India has long been a source of inspiration for OKA, from our founders’ initial travels to the sourcing trips of our product designers, who are influenced by the country's vivid colours, silky textiles and glorious patterns. Known as the spice coast of India, Kerala is one such destination, blanketed in lush greenery, forests of spices, bounteous bazaars and a coastline with a rich history of spice trade. The Cardamom Hills (Yela Mala) – its mountain range – is home to many of the scents that make this candle fragrance, from cardamom itself to vanilla, clove, cedarwood and sandalwood.
