    Stage 2
    Now you've grown up. Although you are depressed from the breakup, the reality is you still need to work, a presentation is coming up... You need to handle your household, all the utility bills... You need to meet your parents / grandparents on the weekend which is planned weeks ago and you gotta fake a smile because you do not want to go through the whole breakup detail again. You are trying to find a moment at night for me-time, sadness mixed with tiredness. 

    We use the Chinese word "酸" means "sour". It's like "acquiescence" to refer to Stage 2 - life goes on even you don't want to.

    Notes: aloe, bergamot 
    Character: sour
    Net weight: 190g / 6.7oz
    Burn time: ~40 hours

    The packaging of BreakUp series is in black with wax seal applied.
    Sealing wax is a metaphor for an indelible trace, breakup is a piece of memory that just like un-erasable mark. 


    Breakup series is a collaboration of Shabibi Sheep Workshop and slash & parallel.

    Shabibi Sheep Workshop is an artisanal fair-faced concrete brand in Hong Kong. They launched concrete candle - breakup series in February 2019 and that was a limited item for one month only. Breakup series consists of 3 candles, representing 3 stages. Besides the scents of the 3 candles are different, from strong to mild, the texture of the concrete is also different, from raw to smooth, these symbolising how a person has his/her stage of mind changed after worn away by “time”.

    Launching the breakup series during the Valentine’s day season as Feb 14th should not solely contains sweet or pink.
    Valentine’s day is just one day. 
    However breakup is a stage that takes you an unknown period of time to get through. 

    slash & parallel fine-tuned the scents and the BreakUp series becomes a regular collection.

    Candle caring tips
    Allow the wax to melt to the edge of the ceramic cup on the first burn to create a full “melt pool”. This is to ensure the candle is burnt all the way to the edge instead of just burning down the middle and creating a tunnel.
    Do not burn your candle longer than 3 hours at a time. 
    Trim the wick to 3-5mm before every burn.


    Warning
    Always burn candles within sight.
    Never burn candles near flammable items.
    Keep candles away from children and pets.
    The ceramic container will heat up when the candle is lit. So do not touch or move the candle around or you may get injured. Please also ensure the surface where you put your candle is heat-resistant.

     

    "The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion." 
    ~ Albert Einstein

    Past, present and future are intertwined.

    The present is shaped by what we have experienced in the past; what we are experiencing now is affecting the future. 

    It’s all about memory. 
    We carry the memory from the past to live at any moment.

    Scent can revive memories that have been long forgotten. 
    Do you really believe the memory retrieved was something actually happened?
    Sometimes your memory may be blurry or even differ from time to time.
    Now that, is the picture in your memory real or just an illusion?

    We design the scent to create the vibe, let you fall into the illusion.
