Yotam Candle – freedome Edition

Handcrafted by Tom – folklorebytom

Scent is one of the most mysterious and fascinating senses in nature, with the ability to connect us to the past, trigger emotions, and influence our feelings in the moment. Throughout history, scent has been a crucial tool for both humans and animals—it guided them in knowing what is safe to eat and what might pose a threat, and it has been a key element in gaining a deeper understanding of the environment.

What’s beautiful about scent is the intimate and almost instant connection it has with memory. The smell of a blooming orchard in spring might take us back to childhood in the countryside, while the scent of lavender may evoke memories of a vacation in the south of France.

And this is where I come in—I’m Tom, Yotam’s brother-in-law. “Folklore” was founded in 2020, and one of the people who supported me and my brand the most was Yotam. He always had one of my candles in his apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, and he was an integral part of my journey. Out of a deep love for the world of scents and the profound impact they have on our daily lives, I created the Yotam candle in his memory. I’ve captured his essence through this fragrance, and I invite you to take part in commemorating him through the sense of smell, creating meaningful and emotional moments in your home, office, or any space you choose.

The inspiration for this candle came from a conversation I had with Tuval during our trip to Croatia. We were in a beautiful nature reserve that felt like it was straight out of a fairy tale—evergreen trees, crystal-clear lakes, turquoise waters, and the scent of flowers everywhere. I told Tuval that Yotam must be in a place like this all the time now, free. A few minutes later, I took a picture of Tuval by the lake, and in the photo appeared a ball of light full of rainbows—Yotam came to visit us there.
