About The Artisan's Touch: Behind the Scenes
Every candle you see here is hand-poured in small batches, not mass-produced in a factory. I work with premium soy wax and carefully balance temperatures to get that perfect scent throw. It means your candle might have tiny variations in colour or finish, and that is just the signature of a piece made by hand, not by a machine.
When you buy from Amour by Anjali, you are not just getting a candle, you are getting hours of careful work. My process starts with sourcing clean-burning soy wax and high-quality fragrance oils. I do not believe in shortcuts. Whether I am hand-painting the details on a Holi bucket candle or setting the wicks for a bulk corporate order, every step is done right here in my studio.
The Handmade Difference
Hand-poured candles are different. Because I pour them myself, I can control the fragrance load, ensuring the scent is strong but not overpowering. It allows me to create intricate designs like succulent gardens or dessert jars that look almost real enough to eat. If you look closely at my work, you will see the human touch in the details, from the placement of wax botanicals to the hand-tied ribbons on our gift hampers.
Customisation and Craft
I love a challenge. If you have a specific vision for a baby shower or a corporate event, we work together to bring it to life. I handle everything from label design to scent matching. Because I run this workshop personally, I am flexible with deadlines and can usually accommodate urgent requests. If you have a specific theme or colour palette in mind, just send me a message. We will figure out how to make it happen.
