Hi, I’m Zaheer, the founder of Zahccis. I started this journey back in 2021 when I was just 14, simply because I wanted to create something beautiful that brought comfort into people’s homes. I’ve always been drawn to scents the way a fragrance can tell a story, spark a memory, or completely change the mood of a space.

What began as a small passion project in my spare time has grown into Zahccis, a collection of hand-poured, luxury candles made with care here in New Zealand. Every fragrance is carefully chosen for its depth and character, using premium oils that blend richness, complexity, and a touch of the unexpected.

Zahccis isn’t just about candles, it’s about slowing down, appreciating the details, and making everyday moments feel a little more special. From the scent throw to the packaging, I make sure every part of the experience reflects that.

Whether you light a Zahccis candle at the end of a busy day or give one as a gift, I hope it brings the same warmth and joy to you as it does to me while making them.
