The same three live sessions on video, one-to-one with Bhumika. Your kit is couriered before Session 1, so you make alongside her from your own workspace, at your own pace.
A hands-on candle making and home fragrance class in Delhi, taught one-to-one at the same bench where Mikaya products are made. You pour, wick, blend and troubleshoot with Bhumika beside you, and your kit is handed over on the day.
The outcome
Not one recipe. Every major home fragrance product format is taught in full, covering materials, ratios, temperatures and troubleshooting, then worked through in the practical session, so you can make each one yourself and bring what goes wrong to the doubt session.
Wick sizing, full melt pool, clean burn and proper scent throw.
Beeswax pillars and hand-threaded tapers.
Moulded and sculptural forms. The peony is made in a dual effect.
Clamshell, scoopable and moulded formats.
Flameless wardrobe and room fragrance.
Reed blending, ratios and 60–90 day performance.
Room sprays are covered in the theory session too: carrier, alcohol ratio, fragrance load, and why they behave differently from wax.
The difference
Candles are one format out of six. A maker who only knows candles has one thing to sell.
| Mikaya Masterclass | A typical candle workshop | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Three live sessions, one-to-one, only you | Group class, or pre-recorded video |
| Products covered | Candles, wax melts, wax tablets, sachets, reed and car diffusers, plus room sprays | Candles |
| What you are given | Ratios, temperatures and the method to build your own | A recipe to follow |
| Materials | Over ₹3,500 worth of materials, included | Often extra, or a small sample pack |
| Tools | Weighing scale, infrared thermometer and heat gun, yours to keep | You buy your own scale and thermometer |
| Colour work | Seven techniques, and the timing each depends on | One or two effects |
| When it goes wrong | A dedicated live troubleshooting session after you practise | You are on your own |
| Sourcing | A directory of named Indian suppliers with MOQ guidance | Not covered |
| After it ends | Six months of call and WhatsApp support | It ends |

The craft
Six product families, not one. Each with its own wax, load and cure.
Every technique comes down to one thing: how far the last layer set before the next went in.
Build an original fragrance, document it, and reproduce it exactly next time.
Recognise a fault on sight and know its cause, instead of losing the batch.
Finish to a standard that holds up next to what is already on the shelf.
Buy from real suppliers at real prices, and keep the records that let you grow.
The format
All one-to-one, on video. You set the dates, including the gap before the doubt session, which happens when you've had time to practise.

Who teaches it
Bhumika Sadana · Founder, Mikaya India
Bhumika left a career in investment banking to build Mikaya. What came next was not a business. It was a year of research: sourcing wax, testing fragrance oils, rejecting most of it and starting again.
And a year spent learning why things fail. Why a candle tunnels. Why a beautiful pour frosts overnight. Why a wax tablet that fills a wardrobe reads as unscented in a living room. None of that is in a recipe. It is in the science underneath, and it is what took the longest to learn.
Every product on mikayaindia.com is formulated, tested and made by her. Over two thousand units have been made, packed and sold, all within a year.
That year is what you are buying. Not a recipe, but the twelve months it took to work out which recipe was worth having.
“I didn't leave finance to teach theory. I teach exactly what I make.”
The syllabus
Each one follows the same professional flow: raw materials → formulation → manufacturing → testing → troubleshooting → finishing.
What students say
Booked a 1:1 home fragrance session with Mikaya and I honestly didn’t expect it to be this detailed. We had a proper theory session first and then spent 3+ hours actually making products. They also provide the raw materials, so I didn’t have to arrange everything separately. What I liked most was that even after the sessions, I can message them on WhatsApp or call whenever I get stuck.
I was looking for something more practical than just a basic candle-making workshop and Mikaya’s masterclass was exactly that. The theory session covered all the basics and the practical was very hands-on. They also give a vendor list and all the raw materials needed for the sessions, which made things much easier.
What I really liked is that the support doesn’t just end after the class. We had a detailed theory session, a long practical session and then a separate doubt session where we could troubleshoot our issues. I’ve already reached out on WhatsApp and got a response almost instantly.
Really happy with the Mikaya masterclass. The practical session was my favourite and I liked that they gave all the raw materials and vendor details too. Very helpful overall.
Loved the 1:1 session with Mikaya. Everything was explained really well and I could ask as many doubts as I wanted. The support even after the class is honestly a big plus.

FAQ
Three live 1:1 video sessions. Session 1 is 2+ hours of theory: materials, fragrance, wax, wicks, ratios and formulation. Session 2 is a 3+ hour practical where you make alongside Bhumika. You then practise on your own, and Session 3 is a doubt and troubleshooting session. Outside the sessions you can call or WhatsApp us any time.
You set the pace. The three sessions are scheduled around your availability, and the gap before the doubt session is as long as you need to practise properly. Most students complete it within a few weeks.
Over ₹3,500 worth at retail prices, included in the fee: four waxes, six 20ml fragrance oils, diffuser base and DPG as carriers, three moulds, jars, diffuser bottles, clamshells, wicks, colour, embeds and finishing supplies, plus a digital weighing scale, an infrared thermometer and a heat gun that are yours to keep. There is nothing else to buy.
Yes. You receive a sourcing directory of named Indian suppliers with MOQ guidance, the ones we actually buy from, so you can source at real prices rather than retail.

All three sessions are live 1:1 video calls. Your kit is dispatched before Session 1, so during the practical you make alongside Bhumika at your own workspace with live guidance. You can also call or WhatsApp between sessions.
Six months of call and WhatsApp support after your sessions, plus the dedicated doubt session itself.
Yes, in person in Delhi, at the same price. Virtual sessions are open pan-India and internationally.
