In Ukraine, the smell of 3 in 1 instant coffee is a true staple of kiosk coffee culture. It is the scent of my home and my hometown, Brovary, the street kiosks where people always gather. There, MacCoffee 3 in 1 is a classic. For any Ukrainian, this sweet, warm drink is a classic symbol of the 90s and early 2000s. Most of all, this is the exact smell I associate with my dad.

Fragrance Palette

Top Notes: Bitter-sweet chocolate, coconut, and almond.
Middle Notes: Honey and caramel.
Base Notes: Roasted coffee and burnt sugar.

The Blend

Made from a premium mix of natural soy and pure beeswax. Because of the added beeswax, it burns longer and cleaner than traditional candles, giving you around 35 hours of burn time even in a 120 ml jar.

Made with Purpose

I started this project to honor my dad's memory after losing him on the front line. To keep his light burning, proceeds from this collection are donated to help Ukrainian children and youth, in partnership with the Ukrainian club in Zaandam.

This scented candle is part of the "і нічого не бійся" (and fear nothing) collection. It features a real vintage photo of my dad from when he was young on the label.
