About the maker
My journey with Botanica Aroma began when I was 17 years old and found myself struggling with school. Determined to pursue my passions, I left high school and I started my creative journey by enrolling in a photography school.
After successfully completing my photography program, my thirst for knowledge persisted, leading me to explore the intricacies of running my own business. During this educational journey, I stumbled upon a creator on social media who introduced me to the captivating world of candle making. I instantly fell in love with this craft, as it was everything I'm passionate about: hands-on creativity, entrepreneurship, my deep affection for the autumn season - where candles are the perfect companions - and, above all, the self-discovery that unfolds during moments of self-care.
Inspired by this new passion, I pulled an entire all nighter crafting a business plan. In the days that followed, I shared my vision with my family, seeking their valuable feedback. Armed with this plan and a bunch of ideas, I enrolled in a business school, determined to transform my dreams into reality.
Today, having graduated with honors from this business school, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Botanica Aroma.
About the brand
Wooden wicks
Our candles feature wooden wicks crafted from FSC-certified wood. These unique wicks not only create a cozy, crackling ambiance but also enhance the even and efficient dispersion of fragrance throughout your space. The FSC certification ensures that the wood used in our wicks comes from responsibly managed forests, making your candle experience not only enjoyable but also environmentally conscious.
100% soy wax
Unlike paraffin wax, which is commonly used in mass-market candles, our candles are made from 100% soy wax. Soy wax is a natural, renewable resource that burns cleanly and slowly, ensuring a longer-lasting and environmentally-friendly candle.

At Botanica Aroma, sustainability is at the heart of our brand. We are committed to creating products that are environmentally responsible. From using 100% soy wax to carefully sourcing materials, our focus on sustainability extends throughout every aspect of our production process.
