About Kaiyu Studio

For the longest time within the fragrance industry, ‘oriental’ has been the term used to describe scents from the East. This term is so incredibly vague; it’s simply a generic catchall that’s not enough to categorise and represent the unique fragrance notes in every beautiful culture. We’re on a mission to establish a presence for the scents and aromas that we are used to smelling within our Asian households; that are also currently under-represented within the candle industry. Based in Manchester, we wanted to operate in a way that minimises our impact on the environment while providing highly scented, premium quality wax products and gifts.

Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Coconut & Soy Wax Wood Wick Candle - 240g

The Sakura (or Cherry Blossom) is a symbol of Japanese culture, celebrated each spring through festivals known as Hanami. Revered for their stunning yet fleeting beauty, the Sakura Blossoms have become symbolic of the impermanence of beauty. Featured in works of art, from paintings to tattoos, the Sakura represents the Japanese concept of ‘mono no aware’; the wistful realisation that ‘nothing lasts forever’. Capture the ephemeral beauty of the Sakura Blossom with our Sakura candle. A canopy of glorious pink flowers is created with an enchanting blend of Cherry Blossom, White Florals, Violet and Rose. Depth is created with a base of Sandalwood and Musk, while lively notes of Fresh, Green, Lemon and Red Fruit notes infuse this candle with vibrancy and joy.
