Introducing
OUR MISSION
Creating and sharing high-quality mood enhancing products that honor and celebrate the African culture.
What Makes Us Different
We are Rooted in Adventure: For the trailblazer looking for new travel destinations, foods or languages to learn. Each candle highlights characteristics of different African regions and a reminder that Africa is not a country but a masterpiece of different countries, foods and cultures filled with beauty.
We are Rooted in Culture: Historically, candles were first used on the African continent by Ancient Egyptians, who made rushlights or torches by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat. These were later used to illuminate homes, light up night traveler paths, and in religious ceremonies. Through our products, you can learn and celebrate the vast richness and regional attributes of the African continent.
We are Rooted in Wellness: The Aromatherapy blends are designed to boost energy, induce relaxation and relieve stress. Premium scent notes of Peppermint, Lavender, Eucalyptus, and Citrus blends also help open your space and free your mind. Each candle is hand-poured with love to create a great smelling room and improve your mood: a 2-in-1 investment in your mental health and room fragrance. So, you can set the right mood for the room!

Beautifully Scented!
Purchased the candles as a gift for my Wife and she loved the smell! She hasn't lit them yet, but the smell is beautiful and scenting up the room!
Can't wait to light them!

Thoughtful and clean
I had high expectations and was not let down - the packaging that the candle came in was SO CUTE, and the candle itself complements my room. It's subtle and intricate. I like that I can smell the candle once I open it, even before I light it, but the scent isn't super strong and overpowering. It's a lot cleaner and crisper than other amber scented things I've had before, and though I'm only halfway through burning the candle, I'm really impressed by how clean the burn is. I also like that the jar has a top so I'll be reusing it when I'm done. Ordering more as gifts!

Sweet goodness
Ooooh I love this candle. I immediately moved it to my bedside table so I can smell it while I'm reading/relaxing. The orange gives it almost a creamsicle vibe but it's more sophisticated. I will be reordering this one for sure.

Warm & inviting
This scent is a bit masculine to me, but I usually give that description to any scent with amber. To most it probably smells "warm." I love it, and it makes the perfect guest room scent.

"It smells good in here!"
This scent is fantastic: clean, fresh, sunny. I catch whiffs of the candle even when it isn't burning. It's one of my favorites and definitely elicits that phrase we candle lovers want: "it smells good in here!" Great everyday scent that I'll be keeping in my arsenal.

Perfect Balance
Tugela Falls is perfect for winding down. It smells great, but isn't overwhelming. I found it perfect for writing and reading at the end of the day with some low lighting. The packaging was very thoughtful; I'll be buying again!

Smells fantastic!
I am a huge fan of fruity scented candles and this definitely is a top favorite. The orange and agave combination works perfectly.

SO GOOD
This was the first candle I ordered from Omume and I'm obsessed. The scent is calming and clean. It carries well without overpowering. I can even walk by it opened and unlit and catch the fragrance easily. Will definitely order again and can't wait to try the other scents!

I could eat this candle :)
Love love love this candle! It kinda reminds me of a peach bellini. The citrus scent profile is a nice touch.

I couldn't have asked for a better candle!
This candle is just what I was looking for. From the packaging to the design, and of course the scent. I light it throughout the day, but especially in the morning when I want to cleanse my space and feel sophisticated. It's been a great remote work buddy ;)
I can't wait to try the other candles. Omume is my new candle plug!

Kilimanjaro Candle
Highly recommend!
This was the first of omume’s that I tried. I was so impressed by the packaging and how quickly it arrived. It would make a great gift.
It smells so good!!!! Makes me feel calm and relaxed. It's so rich in floral notes and not at all overpowering. Also one time I had it lit for about an hour or two and the scent lingered in my room for another 2-3 hours.
I'm definitely ordering more :)
