Honest Craft, Elevated Ritual
Each candle is poured with clean soy wax and blended with pure essential oils — no synthetic fragrance.
Our founder, En Tsao, explains the beneficial qualities of an essential oil vs. fragrance candle in this article.
This set includes scents across mood spectrums — lively, cozy, earthy — allowing you to shift ambiance with intention.
Key Ingredients & Qualities
– Soy & Coconut Wax: Clean-burning, plant-based, with a low melt point for better scent throw.
– Essential Oils: No fragrance oils or synthetics — just pure botanicals.
– Thoughtful Pairing: Scents chosen to harmonize rather than compete — for layering or solo use.
Your Ambient Compass
In essence, these candles are small beacons: designed to illuminate not just your space, but your interior life.
It’s not just about fragrance — it’s about giving your space clarity, warmth, and integrity in one flame.
Tangerine, Lemongrass, and Peppermint Blend
Top Notes: This vibrant fragrance opens with a bright and zesty burst of tangerine, instantly awakening the senses with its sweet, citrusy aroma. The effervescent scent of tangerine not only uplifts the spirit but also sets a cheerful tone, inviting a sense of joy and positivity into the space.
Middle Notes: As the tangerine begins to settle, the heart of the blend reveals the fresh, herbal essence of lemongrass, which adds a crisp and slightly spicy dimension. This invigorating note enhances the citrus profile, creating a harmonious balance that feels both refreshing and cleansing. The combination of tangerine and lemongrass provides an energizing quality that revitalizes the mind and body.
Base Notes: The fragrance is enriched by the cooling aroma of peppermint, which emerges as a lower note, providing a refreshing and minty finish. Peppermint's invigorating essence complements the bright citrus and grassy notes, imparting a crisp clarity that enlivens the senses and calms the mind.
Our scents are concocted with pure essential oils, resulting in a subtle scent throw that is non-intrusive and lingers gently. We do not use fragrances or isolates.
In-house coconut and soy wax blend, pure essential oils, Annatto seeds (plant dye), and organic botanicals (decorative).

Together, these three scents create an uplifting essence that transports you to a sunlit grove, where every inhale feels like a refreshing breeze kissed by the warmth of a summer's day.
CANDLE CARE 101
Your candle's longevity and health lies in the first session of lighting your candle.
To give it it's best life:
1. Let the wax melt evenly across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the vessel. This is good practice, but only necessary for the first burn. You can be more lenient with subsequent burns.
2. Do not extinguish the flame pre-maturely. Extinguishing it pre-maturely will result in wax tunneling - the wax inside the candle burning in a smaller diameter that doesn't reach the edges of the vessel - which shortens the burn time of the candle considerably.
I’ve got to say, I was gifted one of these candles at a holiday swap, and then bought the larger size after I had burned through the first one in record time. This is one of the most welcoming and comforting scents I have ever smelled, there is nothing “fake“ about it. Embarrassed to leave a review since one of my best friends owns a high-end candle company!
