Pertiwi Candle

IDR 290.000

Lit at five in the morning. The wax warms; the room warms with it. Eucalyptus rises first, the breath catches at the back of the throat, the chest cools, the eyes open a little wider.

Within minutes, the scent settles. Peppermint and geranium fill the corners. By the time you sit down with your first cup, the room is no longer the room you left last night. It has remembered itself. So have you.

PERTIWI: Morning Dew Essence

Pertiwi smells like a garden at four in the morning. Eucalyptus and cut leaves at first: cool, green, awake. Then peppermint and geranium settle in. By the end, it's quieter and warmer: pear and spearmint, the way a room feels after rain. SukkhaCitta's first signature scent, made with Rumah Atsiri.

Top: Eucalyptus, Green Leaves
Heart: Geranium, Peppermint
Base: Spearmint, Pear

In collaboration with Rumah Atsiri.

Handmade

In the language of this land, the Earth is called Ibu Pertiwi. She is Mother. Memory. Source.

PERTIWI is our offering to her. The first signature essence by SukkhaCitta, it opens the way a leaf opens at four in the morning. Cold, green, lifted at the back of the throat. Eucalyptus and peppermint catch behind the eyes. The chest cools. The shoulders drop a centimetre.

Then something quieter happens. The leaves are warm. Geranium settles in the chest. Pear softens the close. Spearmint stays, the way the memory of clean air stays in a room.

Cool at the breath. Warm at the heart. The way dew is made. This is the scent of the first hour, before the world arrives to claim it.

A scent for the woman who is quietly returning to where she came from.
