Category: Woody

TOP NOTES: Cardamom, Cypress
MIDDLE NOTES: Hinoki, Santal, Orris Root
BASE NOTE: Patchouli, Musk

Kyoto’s bathhouses, lined with fragrant hinoki, inspired this meditative blend of soothing woods. Top notes of fresh cypress and a hint of cardamom open up to a woody heart of fresh hinoki, creamy santal, and powdery orris root, while a background of earthy patchouli and musk add balance and depth.

Made in Brooklyn, New York with 100% soy wax for an eco-friendly clean burn. We use lead-free cotton wicks and premium fragrance oils infused with essential oils. Our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and petroleum-free.

Please keep in mind that because we use 100% soy wax, our candles are, by design, not as super strong as those made or enhanced with paraffin wax. Our reason for using pure soy wax is 1) because it is a sustainable ingredient and 2) because paraffin wax emits benzene and formaldehyde, known carcinogens, when burned. Unlike paraffin-based candles, our candles are designed to be friendly for fragrance-induced migraine and allergy sufferers and sensitive noses. Our candles are intended to complement, not overpower your space.

Nicholas ★★★★★

I lit this during my evening bath and the hinoki note genuinely transports me to a spa, not just a bedroom. The patchouli base keeps it grounded so it never gets too sweet, and the throw fills the whole room without being overpowering. Definitely my new go-to for unwinding after work.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The patchouli and hinoki blend is exactly the kind of quiet, grounding scent I wanted for my office, and it fills the room without being pushy. Lit it during a rainy afternoon and the cardamom keeps it from feeling too heavy. I’ll be buying another once this one’s gone.

Eva ★★★★★

Burning this while I read in the evening is pure calm—the cardamom and cypress open bright, then it settles into that soft, earthy patchouli base that lingers for hours. It fills my whole living room nicely, and the throw is strong without being overwhelming.
