Founded on the principles of quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship, Shifa Aromas is a testament to the British legacy of hand-made, environmentally friendly products that speak to the soul. Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring into your homes not just a scent, but an experience—a fragrance that lingers not only in your space but in your heart, evoking memories and emotions that last a lifetime.
As you embark on this sensory journey with us, we invite you to explore the essence of romance, the elegance of our collections, and the art of gifting the unforgettable. Whether it's the gentle whisper of our 'Take time to...' collection, the natural allure of our Naturals Collections, or the exotic journey offered by our Premium Silk Route Collection, each scent is crafted with love, designed to become a timeless reminder of the moments you cherish.
With every candle lit and every diffuser placed, we promise a fragrance that is more than just a scent—it's a memory in the making, a token of love, and a testament to the enduring power of fragrance to connect us to our deepest emotions and to each other. Welcome to Shifa Aromas, where every scent tells a story, and every fragrance is a journey to be remembered.
The dance of romance is a delicate interplay of senses, where sight, sound, touch, and taste are often heralded as the harbingers of love. Yet, it is the scent, the most ethereal of senses, that casts the longest shadow on the canvas of our memories. At Shifa Aromas, we believe in the power of fragrance to not only enhance the ambiance of a space but to anchor memories of love and intimacy in the most profound ways. Our carefully curated scents are designed to be the silent storytellers of your romantic journey, weaving a narrative that is as unique as your love story.
The right fragrance can transform an ordinary room into a sanctuary of love and warmth. Imagine walking into a space scented with the delicate notes of jasmine and rose, evoking the gardens of Eden, or the warm embrace of vanilla and amber, creating a cocoon of comfort and intimacy. These scents serve as the backdrop to your moments of closeness, enhancing the sense of togetherness and deepening the bonds of love.
Just as a particular song can transport you back to the first dance, a distinct fragrance can return you to the first kiss, the whispered words of love, or the shared laughter that marks the journey of your relationship. Our fragrances are crafted to become the signature of your love, a scent that, when encountered again, will always bring back the rush of those initial moments spent together.
Our collections offer a palette of fragrances to suit every facet of your romantic tale. From the invigorating freshness of our Naturals Collections, perfect for day-time dalliances and the bloom of new love, to the exotic and mysterious notes of our Premium Silk Route Collection, ideal for evenings wrapped in the mystery and promise of enduring passion. Each scent is a chapter in your love story, waiting to be discovered, cherished, and remembered.
Selecting the right fragrance is akin to choosing the words in a love letter; it must resonate with the essence of your relationship. Consider the memories you wish to create, the emotions you aim to evoke, and let your heart guide you to the perfect scent. Whether it's the uplifting citrus for moments of joy, the calming lavender for peace and tranquillity, or the rich oud for depth and intensity, each fragrance tells a story. Let yours be one of enduring love and unforgettable moments.
At the heart of Shifa Aromas lies a commitment to not just crafting fragrances but creating experiences that resonate with the soul. Our collections are a testament to this philosophy, each offering a unique journey through scents that captivate, inspire, and evoke memories. As artisans of aroma, we invite you to explore the essence of our collections, where every fragrance is a key to a world of sensory elegance, designed to enrich your romantic narrative.
In the hustle of life, moments of togetherness can often be fleeting. The 'Take Time to...' Collection is an invitation to pause, breathe, and immerse in the now with your loved one. Inspired by the simplicity and purity of nature, this collection features scents that encourage relaxation and connection. From the soothing embrace of lavender to the refreshing zest of citrus, each fragrance is a reminder to cherish the present and the company you keep.
Embracing the raw beauty of the natural world, our Naturals Collections are a tribute to the unadorned elegance of the earth's offerings. These scents are crafted from the finest, sustainably sourced ingredients, offering a pure and authentic fragrance experience. Whether it's the earthy undertones of sandalwood or the sweet whispers of rose, the Naturals Collections bring the essence of the outdoors into your home, creating a backdrop of tranquillity and harmony for your romantic endeavours.
Journey through the ancient paths of desire and discovery with our Premium Silk Route Collection. This opulent collection draws inspiration from the historic trade routes that connected the East and West, bringing together exotic spices, precious silks, and rare treasures. The fragrances in this collection, from the spicy warmth of cinnamon to the luxurious depth of myrrh, are designed to transport you and your loved one on an olfactory adventure through time and space. Each scent is a homage to the romance of exploration, the thrill of discovery, and the luxury of time spent in the company of one's beloved.
