Yugen Scented Candle
The Hetkinen Yugen Scented Candle is a natural candle inspired by calm anticipation and gentle light.
With notes of lemon blossom, pear, violet, benzoin, and light woods, it creates a soft, luminous, and delicately sweet floral-woody fragrance. The scent opens bright and airy, unfolds into tender floral warmth, and settles into a smooth, honeyed base—calm, serene, and uplifting. Made from olive wax and 100% natural ingredients, it offers a clean, steady burn.
Housed in a reusable glass jar with a Finnish pine wood lid, it features a cotton wick and provides up to 32 hours of burn time.
Size: 260 ML

Finnish for a moment in time, Hetkinen is a Danish brand rooted in Finland and shaped by Japanese culture offering 100% natural and vegan scented candles, room sprays, hand soaps, and scent diffusers inspired by nature.
Finnish culture finds strength in calm and beauty in simplicity, where the air, the silence, and the light of nature shape daily life. This, in turn, shapes Hetkinen’s philosophy that design should feel natural, honest, and enduring, resulting in aromatic objects that respect time and material. In Japanese culture, this mindset is referred to as mottainai, a deep respect for the life found within all things.
With Hetkinen, the daily ritual of filling your home with scent transforms into a moment when the air shifts and the forest feels close.
Hetkinen Scent Notes
Woody ウッディ
Experience the depth of Finnish forests within your home. The grounding scent of wood––pine, cedar, and cypress––creates an atmosphere reminiscent of standing among centuries-old trees. The pure and timeless woody scents are deeply rooted in nature.
Green グリーン
Hetkinen’s Green scents are an embodiment of shinrin-yoku, the Japanese art of forest bathing. Find healing among the trees with the smell of pine needles, moss after a rainstorm, fresh air, and Nordic greenery. Hetkinen home fragrances and candles with Green scent notes awaken the senses while also bringing calm.
Floral フローラル
Nordic meadows and Japanese cherry blossoms come together with Hetkinen’s Floral scent profile, blending petals, herbs, and subtle herbs. Each scent is akin to the moment a flower opens its petals to light. Gentle, poetic, and naturally beautiful, the Floral scent notes bring out nature’s delicate side.
Spicy スパイシー
Add warmth with notes of cardamom, cedar, and pine with Spicy scents that feel vibrant, mindful, and deeply warming. Inspired by traditional Nordic hearths and the Japanese concept of kodokan harmony––where vitality meets restraint––these home fragrances and scented candles add depth and energy to any space.
Smoky スモーキー
This scent profile is reminiscent of Finnish smoke saunas and ancient incense rituals, providing a meditative calm that asks you to slow down and be present. Hetkinen’s smoky scents are subtle, spiritual, and profoundly calming, evoking the feeling of fire transformed.
Amber アンバー
Inspired by the warmth of pine tree resin and the soft glow of light dappling the trees in a Nordic forest, along with the Japanese concept of yūgen––the beauty of the unseen––the Amber scent profile is where earthy depth meets a gentle sweetness. These timeless and comforting scents are golden and grounded with a luxurious feel.
Mineral ミネラル
Designed to bring clarity to your space, Hetkinen’s mineral scents are reminiscent of Finnish granite, zen gardens, and crisp mountain air. Evoking the purity of stone and the freshness of a cool breeze, Mineral scents create a minimal atmosphere that helps clear the mind.
Citrus シトラス
Inspired by northern light and kaori, the Japanese idea that scent awakens awareness, notes of lemon, bergamot, and pine are akin to the bright and fresh atmosphere of Nordic mornings. Citrus scents shift the air and clean the mind, smelling light without sharpness, evoking energy without excess noise, and renewing the senses with a symphony of light and freshness.
