OUR STORY
The story behind Theindiajourney.com
A small Lagos-born brand of Scented Wax Charms, made by hand, slowly.
OUR STORY
Nova means something.
Nova means new, a small, deliberate beginning. We chose it to mark the start of something quiet and lasting. We make Scented Wax Charms in small batches, by hand, in Lagos. We use botanical elements, not synthetics. We pack without plastic. We believe scent is the most honest part of a room.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
The first time I noticed a scent could hold a memory, I knew I wanted to build with it.
Nova started in a small room in Lagos with one candle and a quiet question: what would it feel like to come home to yourself? Every charm we make is poured by hand, scent first, with a slow attention to detail. We are still small, still figuring it out, still grateful you’re here.
