It arrived safe and sturdy, and the packaging was done carefully.
The brand name Offgray is printed on top of the package, with the typography getting thicker and thicker! It's a tiny detail, but I enjoy things like this.
What kind of candle brand is Offgray?
Offgray introduces itself as a brand that blends healthy scents itself, based on the treatments of Eastern medicine. The packaging is simple and clean 𖧁୧ Offgray's story is that it isn't just about a nice smell, but about making a distinctive, healthy scent.
They say they pursue balance with nature and use only 100% natural fragrance oils extracted from plants. Maybe because it's made with natural essential oils carrying the energy of nature rather than artificial synthetic fragrances, even I, who am sensitive to scents, am happily sniffing away!
How is the Yin-Yang Five Elements season line divided?
The Offgray Yin-Yang Five Elements season line turns the five elements and the changing seasons into scent, in five candles: SPRING, SUMMER, BETWEEN, AUTUMN and WINTER. I found this fun, which is why I picked it! According to the brand, five emotions (joy, anger, sorrow, worry or anxiety, and fear or dread) are each closely connected to an organ.
- Wood 木 (anger) → liver 肝 SPRING
- Fire 火 (joy) → heart 心 SUMMER
- Earth 土 (worry) → spleen 脾 BETWEEN
- Metal 金 (sorrow) → lung 肺 AUTUMN
- Water 水 (fear) → kidney 腎 WINTER
Of them all, I chose SUMMER, whose scent I liked and whose description impressed me most. For a heart full of joy, a strong heart it is! ✡✡ (And above all, it's summer, so, summer.)
- SUMMER Fire 火 (joy) → heart 心
- Boosts confidence, happiness and self-expression
- Lavender, Geranium, Clary Sage, Grapefruit
An instruction leaflet is included too. It also describes Offgray's other products, not just the soy wax candles, so what a thoughtful brand!
What does the Offgray SUMMER candle smell like?
The Offgray SUMMER scent is a floral that evokes elegant, deep flowers, with the sweetness of grapefruit added. According to the brand, the calm floral notes of geranium and clary sage help release tension and open a closed heart.
They say the sweetness of grapefruit blends with the fragrant floral notes to lift the spirits and bring a feeling of fulfilling happiness ✿ܓ
Does it smell different before and while burning?
Unburned, in its solid state, the Offgray SUMMER candle feels strongly citrusy, and when burned the floral scent gets stronger. In perfume I like heavy scents with presence, but for candles and room sprays at home I always prefer something never heavy, never strong, just soft and gentle.
By that standard, SUMMER is a scent that's comfortable to leave burning, so I think I'll stay attached to it for a long, long time.
Burn it with a flame or use a warmer?
Offgray soy candles can be burned with a flame, or if you have a warmer, used gently on that! I like burning it with the crackling sound more 🕯️
How are the jar design and 180g size?
The Offgray Yin-Yang Five Elements candle comes in a translucent glass container. The design is pretty and stylish, so even when it isn't lit it works as an object. The generous 180g size is also something I like.. ❤︎
Is it a good ₩50,000-range housewarming gift?
At ₩54,000, the Offgray Yin-Yang Five Elements soy candle also works as a housewarming gift in the ₩50,000 range. It could be fun to give it as a way of filling in a missing element (for anyone who loves saju, Korean astrology, and the five elements 🙋♀️).
Lit together with a small lamp, the scent spreads softly, and I feel lazy, relaxed and healed.
Where can you buy Offgray candles?
Offgray products can also be bought on Musinsa and 29cm. Let's enjoy a healthy aroma life together with Offgray candles, made with the five elements and aromatherapy in mind ⌒_⌒
