Six months ago, I stumbled upon a YouTube video of someone making candles. The entire process, from selecting a fragrance, choosing the right wax and wick, to melting the wax at the perfect temperature, and then adding color and fragrance oils at just the right moment, intrigued me. The precision involved in the process—stirring neither too short nor too long—caught my attention as a stickler for detail. So, I thought to myself, let’s delve deeper into this. And that’s how I once again entered "Into The Wormhole" (more on this in another post ;-)).
There are more posts to come on this topic, where I’ll dive specifically into the types of wax, wicks, fragrances, and everything else I just mentioned, plus the conceptual thinking, design, and the final product launch. But first, let's talk about the candles I've started with, and the concept behind them. The launch collection, consisting of Bold Horizon, Outer Space, and Winter's Essence, is the culmination of months of dedicated craftsmanship and creative passion. Join me on a sensory journey.

The Inspiration Behind the Scent
My journey in creating 'Outer Space' has been nothing short of exhilarating.

Each layer of aroma weaves a tale of celestial wonders and unearthly delights, culminating in a unique olfactory experience.
A Symphony of Fragrant Notes
'Outer Space' is a carefully curated symphony of fragrances, each chosen and blended to ignite a sense of wonder. The adventure begins with lively top notes of rhubarb and grapefruit, intertwined with a hint of exotic anise seed. This vibrant introduction gives way to a heart of succulent strawberry, plum, and raspberry—conjuring images of a fruit-filled utopia, perfectly balanced with the spicy essence of anise. The journey culminates in a base of warm vanilla, musk, and cedar, creating a grounding yet enigmatic embrace.
