Homework UK scented candle - Earth

Homework Earth scented candles bring a sense of luxury to your home. Eco friendly and handmade in the UK, the natural scent is a balanced, refreshing home fragrance.

Earth by Homework is a scented candle created to invoke the element that makes you feel grounded, at home with yourself and others. Think of Earth as stability: the meeting point of moderation and balance, nature and nurture. 

Remember those balmy nights outside? Everyone sat around the table for hours, the breeze still warm, time moving slowly and stretching out like the flora and fauna that fills the garden.

Know Your Maker

Homework is a London based brand, creating sensory stories through fragrance.

As many stories do, ours begins with a search for balance. After years of working for brands as a graphic designer, Stephanie, our co-founder, was craving something that combined her love of design, community and the healing power of nature. And while the words home and work had always resonated in two different worlds, their joining together felt like the yin and yang she needed. This idea of opposite but interconnected elements that find harmony as a pair gave us our name: homework.

Homework pays homage to Stephanie’s Chinese heritage, having grown up with Traditional Chinese Medicine – from her Popo picking herbs in the mountains in Tai Po to create her own remedies, to her parents who immigrated to Manchester in 1984 to set up their own clinic. So it felt both natural and vital for homework’s sensory philosophy to be rooted in TCM.

Outside of the scents we create, homework also use their platform to amplify voices from the East and South East Asian community, by sharing their work, stories, recipes and rituals.

A big part of our practice as a sensory studio is aligning with nature. This looks like living harmoniously with the seasons, drawing upon the grounded and tangible elements of nature, from the calm trickle of water to the warmth of the sun. Because of this, we run our business on similar principles. We create in small batches, use responsibly-sourced ingredients, encourage people to reuse our jars and offer to recycle them ourselves.

In an effort to create more equilibrium – a push and pull of give and take – we are also members of 1% For The Planet, an organisation that requires businesses to donate 1% of their annual sales to environmental causes.

A modern ode to ancient Chinese philosophy. Homework creates sensory stories through fragrances that celebrate heritage, balance and nature. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the lens through which we approach scents, fragrance and our mission: to inspire people to live more in line with their bodies, the world around them and the seasons.
