When Jacqueline's daughter said none of her candles smelled like home, Jacqueline asked her daughter, "What exactly smells like home?" Her daughter pointed to the pandan chiffon cake sitting on the counter, and that's when Jacqueline realized her daughter was right. Because homes weren't meant to smell like spas. They were meant to smell familiar, warm, and comforting.
This sparked Jacqueline's journey to craft the perfect pandan blend. As a result, she created her Pandan & Lemongrass soy candle - Oyasumi's signature scent. Made with actual pandan leaf extract, the herb-y scent and slight sweetness of pandan will impart warmth, while the gentle spice of lemongrass will invigorate the senses.

When first experimenting with candle-making, Jacqueline was shocked to learn adding pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils could be toxic due to the oils' low flashpoints. She further experienced this toxicity when she lit a candle with pure essential oils, only to experience headaches and vomiting.
With research, she learned the essential oils used in candles are actually stabilized compounds. However, Jacqueline wasn't pleased with the commercially available fragrances and found them artificial-smelling.
Now, she only works with fragrance makers to craft bespoke fragrances while ensuring all oils are made with stabilized essential oils and natural ingredients.
