About Feel Ordinary Life Aromatic Candles
Feel Ordinary Life is a set of scented candles shaped like ginger, garlic and scallions, three common ingredients of Chinese cooking. The candles are handmade and moulded to copy the natural form of each plant. Each candle holds its own blend of essential oils. The ginger candle carries floral and fruity notes, while the scallion candle carries woody and floral notes. The asymmetrical shapes make every candle burn in a different way as the wax melts. The design links familiar kitchen forms with a refined scent experience.

- 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.
