Scented Memories of the Nusantara

Across the Nusantara, memories linger not just in photographs or stories — but through scent.

From the aroma of spices drifting from our grandmother’s kitchen, to the scent of rain-soaked wood in an old kampung house, these quiet, familiar smells hold memories — vivid fragments of a life rooted in tradition, family, and place.

Aroma Nostalgia was born from the desire to capture these sensory echoes and preserve through scents and fragrances. For the first collections, each candle is inspired by the scents of the Nusantara —

Rumah Kayu Lama, a warm, grounding scent of aged wood and incense that evokes old wooden homes.

Ulam-Ulaman, a fresh, herbaceous and citrusy blend inspired by the traditional salads.

Senja Di Dermaga, a bold, smoky tribute to the fishermen who calls the sea their home, and the unmistakable scent of clove cigarettes by the pier.

Our mission is to evoke the soul of beloved places and treasured moments through scent. Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots or encountering these aromas for the first time, we invite you to discover something personal within each flame.

This is just the beginning — a growing archive of stories told through scent, shaped by memory, emotion, and the enduring spirit of the region we call home.
