Atmosphere: Zen like Peace
Fragrance Pyramid:
- Top: Fresh Bamboo, Chamomile Roman
- Heart: Jasmine Sambac, Vanilla\
- Base: Sandalwood, Amber, Ayur Musk
It opens with a gentle breath of fresh bamboo, green and dewy that unfolds like morning mist over stone. There's a soft, grassy clarity that clears the mind, as if stepping barefoot onto a temple path.
Soon, the scent deepens. Chamomile drifts in like the hush of still water, followed by jasmine that sits a quiet but luminous bloom held in meditation. Vanilla lingers beneath, not sweet, but warm and familiar, like sunlight through the trees.
As it settles, smooth and grounding sandalwood anchors the air. Amber glows just beneath the surface, giving warmth without weight. A trace of Ayurvedic musk hums through it all, making the moment sacred and enduring.
The overall experience is slow and centering. A moment not of escape, but of return to stillness, and to self.
Instructions
Remove all packaging before lighting. For best performance trim the wick to ¼ inch before each use. To extend the life of your candle, allow the surface wax to melt completely during the first burn. Limit each burn session to a few hours. Cease use when approximately ½ inch of wax remains.
Warnings
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, flammable objects, and drafts. Use only on a heat-resistant surface. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Not for ingestion. Residual wax may become hot - handle with care. Dispose responsibly
Designed to Be Kept
Our glass jars are made for reuse, long after the candle has burned. The electroplated finish is durable and designed to live on in your space.
The outer packaging is designed to be reused for keepsakes or recycled when no longer needed. A protective foam insert is used only where necessary to ensure the candle arrives safely.

Kyoto Zen Garden | Luxury Soy Wax Candle
Top Notes
Fresh Bamboo, Chamomile Roman
Feeling: Clarity
Bamboo opens the fragrance with a green, crystalline freshness like breathing in after gentle rain. Chamomile follows, soft and settling, like the stillness of a shaded courtyard at dawn. The moment feels pure and unhurried, a clearing of the mind before the day begins.
Heart Notes
Jasmine Sambac, Vanilla
Feeling: Serenity
Jasmine blooms gently at the heart, unspoken like a pause held in prayer. Vanilla hums beneath it, delicate and warm, never sweet, just close. Together they evoke stillness in motion, the feeling of sitting quietly beside beauty that needs no words.
Base Notes
Sandalwood, Amber, Ayur Musk
Feeling: Grounded Peace
Sandalwood spreads like smooth and steady polished wood under bare feet. Amber lends a soft amber glow, like candlelight touching ancient walls. Ayur Musk lingers with skin-warm subtlety, a breath that stays. The feeling is one of deep calm, rooted in silence.

FAQs
What makes this candle different from regular scented candles?
Every candle is composed using a fragrance pyramid, much like fine perfumery. The scent unfolds in stages, with top notes creating the first impression, heart notes shaping the character, and base notes providing depth and longevity. Designed around atmosphere rather than intensity, the fragrance evolves naturally over the burn. From the wax blend to the scent balance, every detail supports a clean burn, smooth melt, and a refined, room filling presence that feels intentional, elevated, and quietly luxurious rather than just decorative or overpowering.
How strong is the fragrance throw?
Each candle is formulated to deliver both a noticeable cold throw and a balanced hot throw. Unlit, the fragrance is softly present in the room. When lit, the scent opens gradually as the wax warms, allowing the fragrance to diffuse evenly without becoming overwhelming. This layered release creates a lasting atmosphere that feels considered rather than intense.
How do I choose the right scented candle for my space or mood?
Begin with the olfactive family that reflects how you want a space to feel, whether fresh and airy, warm and comforting, or woody and grounding. Each product page provides clear details about the mood and natural setting behind the fragrance, helping you understand the atmosphere it creates before you light it. This allows you to choose a scent that aligns naturally with your space and state of mind.
How long does the candle burn?
With proper care, each candle offers an approximate burn time of 80-90 hours. The soy wax formulation burns slowly and evenly, allowing the fragrance to unfold over time while maintaining a stable flame and clean performance across multiple burns.
Are these candles made with essential oils or fragrance oils?
Our candles are crafted using high-quality fragrance oils, selected specifically for candle performance. Fragrance oils provide a stronger, more consistent throw and remain stable at candle-burning temperatures.
Essential oils, while natural, tend to evaporate quickly, degrade with heat, and do not perform reliably in candles. Using fragrance oils allows us to deliver a refined, long-lasting scent experience that remains true from the first burn to the last.
What if a fragrance isn’t right for me?
Fragrance is deeply personal, and we want you to discover the scents that truly feel right for you. If a fragrance doesn’t resonate, our Returns and Credits Policy is designed to be simple and respectful, so you can explore with confidence. You can review the full details and next steps on our Returns & Credits page.
