Serene and restorative, WATER is a candle by Homework for wisdom, stillness, and finding your flow. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Water element represents our deepest reservoir of strength and essential energy. In TCM, it is the element of Winter, governed by the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder. It is the guardian of our "Jing" (vital essence), helping us adapt to change with grace and resilience.

Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and the element of WATER, this fragrance flows with cool florals and soft aquatic notes to promote clarity and tranquility.

The scent of rain on dry earth, petrichor, meets bergamot and basil in a wave of calm. Caraway and cedarwood flow beneath, steady and quiet, like a deep, cleansing current. Fluid, cooling and deeply adaptive.

Key Notes:

Top: Bergamot, Neroli, Petitgrain
Middle: Rain, Lotus, Caraway, Basil
Base: Chinese Cedar, Sage, Petrichor

Vegan & cruelty-free / Hand crafted in the UK / Made with carefully selected natural essential oils and phthalate-free fragrances and accords / Glass bottle with wooden lid / Recyclable packaging
