WHY THIS SCENT?
As a college dropout who loved learning but hated school, I know what it feels like to be underestimated – especially when you decide to take an untraditional path in life. The Dropout is my pick for you because it’s bold, rebellious and has a rich inner quality to it. When I first burned this candle, I wasn’t expecting it to feel so warm and grounding, but that’s the thing about rebels – they’re always full of surprises.

WHY THIS SCENT?
Around the time I dreamt up this scent, I was listening to a lot of Christine and the Queens. There’s a fluidity to the artist that feels captivating and completely natural all at once. I wanted to capture this in a scent – something that’s neither masculine nor feminine, but a blend of both that shifts slightly every time you smell it. It’s soft and romantic, confident and mysterious, dark and intense. It’s my interpretation of “je ne sais quoi” in a fragrance.

WHY THIS SCENT?
Heatwave began as a vision in my imagination: a hot summer day, the delight of a sudden rainshower while the sun is out, humidity, a garden bursting with green herbs, wet earth, bare feet, a flowy linen dress, the feeling of total presence. To me, this scent captures the dreamy optimism of a perfect afternoon. It’s pure bliss.

WHY THIS SCENT?
This scent is my pick for you because I suspect that if you’ve landed here, you’re a connoisseur of coziness like myself. Imagine walking into your favorite coffee shop, bundled in a snuggly sweater and ordering your usual. That’s how The Usual feels and I think you’ll fall head over heels for it.

WHY THIS SCENT?
I’m going to be honest: one of my favorite things to do is absolutely nothing. I love the feeling of climbing into a fluffy bed with crisp, clean sheets, watching my favorite TV shows and just luxuriating. I’ve chosen Duvet Day for you because it smells like something between a fancy spa and your favorite sweatshirt just out of the dryer. It’s delightfully calming and the ultimate “me time” fragrance.

WHY THIS SCENT?
Mixed Feelings was inspired by a lot of my personal memories – one of them being going to Temple with my mom and Kun Yai on weekends as a child. I saw my grandmother open up with confidence at Temple and it was clear she felt at home amongst her Thai community. I remember the abundant smell of incense, rice, and fresh fruits, which I think this fragrance captures so perfectly. This is my pick for you because it’s equal parts beautiful, peaceful and unapologetically unique.
