Project Description

MAKTUB Studio is a music-centric lifestyle and wellness brand, that sparked as a concept to merge two things that brought me peace during a difficult time - music + candles. Our luxury hand-poured scented candles are all inspired by songs + lyrics.Every scent is created based on the vibe of the song and each candle comes with a curated music playlist available on all major streaming services. By masterfully pairing your favorite songs with aromatic scents, MAKTUB candles creates a sensorial immersive experience to instantly elevate your vibe.

The name, MAKTUB, comes from my favorite book, The Alchemist. It's an Arabic word meaning "it is written". I chose to create a connection between that meaning and my love and appreciation of music and lyrics that have become apart of my life's story.

 

Why? Well, it’s known that both music + scent are strongly tied to forming and recalling positive memories, and we've all witnessed how music unites + uplifts us during adverse times, such as during the pandemic. 

 

MAKTUB Studio aims to celebrate music’s positive impact on our lives and leverage it to help us master peaceful vibes through unique music-inspired wellness and lifestyle products. Recently, we've expanded our candles to additional home fragrance products including, incense, room sprays and reed oil diffusers. But this is only the beginning of the vision.
