This year has been a hard year for many of us, a year of reflection, a year of courage and a most definitely year of change.

From this perspective we should all value one another, our differences and our talents and support each other which is why if you have to gift someone, you should definitely support a small local initiative and help them spread their work and their products as it took plenty of soul searching and courage to launch a new project in a year like 2020.

Let’s discover From the Arabs; an Emirati brand created to preserve and modernize the culture for what it’s famously known for; Fragrance.

Arabic scents have been underappreciated in the home fragrance world and rarely seen in candles, room sprays, diffusers etc.. which is why the founders wanted to shed light on by creating unique scents usually found in Emirati homes in the forms of bakhour, incense or raw material in the form of candles.

Their products are authentic, made by hand and completely sourced in the UAE with each piece being entirely unique because of the craftsmanship and pottery work that goes into creating them.

Their inspiration came from preserving their grandmother’s famous bakhour recipes to modernize it, they started creating home fragrances thus tapping into the field of Arabic flavors in a way never done before.

We love the hand thrown ceramic pots, the scents and even the look of the look of the candle’s flame.

What we also love is their candle care guide that we all need with so many helpful tips like always trimming the wick 1/8” to ¼” before lighting for your candle to burn longer, cleaner and more evenly.

Or tips like not moving the candle until the wax is set or letting a scented candle burn for two to three hours to maximize effect.
