The Five Elements Scented Candles
The Five Elements is a collaboration between perfumer Pauline Rochas and multidisciplinary artist Tasya van Ree. Rochas explores healing through ancient wisdom and rituals of scent while van Ree's artwork is infused with mystical messages and otherworldly elements. Both are inspired by the power of nature.
The five scented candles represent the five elements of nature: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Ether. When lit, these scents recall a primordial worship to the gods and echo the infinite mystery of Mother Earth. The Five Elements pair beautifully with the use of The Untamed Elemental 52-Card Oracle Deck, also designed by Tasya van Ree.
Air
Cistrus scents layer this candle. They are light, airy and fresh. Uplifting. Through their bright and invigorating aspects, they have a positive effect on wellbeing and clarify thought. To experience air, simply start by breathing.
Fire
The dark leather accord of this scented candle emanates a smoky burnt wood which is animalic, resinous and sensual. Together with an incense note, they burn to unite our divine with our desires.
Earth
This candle features woody notes form tall trees with deep and sturdy roots. Labdanum, Oud and Patchouli add animalic, musky and leathery facets. We can feel the soil below our feet and know that we are supported.
Water
This candle captures a promise of floral earthy freshness as the rain soaks the soil. Spicy ingredients add invigoration. We too can let water wash over us and be regenerated.
Ether
At the heart of this candle burns the uplifting "Immortelle" also known as the everlasting flower. It has a light and bright quality. In ancient times this flower was offered to the gods - creating a connection between the physical and spiritual. Feel the pause between breaths and experience a sense of higher consciousness.
