Tortoise General Soaps & Scents<Element Soy Candles

Japanese philosophy views the world in five unique elements: air, earth, fire, sky and water – in this order. These elements are commonly used throughout Buddhist architecture and now have inspired this line of pure soy candles. From spicy to refreshing, each scent provides a vivid illustration of each symbolic element and includes a Zen poem packaged within a beautiful handcrafted box.

Earth: A warm mix of cedar, jasmine, and fig notes
Fire: A slightly spicy combination of ginger, rose, and quince
