Present Your Joy


Hand poured soy wax candles, diffusers and gifts

From cruise ship singer to candlemaker, Alisha knows how to spread good vibes. In lockdown, her job performing on cruise liners was anchored at port – so handcrafting bliss-filled, vegan-friendly home fragrances became her therapeutic outlet. Present Your Joy bloomed into a business.

Alisha blends creamy coconut with fruity cassis to whisk you away to countryside climbs. She balances earthy notes with oriental aromas – and the result is pure relaxation. And for her, this is only half the joy. When Alisha packages and posts her candles and diffusers, that’s when she knows she’s spread a little more love. From Alisha in west London, to you.
