The collection features three distinct scents – Vasta, Kōdō, and Flore. Each fragrance is housed
in a vessel created by Sara Flynn, finished with glazed colours carefully chosen to reflect and
complement the scent profiles.
Vasta is a dark and smoky scent with fresh wood notes, capturing the glow of embers in a wood-
fired sauna. Notes of eucalyptus add clarity to this deep fragrance.
Notes
Top: Eucalyptus, fir balsam, raspberry
Heart: Birch, moss, coumarin
Base: Cade, cedarwood, vanilla
Kōdō is a well-rounded and complex scent that evokes the atmosphere of incense burning in a
temple. With a sweet and spiced woody accord, it has notes of cardamom, carrot, and fig.
Notes
Top: Cardamom, carrot, fig
Heart: Sandalwood, iris, cedarwood, cashmere wood
Base: Musk, amber, papyrus, leather
Flore is bright and floral, like a breeze through a golden meadow in the afternoon sun. A burst
of citrus and bergamot is complemented by vegetal and floral notes to capture the freshness of
nature.
Notes
Top: Citrus, bergamot, vegetal, anise
Heart: Lily Of The Valley, mimosa, poppy, violet
Base: Cashmere wood, musk
All three scents are introduced in one size, 270g, with refillable candles available for purchase.

Care
- When burning, always melt the candle’s surface entirely and allow it to solidify before re-lighting.
- Keep the wick trimmed to 5 mm to avoid smoke or overheating.
- Gently re-centre the wick while the wax is still liquid to ensure the candle burns evenly.
- When around 5 mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel or the metal wick support is visible, the candle is finished.
- To remove wax residue, place the vessel in a bowl of 60°C water. The water should reach halfway up the height of the vessel. Leave for 2 minutes or until the wax is soft.
- Lift the vessel out of the water. Run the end of a round-tipped knife around the edge of the softened wax. Slide the knife under the wax and gently lift it out. The wax can be disposed of with general waste.
- Using a round-tipped knife, gently pry the metal wick support from the bottom.
- Wash and dry the inside of the vessel.
