A moment of healing with fragrance. ESSU Candle Art Workshop Report

On May 30th and 31st, 2026, for two days, we held the "Scent and Flower Candle Art Workshop" on the 3rd floor of Aeon Mall Tsudanuma South.

On the day of the event, many people participated, including families with children, and over 10 customers each day enjoyed making candles.

In this workshop, participants filled out an original "Scent Diagnosis Sheet" before making their candles.

On the diagnosis sheet, they answered questions such as "How do you feel today?" and "What is your ideal way to spend an evening?", using their responses as a reference to choose a scent that reflected their current state and desired mood.

Additionally, on the back of the sheet, there were sections to fill in "The theme of the candle you are making" and "Words you want to say to yourself today."

This is a unique ESSU activity born from the desire for participants to spend time confronting their feelings and emotions, not just making candles.

Afterward, participants chose one of eight scents—sweet orange, grapefruit, eucalyptus, lavender, patchouli, hinoki, sandalwood, or vanilla—to create their own original candle.

Furthermore, by freely decorating with their favorite dried flowers, each participant completed a unique and individual piece of art.

Each finished candle was rich in individuality, imbued with thoughts and themes, and the instructors also enjoyed observing everyone's creations.

The time spent choosing scents, selecting flowers, and making candles with their hands is a special moment to step away from the busy daily routine and connect with oneself.

From the participants, we received delightful feedback such as:

"It was so much fun and I was able to concentrate."
"I felt healed by the scents and flowers."
"I had time to reflect on myself amidst my busy everyday life."

We were also very pleased to receive comments from customers who couldn't participate due to scheduling conflicts, saying, "I wanted to participate" and "Please hold it again next time."

ESSU is a brand born from the desire to "deliver time to cherish oneself."

With the concept of "calming oneself with scent and light," we offer aroma candles that use natural essential oils and support self-care.

Through this workshop, we believe participants were once again able to feel the power of scent to change their mood and create time for self-care.

Thank you very much to everyone who participated!

ESSU candles are currently on sale for a limited time at the event space in Aeon Mall Tsudanuma South.

If you are in the area, please come and experience the scents for yourself.

We look forward to welcoming you! ✨
