Our Story
Looking back...
How it started?
The chipped paint on the peeling door whispered stories as I pushed it open. Inside the dusty Marrakech souk, a symphony of aromas assaulted my senses: the earthy musk of spices, the sweet sting of incense, the refreshing tang of mint tea. It wasn't just the smells; it was a kaleidoscope of memories flooding back – haggling for treasures, sipping tea in a hidden courtyard, the vibrant chaos of the marketplace.
Back home, surrounded by the sterile monotony of my home, I yearned for that sensory explosion. I tried recreating it with store-bought candles, but none captured the true essence of Marrakech. That's when the spark ignited. What if I could bottle those travel memories, those olfactory souvenirs, and share them with others?
Fueled by sudden inspiration and late nights spent researching fragrance oils, I started experimenting. My kitchen became a laboratory, filled with vials of exotic scents and half-burned wicks. Weeks turned into months, filled with failures and frustrating dead ends. But slowly, the magic began to happen.
The first successful blend – a warm combination of amber and saffron – brought back vivid memories of wandering through the Marrakech souks. I called it "Marrakech Magic".
Today, my business, "Candle Caravan Co." is a testament to the power of travel memories and the magic of fragrance. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most profound inspiration comes from the most unexpected places – a dusty souk in a faraway land.
