"If you smell earth and grass in the air, It’s beginning of rainy season out there, When the monks are not allowed to travel, We gather and make some candles for temples. Drops and droplets of rain are falling from the sky. It is now July in Thailand. The rain moistens the ground that has just survived the heat of summer, giving a refreshing smell of the earth and the grass, which we haven’t smell for almost a year. In the beginning of the rainy season, there is a special day for Buddhists called “Khao Pansa” day, which is the first day of 3 months for monks to reside only in the temple. This is a good time for Buddhists to make merit by visiting the temple and give out some goods and important things. This tradition has been carrying on for as long as we can remember. What cannot be forgotten is giving out candles to the temple, which is a beautiful and great tradition of the northeastern part of the country, especially in Ubonratchathani province. This tradition gathers everyone in the area to create and carve the most beautiful candle. Above is the inspiration of this perfume, Wasan, representing the scent of the beginning of rainy season, which includes the smell of the earth and grass after the end of a storm, mixed with a slight aroma of wood to represent the effort of the people given in order to create the perfect candle for the temple. Wasan completes the whole rainy season in one bottle, ready for you to experience this wonderful season of Thailand." - a note from the brand.
