A JOURNEY IN CANDLE CRAFT
At the heart of our new candle product lies a story of artistry, collaboration, and nature. We are thrilled to introduce a unique creation that merges form and function — each candle is encased in a handcrafted jar made in partnership with Muigom, an artisan dedicated to traditional techniques.
THE ARTISAN BEHIND THE CRAFT
At the heart of this endeavor is muigom, an artisan whose dedication and craftsmanship shine through in every jar he creates. With a deep respect for traditional techniques and a passion for working with Vietnamese materials, muigom brings a unique touch to his art. He approaches his work with a quiet confidence, valuing simplicity and authenticity in each piece. As a generous teacher, he shares his knowledge with others, fostering a sense of community among aspiring artisans. We feel incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with muigom, as he inspires us to appreciate the beauty in the handmade and the stories that each jar tells.

THE ART OF THE JAR
Each jar is a unique work of art. Made entirely from black clay, a natural material with a deep, dark color, these jars have a striking, contemporary appearance. Due to its composition, black clay becomes stronger, more durable, and retains heat better when fired at the right temperature. When processed under a gas stove, which offers advantages in precise temperature control and energy efficiency, the final pieces achieve the desired hardness, texture, and color. No two jars are the same, ensuring that each piece is one-of-a-kind. Waa and muigom team decided on this approach so that every candle serves not only as a sensory experience but also as a lasting treasure. Once the candle has burned down, the jar can be refilled for further use or repurposed as a statement piece for your space.
THE ARTISAN BEHIND THE CANDLE
Having the chance to reconnect with Quy Nguyen — our brother, doctor, and artisan — is a true joy. He is truly an artisan whose dedication and skill in crafting natural essential oils are remarkable. He has spent years perfecting his craft, sourcing ingredients primarily from Da Lat, a breathtaking landscape renowned for its exceptional botanicals. This deep connection to his craft and the land informs every aspect of the candles he creates, infusing them with both quality and care. It is a privilege to collaborate with Quy Nguyen, whose artistry enhances our candles and deepens the connection to nature.

THE ESSENCE OF THE CANDLE
Inside this handcrafted jar rests a candle that reflects a commitment to natural ingredients. Crafted with 100% natural soy wax and a soft cotton wick, this candle fills your space with a balanced scent. The aroma is inspired by the traditional Fougère family—a delicate blend of fresh green herbs, warm woods, damp earth, and vibrant florals. This combination invites a sense of nature into your home, reminding you of peaceful landscapes and quiet moments. As the candle burns, it offers more than just an aromatic experience; it’s an invitation to pause and reflect. The natural essential oils provide a gentle way to unwind, helping to restore energy after a busy day. Each candle tells a story of care and connection to the earth, enriching homes with both beauty and purpose. Experience the journey in craft that transforms a simple candle into a meaningful addition to your sanctuary.
