Description
This scented candle is made in the UK by a family-run business, using a bespoke fragrance created exclusively for Nkuku. An evocative scent with rich notes of sandalwood, earthy cedarwood, and warming amber, capturing the essence of distant travels and the spirit of discovery. The vessel is finished in one of Nkuku's iconic textured styles and intended to be reused once the candle has burned through.
Our Stylist Says
I love this candle for adding a warm, inviting aroma without overpowering a space. Its earthy notes of cardamom and amber work particularly well in rustic, boho, or minimalist interiors, where natural textures and neutral tones are prevalent. It’s a great choice for layering on wooden surfaces or open shelving, creating cosy corners in living rooms or bedrooms. For practical styling, position it alongside other organic elements like stones, dried botanicals, or linen textiles to enhance its relaxed vibe. Its understated yet elegant design also makes it versatile enough to sit on side tables, coffee tables, or as part of a centrepiece, adding subtle sophistication to everyday spaces.

About Nkuku
Established in 2003, Nkuku offers ethically sourced, handcrafted, and eco-friendly homewares and furniture. Their pieces introduce an element of rustic elegance to your space, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Inspired by the artisans they met during a world trip in 2002, Ali and Alex established Nkuku, a brand that celebrates handmade techniques and traditional skills from artisans across the world.
The journey began with a business plan drafted on a beach, with the name "Nkuku" taken from a Zambian village they passed.
Starting in Devon, they initially sold products from their travels at local markets. Eventually, Nkuku transitioned from a wholesale business to a known retail brand, offering a wide range of homewares, from tableware to furniture.
Nkuku is not just about selling products; it's about values. They are committed to an ethical approach, partnering with independent businesses, social projects, and cooperatives. Their focus? Building transparent, strong relationships with suppliers to ensure mutual success.
They're also environmentally conscious, incorporating natural and recycled materials into their products. From golden hemp and reclaimed mango wood to textiles recycled from old t-shirts, Nkuku champions sustainability and eco-friendly production methods.
Every Nkuku product tells a tale, capturing the essence of traditional, handmade craftsmanship. By embracing low-impact production methods, they bring collections that are individually crafted, ensuring each piece is unique.
The brand cherishes the age-old knowledge passed down through generations of artisans. It's not just about home décor for them; it's about keeping a rich heritage alive and celebrating the beauty of handmade uniqueness.
