Sugared Grapefruit
A perfect combination of fruity floral aroma with gentle bursts of grapefruit and sugar-cane essence to create a uniquely fresh fragrance. The sugar warms the sour and bitter notes to create the sweet and tangy perfect combination of this grapefruit fragrance.
Pink Champagne
A bracing, delightful fruity fragrance instantly energizes, spraying the joyful sweetness of apple, cassis, and orange. The sour taste of lychee is softened by musk, while a subtle touch of red berries brightens the composition further.
Agarwood (OUD)
In the deep winter, open the heavy curtains and push the window. Feel the breeze bring light fragrance. When deep breathing, aroused the heart full of anticipation and joy fragrance. Occasionally turn around, smell the calm and deliberate wood fragrance of the attic that has not been taken care of for a long time. Rekindling the fire and feeling the warmth of long-lost patchouli.
Wild Lemongrass
It's an exploration of natural citrus notes and floral aroma. Amplifying the lime and lemon with sandalwood creates a long-lasting presence. The upbeat and exhilarating smell rests on the plush heart of rose and lemongrass.
Cashmere Lilac
The smell of Lilac combined with cashmere is like kicking back, getting cozy, and embracing the warmth you feel wrapped up in your favourite blanket. This fresh scent conjures a sophisticated scent with a blend of lilac to make up the fresh exotic notes in this amazing fragrance.
Orange Blossom
Refreshing citrusy bergamot unfolds into dazzling white flowers of delicate orange blossom and elegant lily of the valley. The floral scents reveal their charming and luminous nature. The elusive jasmine and orchid give a taste of warmth in the end and make the candle more relaxing.
Jasmyn
Dazzling orange gives a warm welcome along with juicy grape in the very beginning. It then transforms into a fascinating and affluent floral scent of tuberose and ylang-ylang, leaving a charming fragrant trail of silky creamy notes and reminiscent pine behind.
Palo Santo
The rich spicy notes of clove and nutmeg deliver warmness in the peaceful night. Feel the serene atmosphere created by cedarwood and patchouli, while the tranquility was interrupted by an unexpected arrival of geranium. The enchantment of the night was further increased by the peaceful sandalwood and caring vanilla.
Le Vanille
A mix of heart-melting maple and creamy buttery note evokes memories of the happiest moments in daily life. The sweetness of vanilla, coconut, and caramel takes you to a gorgeous wonderland, giving an illusion of universal peace. The scent then becomes more lingering as cozy tonka leaves on the skin, bringing a touch of tenderness and joy.
Teakwood & Tobacco
Earthy tones of leather, teak, and orange.
Secret Gardenia
Indulge the spring that has sprung on the hills. Opening with a fresh blast of bergamot and clove, the scent spreads out like wildflowers. Then the vibrant hyacinth twists with a soft blend of lilac and lavender that gives off a pure gentle feeling. The paired orange flower and honey bring a velvety touch, so soft and warm, leaving you immersed in this amazing spring.

This isn't the first time - and it certainly won't be the last time - we chat about the weird names that some items of clothing have. We've mentioned things like jumpers and sweaters, and questioned why they're called those things, when they certainly don't jump or sweat, respectively. Don't even get us started on clothes like clam diggers and pedal pushers. Seriously, who digs for clams? Where is this beach where people are doing so?
When it comes to shoes, the names get a little simpler. Like, you get hiking boots (for hiking), running shoes (for running) and tennis shoes (do we need to say it?) Of course, you then get sneakers, and we simply can't help but wonder where they're sneaking to? Well, if they're anything like our deal on these Japan S sneakers from ASICS, hopefully they'll be sneaking into your cart ASAP!
