Our Story

Hi! I’m Kriszella — a proud single mom of three amazing kids.
My passion for creating personalized gifts started by celebrating their special moments, especially birthdays. I loved making those days extra fun and meaningful by crafting custom gifts for them and our guests. Seeing the joy and excitement those little details brought sparked something in me — and I knew I wanted to share that feeling with others.

With a deep love for scents and creativity, I began making candles just for myself. At first, I was hesitant — even discouraged — but thanks to the support and encouragement of my kids, I took a leap of faith… and started selling them.

That’s how KANDILA was born.

Every scent I create is inspired by beautiful memories with my children — each candle holds a special story. I’ve fallen in love with the process of curating fragrances that bring comfort, joy, and nostalgia. I hope they help make your space feel extra special too.

Our collection is also deeply influenced by the vibrancy of our Filipino heritage and a love for Asian culture. We wanted to offer a line of luxury candles that feature familiar, comforting scents from our childhood — the kind that spark warm, unforgettable memories and good vibes.

At KANDILA, we believe in intentional, mindful craftsmanship. All of our candles are made in small batches to ensure quality and reduce waste. We use clean, sustainable materials for both our ingredients and packaging — offering you a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to traditional candles.

Thank you for supporting local, and for being part of this journey with us.
It means the world to us — truly.

Salamat po!
We hope you enjoy our creations as much as we enjoy making them. 💛
