The Maho Gaiwan
For centuries, candles have been used as the light in the darkness of life and illuminating one’s spirituality through healing, purification and cleansing. MAHŌ introduces a candle series featuring the GAIWAN tea vessel and four unique fragrances now unlocked for the very first time.
Reflective of the ancient practice of savouring steeped tea leaves from the concave Gaiwan lid, please enjoy the fragrance of each MAHŌ Sensory Candle before igniting the aromas. Each vessel has been designed to be repurposed as a collectible statement piece or part of a modern teaware collection once burning is complete.
A curated artist collaboration featuring four distinct candle scents inspired by timeless memories unlocked by the GAIWAN, part of MAHŌ SENSORY luxury SENSORY CANDLE series, commissioned by Brandworks.
Evergreen
Artwork by Nani Puspasari
Reminiscent of a Spring garden and the smell of freshly cut grass, MAHŌ’s moment in time conjures the feeling of a lazy Sunday out in the garden with the fragrant florals in the air. Artist and illustrator, Nani Puspasari, beautifully prescribes her “Evergreen” floral statement in accordance with her whimsical and free-form style.
Dotted with rosemary and splashes of the pear tree and rose, Evergreen ignites nostalgic childhood memories, crisp weekend mornings, and balmy summer days. Reminiscent of backyard garden strolls, Evergreen guides you down a walk through fresh-cut grass and invigorating herbs waving through the breeze on an easy Sunday morning. Alive, vibrant, and full of earthy delight, Evergreen embodies nature, indoors.
