Malia

Malia is a Finnish fragrance brand whose range includes scented candles, room fragrances and hand soaps. The products are designed in Finland and made in France, and both sides show in the result: the look is pared back in a Nordic way, while the scents carry a French refinement.

Johanna Laaksomaa founded Malia after failing to find candles that felt gentle enough for her. That is why Malia’s scents are restrained – you notice them in a room, but they never take over. The candles are made by French artisans with a long tradition of working with fragrance. Laaksomaa has also drawn inspiration from her two daughters, whose curiosity and openness lie behind the whole brand.
