Our Story

Hi, I’m Aduke — a performing artist, creative entrepreneur, and the hands (and heart) behind Abẹla & Co.

This brand was born from a personal journey through darkness. In a season when I was searching for light, candle-making became my healing — a simple act of melting, blending, and pouring that taught me joy could be created, even in shadows.

“Abẹla” means candle in Yoruba, my heritage language. For me, it’s more than a word — it’s a symbol of resilience, hope, and the beauty of beginning again.

Today, Abẹla & Co is here to share that light with you. Every candle is hand-poured in small batches with natural wax and thoughtful fragrance blends — crafted not just to scent a room, but to remind you that healing is possible, joy is real, and light always finds a way.

From my hands to your home — may our candles bring you the warmth, calm, and joy that they once brought me.

Our Commitment to You

Quality you can feel – I use clean-burning waxes and carefully sourced essential and fragrance oils for a safe, long-lasting burn.

Scents with soul – Each blend is designed to evoke memories, inspire calm, and celebrate life’s simple pleasures.

Sustainable choices – From recyclable packaging to re-usable jars, every detail considers our planet.

A piece of joy in every pour – Because candles are more than décor, they are moments waiting to be lived.

This is more than a candle business to me. It’s a journey of joy, mine and yours. And I’m so glad you’re here to share in it.
