Scent Notes
Petitgrain, Ozone, Sea Salt, Plum, Eucalyptus, Powder, Sandalwood, Dark Musk
Inspired by G.M. Flores’s Unsteady Waters, this fragrance is crafted to mirror the mood of a world caught between certainty and unknown depths. Like Echo’s journey, rooted in belonging yet pulled into unpredictable currents. Unsteady Waters opens with the invigorating sharpness of ozone and sea salt against aromatic petitgrain, as if standing at the edge of shifting tides. Cool plum and eucalyptus weave through the scent story, underpinned by soft powder and sandalwood, settling into a moody base of dark musk. It’s a scent built for moments when the narrative is unfolding, and the next page feels both inevitable and uncertain.

CANDLE FAQ:
Are your candles strongly scented?
Our candles are intentionally softly scented. They're designed to create a cozy, subtle ambiance—perfect for small spaces, quiet moments, and scent-sensitive homes. They won’t fill a large room, and that’s by design.
Why does my candle look slightly different than the photo?
Because we use natural beeswax and coconut oil, each candle may have small surface variations like frosting or texture shifts/cracks. These are normal characteristics of natural wax and do not affect performance.
Are your candles safe for scent-sensitive individuals?
Our candles are crafted with pure essential oils and toxin-free fragrance. They're designed to be gentle, but we always recommend testing in a small space if you're sensitive to scents.