In every drop of fragrance and in every candle lit, Shifa Aromas encapsulates a world of romance, elegance, and unforgettable memories. Our collections are more than just scents; they are the essence of moments spent together, the luxury of time paused, and the beauty of love expressed in the universal language of aroma.
In the realm of love and romance, the act of giving transcends the mere exchange of gifts; it becomes a symbol of the depth of one's feelings, a testament to the thoughtfulness behind the gesture. At Shifa Aromas, we believe that the perfect gift is one that speaks directly to the heart, evoking memories and emotions that linger long after the moment has passed. This belief is embodied in our fragrances, each crafted to be a memorable gift of scent, a token of love that endures.
Choosing a Shifa Aromas candle or diffuser as a gift is an expression of love that goes beyond the ordinary. It's about selecting a fragrance that captures the essence of your relationship, a scent that will forever remind your loved one of you and the special moments you've shared. Whether it's the comforting warmth of vanilla for comfort, the exotic allure of jasmine for passion, or the refreshing clarity of mint for new beginnings, each fragrance tells a story of love, making it the perfect, unforgettable gift.
What makes a gift of scent truly special is its ability to be deeply personal. At Shifa Aromas, we offer a range of fragrances that cater to every preference and personality. By choosing a scent that resonates with your loved one's character, hobbies, or memories, you transform your gift into a deeply personal symbol of your affection. It's not just a candle or a diffuser; it's a reflection of your intimate knowledge of their likes and dislikes, their dreams and desires, making it a gift that they will always cherish.
The beauty of gifting a fragrance lies in its power to create lasting memories. Every time the scent fills their space, it's a reminder of you and the special bond you share. It's an invitation to relive the joyous moments, a trigger for the happy memories, and a comfort in times of solitude. This is the magic of the perfect gift of scent from Shifa Aromas—it's not just a fleeting pleasure but a lasting emblem of your love and presence in their life.
At Shifa Aromas, our dedication to crafting exquisite fragrances is matched only by our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing. When you choose a gift from our collections, you're not just selecting a high-quality, beautifully scented product; you're also choosing a gift that's environmentally responsible and lovingly made. This adds another layer of thoughtfulness to your gift, showing your loved one that you care not just for them but for the world around us. It's a gift that says so much more, making it the perfect choice for expressing your deepest feelings and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Creating the perfect ambiance for a romantic evening is an art form, where every detail contributes to the overall experience. At Shifa Aromas, we understand that the right fragrance can transform any space into a haven of love and intimacy. Our scents are designed to set the mood for love, enveloping you and your loved one in an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and affection.
The key to setting the mood lies in selecting a fragrance that both you and your partner adore. For a romantic evening, consider scents that evoke warmth and sensuality, such as rose for its classic symbol of love, or sandalwood for its rich, grounding aroma. Lavender can be chosen for its relaxing properties, perfect for easing into the evening, while vanilla's sweet and comforting scent creates a cosy, inviting atmosphere. Remember, the fragrance should enhance the experience, acting as a subtle backdrop to the evening's activities.
Once you've selected the perfect scent, consider how to incorporate it into your evening. A candlelit dinner can be made even more special with the soft glow and delicate fragrance of a Shifa Aromas candle. Alternatively, strategically placed reed diffusers can fill the room with a continuous, gentle scent, creating a seamless aromatic experience. For a more interactive experience, consider a massage with scented oils, allowing you to connect physically while being surrounded by a beautiful aroma. The key is to use fragrance to enhance the senses, creating a memorable, multisensory experience.
The power of scent to evoke memories is unparalleled. By incorporating a special fragrance into your romantic evening, you're not just creating a mood; you're creating a memory. In the future, whenever you or your partner encounter this scent, you'll be instantly transported back to this moment of intimacy and connection. This is the beauty of setting the mood with Shifa Aromas—our fragrances become woven into the fabric of your relationship, a constant reminder of the love and special moments you share.
At Shifa Aromas, we take pride in the love and care we pour into each of our products, but the true measure of our success lies in the experiences of our customers.

Here, we share a few of their stories, a testament to the power of giving the perfect gift of scent.
