Kitchibe

Sakura Crinkle Candle

$55.00

Transient Cherry Blossoms

This candle's fragrance is inspired by hanami, the traditional Japanese custom of viewing cherry blossoms in early spring. Japanese cherry blossoms last for a mere two weeks, and this seasonal motif has become one of Japan's most symbolic aesthetics. The ceramic holder, which has been created by celebrated designer Makoto Komatsu, can be used over again in any number of ways. 

The candle is made using only domestically-sourced & plant-based ingredients, which allows them to burn cleaner while also emphasizing the beautiful, delicate scents.
