Wiks

Wiki Lewer: Crafting Culture, Wellness and Story Through Scent Visionary entrepreneur and keeper of Māori traditions, Wiki Lewer is the creative mind behind Wiks – a luxury home fragrance brand that goes beyond the everyday. More than just candles and room sprays, Wiks products are sensory stories, each one carefully crafted to honour whakapapa (ancestral connections), personal healing and those quiet moments that stay with us. Born and raised in Aotearoa, Wiki’s journey to creating Wiks was deeply personal – a blend of cultural rediscovery, wellbeing and the transformative power of fragrance. Drawing from her Māori heritage and her own path of self-reflection, she built a brand where scent becomes a bridge between past and present, memory and moment. “I draw on spaces, places and times that recharge my wairua (spirit),” Wiki explains. Inspired by the fresh energy of spring – a season of both personal and shared renewal – her creations capture Aotearoa’s stunning landscapes and the warmth of whānau (family) gatherings. Every scent is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with what matters. Wiks isn’t just a home fragrance range; it’s a celebration of Māori creativity, made for those who want meaning in their daily rituals. Each candle and diffuser carries cultural storytelling, mixing traditional knowledge with modern craftsmanship. From the earthy richness of native plants to the clean calm of ocean air, Wiki’s work turns any space into a place of memory and belonging. As part of a new wave of Indigenous creators, Wiki is reshaping what it means to live and shop with care. Her work shows how luxury can be sustainable, authentic and deeply tied to culture. For Wiki, Wiks is more than a brand – it’s a way to pause in a busy world, to honour the stories carried in scent and to keep Māori traditions alive in everyday life. Each product is designed to lift the senses while nurturing the spirit. In a world that never slows down, Wiks offers a small escape – a chance to reconnect with the land, with heritage and with yourself. For those who believe in the art of fragrance and the power of cultural legacy, Wiks isn’t just a candle. It’s a taonga (treasure) in the making. Experience the heart of Aotearoa. Breathe deep. Feel deeply.
