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.

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.

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.

*The Karigar Lane team have generously donated their time and expertise, meaning that around $20 from each candle will go directly to Team Assal.


  • 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!