"Discovering Shifa Aromas was like finding a hidden treasure. The Cherry Orchard candle became an instant favourite in our home. Its fresh floral scent fills the room with such a warm and inviting aroma, whether lit or unlit. It's become a significant part of our evening routine, setting a relaxing atmosphere that helps us unwind together. It's not just a candle; it's an experience that we share." - Aminah Ilyas
"I gifted my partner the Moroccan Souk diffuser for our anniversary, and it's been remarkable how a scent can evoke so many memories. Every time we walk into our living room, we're reminded of our trip to Marrakech, the spices, the warmth, and the adventure. Shifa Aromas didn't just give us a fragrance; they gave us a way to travel back to one of our happiest moments, anytime we want." - Anonymous
"For our wedding, we wanted something unique for our guests, something that would remind them of the day with fondness. Shifa Aromas created bespoke candles that were not just beautiful but filled with a scent we chose together, making them incredibly personal. Our guests were delighted, and many have told us how lighting the candle brings back the joy of that day. It was the perfect touch, making our special day unforgettable not just for us but for everyone we shared it with." - Pri
"During a particularly challenging time, a friend gifted me a Shifa Aromas candle. I was sceptical about how much of a difference it could make, but I was wrong. The gentle fragrance became a source of comfort, a small beacon of joy in my days. It's amazing how something as simple as a scent can lift your spirits and make you feel cared for. I'm now a regular customer, not just buying for myself but spreading the comfort to others." - Sarah

You're choosing a memory, a moment, and a message of love that is as enduring as the fragrances we meticulously craft.
We invite you to explore our collections and find the perfect scent that resonates with your love story. Let Shifa Aromas be the silent witness to your moments of love, joy, and togetherness, enhancing them with the timeless elegance of fragrance.

]]>As the wondrous candle glows, you relax and ooze into the festivities because your home now feels like the perfect present.
That’s the magic of gifting with opulent fragrances! It's a gift that keeps giving and will take your loved one on an aromatic journey for many months to come. With each inhale, your gift will transport them back to a place of cherished memories and deep connection.
What’s even better, at Shifa Aromas you can pair a luxurious candle with a gorgeous glass diffuser of the same essence. Because when you gift someone you love, it should always feel extra special.
But what truly connects us to gifting…
Expressing Emotions: Gift-giving is a universal language that enables us to express our emotions. Whether it's love, gratitude, sympathy, or joy, a carefully chosen gift speaks volumes about what we feel. A well-thought-out gift communicates emotions that words alone sometimes can't capture, making it a powerful tool for connecting on a deeper, emotional level.
Building Trust: The act of giving and receiving gifts can help build trust and strengthen relationships. When you take the time to select a thoughtful gift for someone, it demonstrates that you value and care for them. This fosters trust and creates a bond that goes beyond surface-level interactions.
Fostering Reciprocity: Reciprocity is a fundamental social principle – when someone gives us a gift, we often feel compelled to reciprocate. This cycle of giving and receiving forms a strong connection between individuals, ensuring that the relationship remains active and enduring.
Creating Shared Memories: Memorable gifts have the power to create shared memories. The experience of unwrapping a thoughtfully chosen gift and the happiness it brings can be etched into one's memory for a lifetime. These shared memories can serve as a foundation for strong, lasting connections.
Celebrating Milestones: Life is full of milestones, big and small. Whether it's a graduation, a new job, or a wedding, gifts are a way to celebrate these achievements. By acknowledging and celebrating each other's accomplishments, we strengthen connections and share in the joy of those we care about.
In the end, the power of gifting lies not just in the exchange of material items, but in the profound impact it has on your connections, relationships, and the beautiful tapestry of emotions it weaves into the fabric of your life.

]]>Where a candle is beautiful in sight and smell, and diffusers are ornate, a room mist is a hidden surprise waiting to delight.
In its most simple terms, a room mist is a spray to be used throughout your home, to add an additional piece of magic and an extra layer of beauty. One spray can give you endless joy as you release it into your family’s lives and develop an aura that excites your senses.
Is it one of life’s necessities? That depends on who you ask, but believe us when we tell you, once you’ve experienced a room mist that works, you’ll want to experience it over and over again.
There is no simple answer here, it depends upon the environment in which you share it, the size of the room, the existing scent and the people and contents within. Typically it will remain for you to enjoy for a few hours.
There are a number of ways in which these aromas can be shared including sprays and humidifiers. At Shifa Aromas we believe a manual spray is a perfect way to share a room mist as it leaves you to decide how often and how much is needed to suit the room and the occasion. Our new range comes in luxury glass bottles with a quality gold mystifier, all of which are recyclable.
Freshening up a room is not the only way to use your aromatic spray. How about trying some of these ideas to bring further joy on a daily basis:
A small spray on a pillow can help soothe you and send you off to sleep with relaxed thoughts and a clear mind. Why not try this in your guestroom to help your friends and family relax further when they stay?
