About SOMU Sense
What is SOMU Sense?
SOMU Sense is a home goods brand for slow living. We create thoughtful objects for a softer everyday, in colors that feel like warmth: cream, beige, soft bronze. Our motto is simple: savor ordinary moments, unhurried. ♡
What does SOMU Sense sell?
Scented candles — nine of them in our first collection, each with its own character and a scent you won't find on typical US shelves. We're also putting together a small collection of mugs. Coming soon.
When does the full collection launch?

About Our Candles
What wax do you use?
We use clean-burning soy wax across the collection, with natural beeswax blended into some designs. No paraffin, ever.
What scents do you offer?
Eight unique scents: Coffee, Matcha, Osmanthus Longjing, Darjeeling Tea, Orange Citrus, White Peach Oolong, Milk Candy, and Cedar. Each one is picked to make a room feel like something — you can explore them all on our Our Story page.
How do I take care of my candle?
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge — this prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly every time. Keep it away from drafts, and don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
What do I do when the candle is finished?
Don't toss the vessel! Once the wax is gone, clean it out with warm soapy water and give it a second life — the cups and glasses make perfect jewelry dishes, cotton pad holders, or tiny planters. ♡
Are your candles safe to burn indoors?
We use lead-free wicks and quality fragrance oils. As with any candle, never leave it unattended and keep it away from kids, pets, and anything flammable.
