Our story began in the beautiful chaos that followed the birth of my third child. A friend gave me a luxury candle as a gift. I'd never really burned one before, and I wasn't prepared for how much I'd fall in love with it. In the middle of a pretty hectic chapter of my life, that little flicker of scent gave me a moment of calm I didn't know I needed.

That moment sparked something. I found myself wondering: could I create something just as beautiful, but with a little more heart in it? I wanted to make candles that felt personal. The kind you'd give for life's biggest moments, something someone could hold onto long after the occasion had passed.

So I bought a candle-making kit, tracked down the loveliest fragrances I could find, and got stuck in. What started as curiosity quickly became a bit of an obsession. Testing, tweaking, and pouring late into the night, all in pursuit of scents that could bring people back to a memory, or simply make a house feel a little more like home.

Life with three children is never quiet, but somewhere in the in-between moments, nap times, late evenings, early mornings ...I built something that was mine. It started with our Wedding Collection, and over time (and a lot of very late nights) it's grown into a full collection of hundreds of unique designs.

SALMA MYA is really just our family, in a name:

We believe the little details are what make something feel truly special. That's why every material we use is premium and sourced from within Europe, and why every single candle is still hand-poured right here in Yorkshire, by hand, with care.

So when you light a SALMA MYA candle, you're not just lighting a candle, you're bringing a little piece of our home, and our story, into yours.

With love,
Salma x
