Peony&Dust

A new fragrance and vessel
—byJasonKoharik 2023
As autumn approaches, I usually harvest my roses, making the oil for my original conceptual candle: ALLUSION— a story of leather and roses.—
The august heat yields the best scent. This year I was fortunate enough to happen upon farm fresh Ohio Peonies—from a visit back Home. 
Contained within a hand sculpted plaster vessel,on a solid turned brass base,  lies a story of Peonies and Dust. Rife with the sweet slow scent of the pink June bloom and the smell of time, entropy, absence and dust. Basement secrets.—Long drag cigarettes, smoke and ash, hesitation, and a touch of nervously applied lip gloss. It reeks of nostalgia for a memory that hasn’t happened yet. Or may never come. —
A reminder that distance happens in both directions, future and past, —There are no poems without both love and suffering, —The uncleared misunderstandings in time become a forever distance—And “Wanting is what having wants to recover.”
Each candle is poured with a hidden, one of a kind gift. 
Set it on fire. Burn it beautifully empty, and a treasure is reveled.
Limited quantity available. I was only able to make a small batch of the fragrant oil. —for now.
