All profits* from these candles will be donated to Team Assal, a group of Palestinians working tirelessly to provide food, water, and essential aid to families in Gaza.

These luxury hand-poured soy candles – a collaboration between Bayyāra and Karigar Lane  – evoke Palestine as we remember it.

Samar (سمر) is a nocturnal fragrance, reminiscent of an enclosed courtyard in Gaza, where we'd stay up late talking as the sweet scent of jasmine filled the summer night air.

Naseem (نسيم) represents Palestine during the day: a gentle breeze from the Mediterranean coast, warm sunshine, and sleepy honeybees drifting among lavender bushes and wild mountain sage.

  • Always trim the wick to 1/2 cm before lighting the candle. If there is a mushroom (bulb) on your wick, cut it off first before lighting it again.
  • You should never leave your candle burning unattended or around pets or young children.
  • Do not burn a candle for more than four hours at a time. This creates risk of shattering glass.
  • Always burn your candle on a heatproof surface or use a heatproof coaster.
  • Do not light your candle if less than 2cm of wax remains. It's time to get a new one!
