Oyasumi Scents

Candle-making started as a method of stress relief for Jacqueline Kwong, but it quickly became a passion. She loved combining scents to please a variety of palettes, and even started working with fragrance makers to craft bespoke fragrances for friends and family.

For about 2 years, Jacqueline could not say "oyasumi" (goodnight in Japanese) to her daughter, because allergies interrupted her sleep. Medications did little, while rubbing oils on skin caused rashes and breathing issues. She spent hours of research to ensure essential oils could be used safely, without making her daughter suffer. While the candles she made worked and helped alleviate her daughter's symptoms, Jacqueline was surprised to find out that her daughter felt that they did not smell like "home". This sparked a journey to create non-toxic candles that were reminiscent of homes in Asia – starting with the familiar Southeast Asian scent of pandan and lemongrass.

Oyasumi Scents was thus born with a mission to share her Asian-inspired scents with the rest of the world. Today, the brand prides itself on providing a range of unique scents in hand-poured, non-toxic, soy candles. And while Jacqueline is thrilled to share her current blends, she continues to strive to craft new scents so that all can find an Oyasumi Scent that will make them comfortably say "oyasumi" at the end of the day.
