The story behind Malohana
Our story doesn't begin with a product.
It begins with a feeling.
With three words that changed us:
Aloha. Mahalo. ʻOhana.
Three terms that are more than just words.
They stand for an attitude. For a way of life. For what truly matters.
Aloha – love, openness, a true heart.
Mahalo – gratitude for the small things.
ʻOhana – closeness, warmth, and the feeling of belonging.
When we first felt this spirit on our honeymoon in Hawaii, we knew:
We want to take this feeling with us.
Into our daily lives.
Into our home.
Into the small moments that often pass too quickly.
And that's exactly how Malohana was born.
A name that didn't exist before –
created from Mahalo, Aloha, and ʻOhana.
And today, it stands for what we want to share:
Moments of calm. Warmth. Connection.
Our scented candles and wax melts are more than just a beautiful fragrance.
They are small anchors in everyday life.
A moment to breathe.
A feeling of home.
A conscious pause in an often too-fast world.
Every scent is chosen not just to smell good –
but to evoke something within you.
Lightness.
Mindfulness.
Security.
Who is behind Malohana
We are Sabine and Thorsten – a small family business near Potsdam.
With a lot of heart, a lot of attention to detail
and our four-legged team member Chester, who is always somewhere with us.
Malohana is not a mass-produced product.
It is our passion project.
And perhaps it will also become a small part of your home.
Malohana is for you if you…
… consciously want to take time for yourself
… want to make your home a place that feels good
… want to appreciate small moments more
… are looking for things that aren't loud – but move something within you
Then you've come to the right place.
Then you are not just a customer –
but part of ʻOhana.
Mahalo for being here.
Welcome to Malohana.
