Piha Candle Co is a hand-poured candle maker on North Piha Road in Piha, West Auckland, with its chandlery close to the beach. Every candle is made from 100% pure coconut wax, which the business chose for its sustainability. The range comes in two fragrance lines inspired by the wild west coast of Auckland and its native bush, with names including Pohutukawa, Kowhai and Kitekite, and Renga Renga, which comes in a cloche jar.
Customers who have written reviews say the fragrances are subtle and long-lasting, with one describing a floral scent like sitting in a garden. The candles are made in small batches, poured one at a time, and the business says it is committed to earth-friendly methods throughout.
