‘Osme’ refers to the sense of smell.
This series was based on the desire to create individual scents that reflect the personality and the already existing natural scents in these locations. We first looked at the already existing plants, nature and flowers and then translated this study into characteristic scents.
For both the candles and diffusers, all scents come encased in handmade ceramic, part of our small production in Greece. Each have been designed to quietly stand out in any household. Due to the handmade nature, each piece is completely unique.
