Description

Shorai, Japanese for future, is a karesansui-style landscape of stones, a waterfall and a tea pavilion in Florence, reflecting the sister city relationship between Florence and Kyoto established in 1965. Città di Kyoto draws on its botanical character, carrying a composition of green tea, bamboo, cherry blossom, white flowers, iris, sandalwood and musk. Ø 7,5 cm H 7 cm

How to use

Place on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. On first use, allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface. Trim the wick to 3-5 mm before each use and keep it centred. Do not burn for more than three hours at a time. Extinguish with a candle snuffer. Never leave unattended, and do not move while lit or while the wax remains liquid.

Andrew ★★★★★

I lit this one while reading and the green tea and bamboo came through right away, but the sandalwood settles in underneath and makes the whole room feel calm. The throw is strong for a candle this size, I could smell it from the hallway.

Robert ★★★★★

I lit this during a rainy afternoon and the green tea and bamboo notes made the whole room feel calm and grounded, like stepping into a garden after a storm. The sandalwood and musk linger nicely in the hallway even after I blow it out.

Ava ★★★★★

The scent is incredibly layered—the green tea comes through first, then the sandalwood and musk settle in for a warm, soft finish that lasted hours after I blew it out. It genuinely feels like a calm garden in the middle of a busy evening, and the iris adds just enough elegance. I'm already planning