If you’re hard at work but feel like you’re not getting anywhere or are stuck on a specific problem, try a simple spray to clear the air and relax the mind, you could have your solution in no time at all.
If your washing machine is leaving your laundry with a musty smell, try a few sprays of a room mist to rid the unwanted tangs
Your time alone is special. You can treat yourself to special bubbles in a hot bath with a book you love, but often you forget about the scent. This final touch will be sure to create a haven you’ll be yearning to get back to.
More and more we spend time in our vehicles as we travel to and from work on a daily basis. Why not use this time to relax and unwind. A spray in your car can create a calming environment to help you forget about any troubles you may have...particularly on the drive home.
This really is down to your own personal preferences. Just as with candles, a room mist aroma is special to you. You don’t have to limit yourself to just one, but for each use think about the following questions:
You’ll soon find your perfect answer.

With products now available in the US, the Shifa Aromas brand continues to grow its audience internationally and is also available in United Arab Emirates and Ukraine.
]]>By giving a gift, you are showing someone you are thinking of them. Think of it as a light being shared and you are somewhere close in words to its true feeling.
There are countless reasons for buying a gift, to thank someone for their actions, to show feelings towards another person or simply to let them know you are there.
This, in part, is one of the reasons why gifts are so magical. There are no set rules, no black or white reasons. You can give a gift just because you saw an item and thought the person you had in your mind in that instance would enjoy it as much as you do.
Every day, thousands of people will be celebrating an occasion, some bigger than others, but all just as important to the beholder. And what can be central to that occasion? A gift.
There is no surprise that people often say it is the thought that counts. That’s because a thought is a perfect gift for another. Knowing that a person has given their time to share a thought of you.
Your thought of the recipient is you showing you understand them. It should be personal and positive and should always portray the feeling you want to share.
It is easy to get stuck when considering what to buy. You can soon find yourself buying the same old things, occasion after occasion.
All too often, gift ideas for her might be jewellery or on a smaller scale, a treat like chocolate or flowers. Something beautiful to look at and display or to taste and be excited by.
However, what can often be forgotten is another of our senses that is equally as important: to smell.
An overlooked gift can be an aroma.
Think about how often you have been overjoyed by an aroma as it appears in a moment for you to enjoy and stays with you as you take time to unwind and simply be.
There are a number of reasons why sharing an aroma is the perfect idea for a gift for her. Whether you chose to give a candle, a diffuser or a mist, you’re supplying a lasting impression.
Aromas can be shared on all occasions and can be delivered to suit the person you are gifting to. Via a luxury candle, diffuser or mist, you are sure to find the perfect aroma for the right person.

]]>I was first introduced to Shifa Aromas through receiving one of their beautiful smelling and looking Summer Dreams scented tin candles in a recent Juliah box. It has to be my favourite candle I’ve ever received in a subscription box; so, when Shifa Aromas put a call out on their Instagram account asking for bloggers to review some of their products, I jumped at the chance. I was really excited to find out that I was one of the lucky bloggers chosen to receive a blogger review box containing a selection of their products.
Before I get onto the products I received in my blogger box, let me tell you a little bit about this wonderful brand and the people behind it. Shifa Aromas is a family run business who produce lovingly hand-made, hand-poured home fragrances in Yorkshire. All of their products are vegan friendly and paraben free, and their candle’s and wax melts are all made from eco-friendly soy wax. The addition of natural botanicals to their products enhances both the scent and look of each and every piece. Throughout all of my communications with the lovely Jabar and Nafeesa at Shifa Aromas, their passion for their products has shone through. I personally love buying from artisan UK producers and sellers, as in my experience they are passionate about their products and have excellent customer service.
Shifa Aromas currently produce and sell 10 different scent collections. Each of these ‘lifestyle’ collections have their own wellbeing symbol, to help you select the right product for the atmosphere that you wish to create. There is a lifestyle collection for everything from “time to de-stress to “time to re-energize”, so you can be sure that you’ll be able to find the perfect collection for you.
Jabar and Nabeesa were kind enough to send me three different products from three of the different lifestyle collections available; to enable me to experience what their products are all about and tell you all about them.
