My Story: Where it Began

Made by Ciara in Ballybunion

Kamana began at a kitchen table in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, in 2019. Ciara and her dad started making candles together. They both loved music, and named each scent after the song it brought to mind.

Her dad later moved on to other things. Ciara kept going, and today she hand-pours Kamana candles in her little studio in Ireland.

The Music Collection still carries that original idea. The Literary Collection gives it another setting: scents for the stories you get lost in and the time you set aside to read.

Behind both collections is the same maker, choosing scents and pouring candles that can become part of everyday life at home.
