Yapemeyepuka, means ‘together’ in Yorta Yorta language and highlights the collaboration of Alkina Edwards (the young Aboriginal artist living on Yorta Yorta Country and the creative behind AlkinasCreations) and Grace + Marie (the business hand-pouring the candles on Wadawurrung Country) coming together to handcraft this limited-edition soy candle for you to enjoy.
We combined our artistic talents into one creative art piece that proudly displays Alkina's artwork front and centre on the label of our most popular scented candle, Kakadu Plum.
SCENT NOTES:
This gorgeous artist-inspired soy candle is Kakadu Plum scented - a robust, fruity fragrance with notes of passionfruit, guava and melon, highlighted with fresh lime resting on a base of coconut and tonka bean.

My candle is divine, and the aroma lingers long after the flame is blown out. Alkina's gorgeous artwork is perfect for it too. I plan on buying more.