I can’t help but start by telling you about my favourite item that I received to review. It’s their Essentials Range 200g Tin Soy Wax Candles, in Sufi Garden fragrance. Sufi Garden has the wellbeing symbol “Time to Love”, which couldn’t be more apt for this scent. Think dark autumn and winter evenings when the weather outside is cold and unwelcoming, and all you want to do is snuggle up inside with your favourite jumper or blanket, hiding away from the worries of the world and spending time with your loved ones. If that sounds like your idea of heaven, this is the scent for you; it’s a warming spicy and fruity fragrance which makes you feel like it’s giving you a big hug. As with all of the scents that I’ve experienced from Shifa Aromas, Sufi Garden has a real depth to it, you can smell all of the different scent notes coming through from the fruity floral top notes, through the spicy warming middle notes, right down to the sweet end notes.
If this scent had been presented in a rusty old bean can I would still love it; however, every detail of this candle is gorgeous. It’s presented in a tin with luxury looking labelling that tells you all you could need to know about the product, whilst still being something you’d be proud to display in your home or present as a gift. I really love that Shifa Aroma’s tin candles have a clear Perspex window in their lids, so the candle stays protected and dust free whilst not in use, but you can still see the beautiful candle inside. All of Shifa Aromas candles are lovingly sprinkled by hand with beautiful dried flower petals, which continue to make the candle look gorgeous even after you start burning it.
The Essentials Range 200g Tin Soy Wax Candles in any of the lifestyle collection scents retail at £11, which I think is more than value for money when you consider that it has an up to 30 hours burn time.
Without a doubt I’ll be buying more items from Shifa Aromas in the Sufi Garden fragrance. I’d love to try one of the eco-reed diffusers they produce and sell in this scent.
The next item I received was an Essentials Range 100g Tin Soy Wax Candle from the Persian Chai lifestyle collection. The wellbeing symbol for this is “Time to Destress”. There’s something so familiar and comforting about this scent, but I can’t pin it down. Top notes including violet, jasmine and rose give it a full bodied floral scent, which is balanced perfectly through the middle fruity notes of mandarin and a deep luxurious base of musk. If this doesn’t sound luxourious enough the candle is also infused with Persian tea rose petals, marigold petals and frankincense resin crystals. This floral and musky scent wouldn’t be out of place in a posh spa, so it’s perfect for pamper evenings at home while relaxing with a face mask on. It would also be perfect to light after a stressful day at work, to allow you to relax and the stresses of the day to float away. As with the larger tin candles the quality and care that has been taken over producing this candle is clear to see, the only difference between them is the size. Although it is smaller it still has an amazing burn time in relation to its price. This bargain £6.50 artisan candle has a burn time of up to 15 hours.
Last and definitely not least in my box was a box of 6 Artisan Wax Melts from the Moroccan Nights Lifestyle Collection. The wellbeing symbol for this collection is “Time to Connect”. Initially on smelling these cute little wax cubes infused with sitare oudh and orange blossom flower petals, I was surprised how subtle the scent was. Over the years I’ve tried wax melts from a number of different companies, and the fragrance are usually quite in your face when you sniff them before melting, and I’ve also found they can make the room that the burner is in have significantly more fragrance than anywhere else in the house. Because of this, my husband isn’t a great fan of me using wax melts as he doesn’t like overpowering home fragrances. These melts however were quite the opposite, and as their wellbeing symbol implies helped us to connect. Within a relatively short period of time of burning them, my entire home was filled with a beautifully soft and comforting balanced floral, fruity and musky scent. They are literally the only wax melts I’ve used where my husband hasn’t turned off the burner after fifteen minutes. The first time I used them was when I was cooking dinner, which happened to be fish, and afterwards I noticed that rather than covering up the cooking smells, they had completely eliminated them. This isn’t an advertised property of the melts, but I’ll definitely be using it for that in the future. As with the other products I’ve tested out for Shifa Aromas, the wax melts are brilliant value for money at £7 per pack of 6. With a burn time of up to 10-12 hour each that’s an impressive up to 60-72 hours just from one box.
In addition to the items I received in my blogger box, Shifa Aromas produce and sell luxury glass soy wax candles, eco-friendly reed fragrance diffusers, and refills for their reed diffusers.
I consider myself quite picky when it comes to fragrances, as I can’t stand scents that aren’t well balanced; however out of the four fragrance collections I’ve now tried from Shifa Aromas, there hasn’t been one that I wouldn’t be happy for my home to smell like. These artisan products are high quality, eco-friendly and beautifully presented, so will make perfect presents. With Christmas coming, who doesn’t want a beautifully smelling home? The only thing missing from their product range is a perfume, I’d be in heaven if I could smell like Summer Dreams or Sufi Garden all day long.
