Hana No Yūgen (10 oz)
There is a moment in early spring when cherry blossoms are not yet falling—
but they are no longer buds.
The air is cool.
The wood beneath the trees is damp.
Petals hover, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Hana no Yūgen captures that pause.
Inspired by the quiet paths of Kyoto at dawn, this scent opens with translucent cherry blossom and bright yuzu drifting through morning air. Hinoki wood and bamboo emerge slowly, grounding the florals in living earth and temple timber. As the flame settles, soft sandalwood, white tea musk, and ambrette melt into the skin—warm, intimate, and fleeting.

A little care makes every lighting a beautiful ritual.
- Trim before lighting. Keep the wick trimmed to ¼ inch and remove any debris from the wax.
- Allow an even melt. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt across the surface to help minimize tunneling. Never burn longer than 4 hours at a time.
- Choose the right setting. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts and at least 12 inches from flammable objects.
- Burn with care. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets.
- Extinguish gently. Use a candle snuffer, confirm the flame is fully extinguished, and allow the vessel and wax to cool completely before handling. Never use water.
- Know when to stop. Discontinue burning when ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom.
