Feel Ordinary Life

Aromatic Candles for Yepspace

Inspired by the ubiquitous ingredients of Chinese cuisine, ginger, garlic, and scallions, this scented candle reimagines these familiar forms into a unique and artistic olfactory experience. By blending traditional Chinese culture with contemporary design, we have created a product that offers a feast for both the eyes and the nose. For example, the ginger shaped candle features a blend of floral and fruity notes, while the scallion shaped candle offers a woody and floral combination. This unexpected pairing of scents and forms creates a truly unforgettable sensory experience.

Production Technology

The handmade candles are meticulously crafted to replicate the exact shape of ginger, garlic, and scallions. Each candle is infused with a unique blend of essential oils, carefully curated to capture the essence of these culinary staples. The ginger candle features top notes of aldehydes, pear, and lily-of-the-valley, middle notes of iris, rose, and orange, and base notes of musk, patchouli, and abelmoschus. The garlic candle opens with a fresh blend of coriander, lavender, and white pine, followed by a spicy heart of nutmeg, pepper, and hemlock, and a woody base of iris, musk, and cedarwood. The scallion candle begins with citrusy top notes of bergamot, cardamom, and vetiver, transitioning to a heart of sandalwood, cypress, and abelmoschus, and finishing with a soft base of white musk, violet, and patchouli.

Design Challenge

The mold-making process is very difficult, requiring absolute precision to ensure a natural, vivid, and lifelike reproduction of the plant's form

Project Duration

This limited-edition gift is exclusively available at Tsutaya Books, OoEli, Hangzhou from April 2023 to April 2024.

Operation Flow

Due to the asymmetrical shapes of the ginger, garlic, and scallion, each candle burns uniquely, constantly evolving as the wax melts. Every lighting is a surprising work of art.

Inspiration

Inspired by the everyday habits of Chinese people, this product offers a surprising twist on the familiar. By transforming the pungent ingredients of ginger, garlic, and scallions into elegant candles, we create a stark contrast between the expected and the unexpected. This unexpected juxtaposition of form and function is designed to spark curiosity and delight.
