Introducing Homework, where you embark on a sensory journey through the art of fragrance. Based in London, Homework crafts unique handmade scented candles that tell stories, reflecting a quest for balance and harmony.
The story starts with Stephanie, Homework co-founder, who after years as a graphic designer, sought a fusion of design, community, and the healing power of nature. The concept of "homework" emerged from her desire to unite these elements—echoing the yin and yang of her heritage. This union of opposites and their harmonious balance gave birth to the Homework name and philosophy.
Homework honours Stephanie’s Chinese heritage, drawing inspiration from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). From her Popo’s herbal remedies in Tai Po to her parents' clinic in Manchester, TCM is woven into their approach. Each fragrance they create is a tribute to these traditions, merging ancient wisdom with modern sensibilities.
Beyond fragrances, Homework use their platform to amplify voices from the East and South East Asian communities. Sharing their stories, recipes, and rituals, and celebrating their vibrant cultures.
Homework's commitment to nature is integral to their practice. They create our products in small batches, source ingredients responsibly, and promote the reuse and recycling of their glass jars. They also support environmental causes, donating 1% of their annual sales to foster balance and sustainability.
With Homework, you discover more than just fragrances; you experience a modern ode to ancient Chinese philosophy. Their mission is to inspire you to align with your body, the world around you, and the changing seasons through the lens of TCM.
