Ouka Cherry Blossom Candle – A Sophisticated Tribute to Japan’s Sakura Season

Spring in Japan is more than a season. It is a fleeting, poetic experience. Thousands gather in Washington, D.C., each year for the cherry blossom festival. This tradition mirrors Japan’s deep appreciation for these delicate blooms. The Ouka Candle captures this moment, inspired by sakura flowers drifting through the air at the Kamakura Shrine. With delicate floral notes balanced by soft woods and warm tonka bean, this fragrant flame is an ode to renewal, tranquility, and the quiet beauty of nature.

桜花 (Ouka) is one of the Japanese words for sakura flowers, a symbol of renewal and the fleeting beauty of life. In Japan, cherry blossoms are deeply tied to cultural traditions, poetry, and seasonal celebrations, inspiring contemplation and appreciation for the present moment. This essence of impermanence and elegance is woven into every detail of the Ouka Candle.

Cherry blossom season is brief yet unforgettable. Whether strolling beneath the sakura trees in the Tidal Basin of Washington, D.C. or walking through Kyoto’s historic temples, the sight and scent of these blossoms symbolize the beauty of impermanence. For just a few weeks each year, Japan’s streets, temples, and gardens transform into a dreamlike landscape of pink petals. The Ouka Candle brings this experience into your home. It lets you relive the gentle aroma of blooming sakura flowers with the crisp, ozonic freshness of spring air.

A Fragrance That Evokes Sakura flowers in Full Bloom

The Ouka Candle is more than just a floral fragrance. It is a carefully crafted scent story that unfolds in layers, reflecting the beauty and complexity of nature.

Top Notes: Ozone, Cherry Blossom, Magnolia – The initial impression is light, fresh, and airy, reminiscent of walking through a cherry blossom-lined street after a spring rain. Ozone adds a clean, crisp quality, while magnolia introduces a soft floral elegance.
Middle Notes: Rose, Cherry – At its heart, this soothing flame offers a delicate yet rich floral blend. The rose adds a classic, sophisticated depth, while cherry enhances the sweetness of the blossoms without overpowering the composition.
Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Sandalwood – As the molten glow burns, its foundation emerges with smooth, grounding warmth. Tonka bean adds a touch of creamy sweetness, while sandalwood provides a refined, woody balance that lingers gently in the air.

Each note is carefully chosen to create a balanced fragrance. It is neither too sweet nor overpowering. It mirrors the delicate scent of sakura flowers in full bloom. The result is a votive that feels fresh, elegant, and effortlessly timeless.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Soothing Flame

To ensure an optimal burning experience and longevity, follow these best practices:

Trim the Wick: Keep the wick at ¼ inch before each use to prevent excessive soot and ensure an even burn.
Allow a Full Melt Pool: On the first burn, let the wax reach the edges of the container to prevent tunneling.
Burn in Two-to-Four Hour Intervals: This extends the life of the fragrant flame and maximizes fragrance throw.
Reuse the Vessel: The glass jar can be cleaned and repurposed for storage or decor once the illuminated wick has burned completely.

Candle Care

Follow the tips below to help ensure optimal results when burning your Meet Haus candles:

Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning. This helps maintain an even and clean burn.
Center and straighten the wick after blowing out your candle.
Burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings, matches, and debris.
Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, fans, or air currents.
Before relighting a candle, let the candle cool completely.
Burn regular sized candles for 3–4 hours at a time. Prolonged burning can damage your candle and create safety hazards.
Burn candles in an ambient temperature of 65–75 degrees °F.
When burning multiple candles, place them at least 8 inches apart.
If a candle is burning unevenly and the wick is centered, it’s likely in a draft.
Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children and pets.

Additional Tips for Proper Candle Care

First Burn: Allow the entire top layer of the candle to melt during the first burn. This ensures an even burn throughout the candle's life.
Wick Maintenance: Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting to maintain a consistent flame and reduce soot.
Burn Duration: Limit your burning sessions to 3–4 hours. Over-burning can weaken the candle's structure and affect its performance.
Safety Precautions: Never leave a candle unattended. Be mindful of placing it near curtains, children, pets, or anything that could catch fire.
Cooling Before Relighting: Always allow the candle wax to harden before relighting. This ensures a safe and even burn each time.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy your candles safely and prolong their life, ensuring that every burn is as delightful as the first.

At Meet Haus Home Goods, we believe in enhancing your living spaces with our aromatic Meet Haus Candles that breathe life, love, and inspiration into your surroundings. To ensure you experience the highest quality of ambiance, we've designed, please adhere to our curated candle care recommendations below.

When igniting your candle for the first time, allow the wax to liquefy evenly across the surface to the vessel's edges - a process that may take 2 to 4 hours. This essential step ensures an even burn and prevents the formation of tunnels, thus extending the life of your Meet Haus Candle.
Keep your wick trimmed to a quarter of an inch before each lighting. This simple practice promotes an evenly distributed flame and minimizes the build-up of soot or mushrooming of the wick. A well-maintained wick ensures your candle burns beautifully every time.
We advise you not to burn your Meet Haus Candle for more than 4 consecutive hours. This helps maintain the fragrance intensity over time, preserving the unique aromatic notes of our carefully crafted candles.
Post-burn wick maintenance is crucial for an optimum burning experience. We recommend trimming the wick to about 1/4th to 1/8th of an inch after each burn. Consider investing in a quality pair of wick trimmers for clean and efficient wick trimming.
In the rare instance of soot formation inside the vessel, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, and wipe the interior with a clean, damp cloth. Once cleaned, trim the wick and relight your candle for continued enjoyment.
Ensure your wax pool remains free from any debris - including wick trimmings and matches - at all times.
To extinguish your candle, use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax, then straighten it to prevent smoking or the potential splattering of hot wax. We discourage blowing out candles as they can cause smoke or splatter.
If your candle begins to smoke, flicker excessively, or the flame height becomes uncontrollable, these are signs that the candle isn't burning correctly. In such cases, extinguish the candle, let it cool, trim the wick, and check for drafts before re-lighting.
To enjoy the maximum impact of our fragrances, burn your Meet Haus Candle in your desired space for 30 minutes with the door closed. Be mindful that open windows and doors can disperse the scent.
We recommend storing your candles in a cool, dark, and dry location, away from direct sunlight or harsh indoor lighting.
To maintain the aesthetic appeal of your candle, remove any dust or fingerprints by gently rubbing the surface with a piece of nylon or a soft cloth. The cloth can be either dry or slightly damp with water.
Lastly, for safety reasons and to prolong the life of your candle, never burn your candle down completely. Always leave at least a half-inch of non-molten wax at the bottom.

Finally, always ensure to burn your Meet Haus Candle within sight. We believe in the joyful experience that a beautifully burning candle can bring, and safety is an integral part of this process.
