Why Dragon's Whisper Works:
Your inner voice is always there. You just need to get quiet enough to hear it.
Orange brings bright clarity without agitation. Cedarwood adds grounding depth—steady, present, unhurried. Tonka bean wraps everything in subtle warmth, creating the kind of atmosphere where insight arrives naturally.
We developed this for the Zenshin ritual—the practice of bringing full awareness to simple acts, like drinking tea. Light this candle. Brew your tea slowly. Watch the flame while the water heats. Let each step become deliberate rather than automatic.
This is what Nagomi offers: the reminder that wisdom doesn't come from doing more. It comes from being present with what you're already doing.
Made with coconut apricot wax. ASTM F2179 certified, California Proposition 65 compliant. Lead-free cotton wick for clean burning.

Product FAQs

Mini tin (1½ oz): 5-6 hours burn time. Perfect for travel, testing new scents, or small spaces like bathrooms.
4 oz tin: 18-20 hours burn time. Ideal for personal spaces, offices, or trying a new scent before committing to larger sizes.

All sizes provide the same quality scent throw—choose based on how often you'll use it and the space you're filling.
▸ How long do your candles burn?
Our candles burn approximately 5 hours per ounce:
Mini tin (1½ oz): 5-6 hours
4 oz: 18-20 hours
8 oz: 40-45 hours
12 oz: 60-65 hours
Burn times can vary based on air temperature, drafts, and how long you burn the candle each session. Proper wick trimming helps maximize burn time.
▸ How do I care for my Nagomi candle?
Good news: Coconut apricot wax doesn't require special first-burn protocols. You can burn your Nagomi candle for any length of time—perfect for quick 5-minute rituals or longer meditation sessions.
Wick trimming: Due to our high fragrance concentration, the wick may occasionally "mushroom" at the tip. Simply trim to ¼ inch before lighting for optimal burning.
That's it. No complicated rules. Just light, enjoy, and trim the wick as needed.
▸ How strong is the scent?
Our coconut apricot wax delivers strong scent throw. Most Nagomi candles are medium-strong, depending on the specific fragrance blend.
Coverage: One candle easily fills the average room (up to 400 sq ft). Many customers report scent extending beyond the room where it's burning.
The fragrance is designed to enhance your ritual practice—noticeable without overwhelming, present without demanding attention.

Wax: Premium coconut apricot wax blend—no paraffin, no soy. Chosen for superior scent throw, clean burning, and sustainability.
