Kankshi - Himalayan Aromatherapy Candles & Perfumes

Palampur sits under the Dhauladhar wall, in tea-garden country where the air itself seems scented. It is also home to CSIR-IHBT, the Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, and Kankshi works in collaboration with it, which is a rare sentence to write about a candle company.

The range is built from Himalayan botanicals and tested rigour: soy-blend candles, alcohol-free attars, EDP perfumes, essential oils, reed diffusers. Old mountain knowledge about what a plant can do, held to a laboratory standard.

Light one and the room changes altitude.
