade is worth it; you should decide that for yourself before you spend.

We make everything in small batches, and we wait.

A candle poured today does not smell like a candle poured two weeks ago. Essential oils need time to bind into wax, and a blend needs time to marry before it becomes a perfume rather than a list of oils. Most of what we do is waiting properly.

Our 44 oils come from certified Indian suppliers with a GC-MS report for every batch — the test that proves an oil is what it claims to be. Adulteration is common in this market. We check.

Nothing here contains a synthetic fragrance compound. That means our candles throw more quietly than the ones you are used to, and cost more to make. We think it is the right trade.
