Daidō Candle

Top Notes: Rock Salt, Birch, Mineral Water. Embark on a sensory journey with the invigorating top notes of rock salt, birch, and mineral water. A nod to the refreshing breezes that sweep through Tokyo's vibrant streets, these elements set the stage for a truly immersive experience.

Mid Notes: Sandalwood, Cool Spices, Bonsai Juniper. The fragrance's heart unfolds with a harmonious blend of sandalwood, cool spices, and bonsai juniper. This combination mirrors the dynamic cultural landscape of Tokyo, capturing the essence of modernity and tradition that defines the city's character.

Base Notes: Hinoki, Leather, Smoke Accord. Grounding the olfactory journey are the base notes of hinoki, leather, and a smoky accord. These rich, earthy scents transport individuals to the serene moments within Tokyo's bustling nights, embodying the timeless allure of the metropolis. The smoky accord in DAIDO introduces an inky, firewood-like essence reminiscent of a crackling fire made with green wood, adding an extra layer of complexity and warmth to the fragrance.

Burn for 2-3 hours each time you light the candle. This will help the candle burn evenly; remember to trim the wick before each burn. 

Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.

Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle container when the wax is liquified.

Don't burn a candle all the way down. For safety measures, stop burning a candle when there is ¼ inch of wax left in the vessel.

Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts.

Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.

Keep candles where children, pets, or anyone else can not knock them over.

Before leaving the room, make sure your candle is entirely out and there is no glow coming from the wick ember.

Please do not touch or move the candle until it has completely cooled.

Known by New Yorkers who value individualistic, precise cuts and styling, Takamichi Saeki and the team at Takamichi HAIR have a top-performance salon showcasing the ultimate expression of Takamichi's style and vision. Takamichi opened his eponymous salon in 1999, located at 68 East 1st Street, on the corner of 1st Avenue. With a growing, loyal following, Takamichi moved the salon in 2004 to a loft at 35 Great Jones Street. In Fall 2011, Takamichi moved to 263 Bowery, 2nd floor, a modern, luxurious space designed by architect Sandra van Rolleghem and featuring a mural by Barcelona-born acclaimed artist Santi Moix.
Takamichi Saeki began his creative career as the Assistant Director of the ISE Cultural Foundation, a nonprofit organization in Soho, which supports artists and scholars whose work promotes Japanese esthetics and culture. In 1991, Takamichi opened his own gallery, Salon de Fleurs, partnering with a friend. It was this experience with understanding form and composition that helped to define Takamichi as a hairstylist. He began this second career at Siren, the Nolita salon that developed a cult following in the 1990s when Andre Balazs and John Cale were regulars.

With his line of products, Takamichi's goal is simple. After 20 years of working with his clients, understanding their needs, and naturally, touching their hair, he wanted to help them clear through the clutter and simplify their regimens. His products are timeless, well-crafted, everyday essentials that not only ensure
good grooming now – but for years to come.
