SELECTED BY TENO
Where METAL sharpens and EARTH grounds, WOOD opens. It's the candle for beginnings - a new project, a new week, a moment of creative energy finding its direction. Pine and Hinoki open like a forest after rain. Earthy and green without ever becoming heavy. The candle you light when you need space to think.
Hinoki is what convinced us - a Japanese cypress used in temples and sacred spaces, rarely found in home fragrance. Combined with pine, ho leaf, cypress and a grounded base of cedar and vetiver, the result is a fragrance that feels genuinely natural. Not synthetic green, not artificial forest. Close to the real thing. Homework's Wood is the most distinctive scent in the collection precisely because it doesn't try to be pleasant - it tries to be honest.
- Creates an atmosphere of openness and creative clarity - suited to mornings, new projects or spaces where you want to think freely
- Burns cleanly and evenly - natural wax base, no paraffin or synthetic additives
- Evolves as it burns - crisp and green at first, earthier and quieter as the base notes emerge
100% Natural Rapeseed & Coconut Wax
Cleaner burning than paraffin - lower melting point allows the fragrance to diffuse gently and evenly.
