HOHM – Spirited Scents: beyond the scented candle

Sadly drowned wicks, half-burned candles that refuse to burn any further, or bone-dry diffuser reeds: perfume aficionados Marisa Garau and Arjan van Woensel are often disappointed by the short lifespan of the average home fragrance product.

A bold mission

And so they embarked on a bold mission to improve on the standard options. Now, twelve months, countless designs, and a mind boggling number of tests later, they’re ready to introduce HOHM — Spirited Scents.

Scented lava stones

The fragrances of HOHM (the name is a clever combination of home and ohm) feature pre-doused, long-lasting scented lava stones in a gorgeous copper vessel which resembles a Tibetan singing bowl.

From New Zealand’s thermal heart

“We wanted to create a diffusing vehicle that wouldn’t run out of steam”, award-winning art director and designer Arjan says. “Thanks to their highly porous properties, lava stones are natural, permanent diffusers. Surprisingly, finding black instead of red lava stone in New Zealand proved to be a real challenge! But we succeeded and we’re proud to say that our stones are sourced from our very own black vein in the North Island’s thermal heart.”

Ten times longer-lasting

Each HOHM fragrance comes in beautiful packaging which includes an easy top-up bottle, ensuring that your HOHM lasts at least ten times longer than a scented candle. The diffusing power of the lava stones will actually last for as long as they are being topped up.

Online meditation included

Being a mindfulness-expert, Marisa threw in another soul-nourishing extra. “I wanted HOHM not only to bring relaxation within our living spaces, but our minds as well. And so each of HOHM’s aromatic fragrances come with a dedicated online mindfulness-meditation to deepen the experience of inner peace, joy and open awareness.”

Limited edition

Only available in a limited edition at Corso de’ Fiori, Bob&friends and Matakana Home, look for the unorthodox names of HOHM’s three spirited scents: Stress Less, Be Serene and Find Focus.
