About Us

The Story of Manoa Fragrances

Manoa Fragrances was born from our deep love for fragrance — a sensory experience that is uniquely personal and subjective. Every individual perceives scent and its strength differently, and it is this nuance that inspired us to create a platform dedicated to offering a diverse and carefully curated range of scents, from beloved classics to rare, obscure finds.

Our mission is to deliver true value to our customers, without compromising on quality or aesthetics. To achieve this, we invest only in premium materials: pure coconut wax for a cleaner and longer-lasting burn, premium glassware from the USA with a thick base for durability, brushed gold aluminium lids with silicone seals for airtight freshness, and lead and zinc-free cotton wicks for a safe, clean burn.

Our candle-making process begins with fragrance evaluation — carefully testing each scent in its raw form and selecting only those with true potential. Approved scents undergo rigorous testing following the ASTM F2417 voluntary industry standard and internal burn tests, including video recordings to ensure consistency and performance.

Only when a candle meets our strict standards does it earn a place on our website.

Proudly based in Auckland, New Zealand, Manoa Fragrances is dedicated to offering beautifully crafted candles that bring warmth, elegance, and unforgettable scents into your home.
