Shala's Collections

At PMJ Candles, each candle tells a story—and this one is closest to our hearts. Shala’s Collection is a tribute to Shala, my husband’s beloved daughter, whose gentle strength, kind spirit, and unwavering grace continue to illuminate our lives.

Though she faced a long and difficult journey with COVID and the illness that followed, Shala remained a beacon of calm and quiet joy. She taught us to find beauty in the everyday and to love deeply and fearlessly. This collection captures the essence of who she was and the love she shared so generously with those around her.

Each fragrance in this collection is handcrafted with purpose, reflecting the special moments and meaningful connections in Shala’s life:

  • Fairy Roses
    The signature of this collection, Fairy Roses is inspired by the very first flower Shala gave me when I arrived in the U.S.—a delicate fairy rose. That simple, heartfelt gesture blossomed into a shared love for this enchanting bloom, which now graces our garden and catches the admiration of every guest. This fragrance is a soft, floral tribute to Shala’s grace and the beauty she brought into our lives.

  • Watermelon Mint
    Bright, playful, and refreshing—just like Shala’s laughter on a summer day. Watermelon Mint is a celebration of her favorite treat: watermelon and a mint flavored ice cream-just like her Dad. This joyful blend evokes carefree afternoons and the sweetness of her personality that left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

  • Puppy Love
    A tender tribute to Shala’s cherished dog, Stitch. Puppy Love is comforting and nostalgic, evoking the warmth of loyal companionship and the dream of joyful reunions beyond this life. It’s a scent that wraps you in love—pure, unconditional, and enduring.

  • Nate
    Named after her beloved brother, Nate captures the strong bond they shared—rooted in trust, laughter, and unwavering love. This scent is grounding and warm, reflecting the sibling connection that brought comfort and strength to Shala throughout her life.

  • Jamie
    Shala’s heart belonged to Jamie, and this fragrance is a romantic tribute to their deep and tender love. Jamie is elegant and soulful, embodying the devotion, joy, and affection that defined their relationship.

Each candle in Shala’s Collection is a celebration of life, love, and memory. Lighting one is more than a moment of fragrance—it’s a reminder to embrace life fully, love generously, and find peace in the present, just as Shala did.
