What does Aloha Shot smell like?
An all-day happy hour in the tropics. Creamy triple coconut, sweet watermelon, ripe papaya and a fresh twist of lime. Light it and it’s like opening the door to warm air, salty skin, and nowhere else to be. Uplifting, playful and impossible not to love.
What inspired Aloha Shot?
A golden afternoon wandering through Waikiki, where the air felt thick with coconut and rum. Hawaii does that differently, slower, warmer, layered with pineapple, laughter, and beautiful melodic voices floating through the streets as the sun dips. Petra came back to Australia not quite ready to let it go. So she didn’t. Aloha Shot was born from that feeling a little candle of “stay a bit longer.”
Is Aloha Shot a strong candle?
Yes, it has a beautiful, generous scent throw that fills a room with tropical warmth. Bold enough to be noticed but never overwhelming. The kind of fragrance that makes people stop mid-conversation and ask, “What is that?”
When is the best time to burn Aloha Shot?
Any time you need a little holiday without leaving home. Perfect for slow Sunday mornings, alfresco entertaining with friends, brightening a kitchen or living space, or lifting your spirits on a grey winter’s day. A year-round favourite that truly shines in spring and summer.
Is Aloha Shot a good gift?
Absolutely, one of those irresistible classics that always finds its way back into people’s homes. Perfect for anyone who loves tropical fragrances, dreams of a Hawaiian holiday, or simply needs a little sunshine in their day. Once someone tries it, they always come back for more.
Is every candle really handmade?
Every single one. Each Aloha Shot candle is hand-poured by Petra here on the beautiful South Coast of Australia using 100% natural soy wax and braided cotton wicks. Made slowly, in small batches, with lots of love, just like the holiday feeling that inspired it.

1. Let it pool (first burn)
The very first time you light your candle, give it a chance to settle in. Let it burn long enough usually around 2 to 4 hours so the entire top layer melts right to the edges. That way, the wax ‘remembers’ to burn evenly next time. It’s a small act of patience that makes a big difference.
2. Trim the wick
Before each burn, give your wick a little tidy-up about 5mm is just right. It helps your candle burn slowly and cleanly, without getting smoky or too hot. Think of it like brushing your hair before heading out: quick, simple, and totally worth it.
3. Keep it still
Candles love calm. Try to keep them away from open windows, fans, or busy walkways. A steady flame means even melting, no tunnelling, and no leaning flames. It’s just like us really, we shine better when we’re not being blown about.
Yes, soy candles are one of the cleanest choices you can make. Our candles are hand-poured with 100% natural soy wax and cotton wicks, free from harmful chemicals, toxins or carcinogens, so you can breathe easy while you enjoy the glow.
Soy wax is plant-based and renewable, while paraffin comes from petroleum. Soy burns slower and cleaner, giving you a longer-lasting candle with less soot and a softer, more natural scent throw.
They do! Because soy wax has a lower melting point, it burns gently and evenly, meaning more hours of fragrance and light for you to enjoy.
Scent throw depends on a few things, the room size, airflow, and how long your candle has been burning. OR....Olfactory Fatigue, “nose blindness.” Your nose simply gets used to the scent. Step outside for a few minutes maybe smell a few coffee beans, then come back in. You’ll notice the fragrance again, fresh and beautiful.
It means our candles are made purely from soybeans, no blends, no fillers, just clean, sustainable wax that performs beautifully.
