Hi I'm Manu,

Petrichor Candles was born from a feeling — the smell of rain on warm earth. For me, that scent carries memories of childhood in Sri Lanka, watching monsoon rains fall from my grandmother’s verandah. It’s the scent of home, of comfort, of being present in a moment that feels timeless.

I created Petrichor to capture that emotion — to craft candles that don’t just smell beautiful, but take you back to your own favourite memories. Each candle is hand-poured with intention, inspired by nature, nostalgia, and the quiet magic of everyday life.

Because sometimes, all it takes is a familiar scent to feel like you’ve come home.
