Pear · Praline · Vanilla Orchid

A Softer Hour moves from the fresh clarity of pear, lavender and bergamot into a creamier blend of whipped cream accord, coconut, praline and vanilla orchid. Musk and woods bring balance to the sweetness, leaving the fragrance warm, rounded and polished.

Light it as late afternoon turns into evening—while setting the table, settling in after dinner, or stretching out a weekend at home. Fruity at first and creamy through the centre, it settles into the room with the grounded warmth of musk and woods.

One of ORYAORI’s sweeter fragrances, A Softer Hour is made for anyone who enjoys a gourmand candle with depth rather than an overt bakery character. Hand-poured in Christchurch, New Zealand, using 100% natural soy wax. Presented in a brown glass vessel with a natural cork lid and ORYAORI kraft paper outer box.

Scent profile

Fruity, creamy and gently woody. Pear and bergamot keep the opening clear, while praline, coconut, whipped cream accord and vanilla orchid create an enveloping gourmand centre. Lavender, musk and woods keep the composition balanced.

How long will my candle burn?

Our 180g soy candles offer up to 25 hours of burn time. Actual burn time may vary depending on how you use and care for your candle.

How should I care for my candle?

Trim the wick to around 5mm before each burn. On the first burn, allow the wax to melt close to the edges of the jar to help prevent tunnelling. Always burn on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, and never leave a candle unattended.

How strong is the fragrance?

Each fragrance has its own character, and how noticeable it feels can vary depending on room size, airflow and personal preference. We recommend starting in a smaller space to enjoy the scent.
