ALOHA SCENT Island Candles & Gifts Shop

Aloha Scent makes hand-poured soy candles with island-inspired scents such as Plumeria, Gardenia, Pikaki, Maui, Kauai and Lavender, using soy wax, cotton wicks and fragrance oils. The candles are said to burn for up to 90 hours or more. The shop also carries aloha shirts, aloha dresses, leis, sun-bun hats, hair clips and jewelry.

Orders can be placed online, and the storefront is in the Village at Mira Mesa shopping center on Mira Mesa Boulevard in San Diego. Many of the apparel, lei and accessory items are sold only in the store, so a visit is the way to see the full selection. Purchases are non-refundable and can be exchanged only.
