About Us

Dabira Aroma is a home and body fragrance brand that celebrates Africa's rich heritage through its meticulously crafted, non-toxic candles, home fragrances, and body care products. Founded in 2019, our mission is to provide an indulgent self-care experience while promoting self-love and giving back to communities in need.

Our Philosophy

We believe in the power of pure, natural ingredients and the importance of ethical sourcing. All our candles, home fragrances, and body care products are handmade in small batches, infused with premium African-grown botanicals and essences sourced from cooperatives across the continent. By supporting local communities, we preserve age-old traditions and create sustainable livelihoods.

With Purpose

The name Dabira Aroma means "God does Wonders and Serenity" in Yoruba – a philosophy that inspires us to make a positive impact. With every purchase of our handmade candles, home fragrances, and body care products, a portion of the proceeds is donated to a Nigerian children's orphanage, spreading joy and hope to those in need.

ABOUT THE CREATOR

“I’ve always dreamed of starting my own company and being able to share that with the world while also giving back to my roots. I created Dabira Aroma to bring you quality luxury home goods, and also be able to help people in need. As a first generation Nigerian American I have strong ties to my heritage and have always wanted to do more for my country. With your help proceeds from each candle will go towards helping Nigerian Orphanage. I hope you enjoy your candle as much as I have enjoyed creating them. Welcome to the Family!”

Favorite Candle: One Eleven

Why: Although I love ALL of Dabira Aroma Candles and you will too. One Eleven is special to me because it is inspired by my Birthday January 11. One Eleven hits all the scents I would love to have in one candle. This candle puts me in a great mood and it will do the same for you.
