Kehinde — The Wise Soul

Kehinde Double-Wick Hazelnut & Chocolate Candle

The one who follows, carrying the warmth of wisdom and the comfort of home.

Kehinde is a handmade double-wick soy wax candle with sweet hazelnut, rich chocolate and smooth vanilla. Its creamy gourmand scent fills the room with comforting sweetness, ideal for quiet evenings and moments of relaxation.

The vessel is hand-painted with a large pink and yellow flower, green leaves and smaller blossoms on a cream base. Two wooden wicks sit side by side, a nod to the twins this collection is named for.

Kehinde is inspired by the second-born Yoruba twin, traditionally seen as the elder. It celebrates grounding, patience and the quiet beauty of knowing where you belong.

Each candle is hand-poured by Aurora Wicks into a one-of-a-kind gypsum and cement vessel, hand-painted by Yomo Studios in Lagos, Nigeria. No two are exactly alike, and it arrives in a matching Ibeji gift box.

Candle Care

Trim both wooden wicks to about 5mm before each burn.

Light both wicks together so the soy wax melts evenly across the surface on the first burn. This helps prevent tunnelling.

Burn for no longer than 3–4 hours at a time.

Keep away from drafts, children, pets and flammable objects.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Stop using the candle when about 1cm of wax remains.

Let the vessel cool completely before handling or repurposing.

A Note on Your Vessel

Every Yomo vessel is individually handmade and hand-painted, so slight variations in colour, pattern and finish are part of its charm. Your candle may resemble the photo, but it will never be an exact replica. Once the candle has finished burning, clean the vessel and reuse it as a decorative jar or keepsake.

A collaboration between Yomo Studios and Aurora Wicks. Two creative practices, brought together through scent and form.
