Description

KUSUR Flow is an aromatherapy set: a handmade, two-piece stoneware ceramic oil burner, a ceramic candle cup filled with a KUSUR candle and a 10 ml FLOW essential oil blend. The name KUSUR, Turkish for imperfection, does not speak of a mistake but of the trace of handwork: from slip casting in a mould to demoulding and hand finishing, each piece takes around 5 hours of work, and the tilts given by hand during finishing mean that no oil burner is ever identical to another.

There is no impatience in the soul of anthracite clay.

FLOW is a daily ritual that gathers a scattered day into a single point. From the moment it leaves the kiln, it is an original. Every touch on its surface is a record of the maker’s hand on that day. The weight of the anthracite tone holds the room still; with its colour, scent and texture, it sets a centre point. Light your oil burner for every moment you would like to photograph with your eyes and keep. And stay there. The FLOW blend holds the moment in place.

When to light it?

  • In the morning, just before you settle into the day and begin
  • Long working sessions: writing, reading, or whenever you want to be absorbed in a single task
  • Late afternoons and moments of transition, when the day feels at its loudest

Set Contents

  • FLOW Ceramic Oil Burner (anthracite; upper bowl + lower body, 2 pieces)
  • FLOW Ceramic Candle Cup, filled with a KUSUR candle (anthracite; the candle burns for around 5 hours, and once it is finished you can place a standard tealight in the cup)
  • FLOW Essential Oil Blend (10 ml)

FLOW Essential Oil Blend

Juniper Oil · Peppermint Oil · Bergamot Oil · Grapefruit Oil

Scent Profile: Earthy · Fresh · Woody · Light Citrus

Oil Origin Scent Character
Juniper Oil Juniperus communis berries Resinous, woody and lightly spiced character
Peppermint Oil Mentha piperita leaves Cool, lively and distinctly fresh aroma

Bergamot Oil

 Citrus bergamia peel Fresh citrus with light floral notes
Grapefruit Oil Citrus paradisi peel Juicy, slightly bitter and lively citrus notes

With every breath, a different note comes forward. Sometimes the resinous depth of juniper, sometimes the coolness of peppermint, sometimes the light citrus touch of bergamot… Rather than a single scent, FLOW carries a character you discover slowly.

Note: Fill the upper bowl halfway, with around 300 ml of warm water, and add 8–10 drops. Top up the water as it runs low; oil left in the bowl can burn and spoil the scent. After use, put out the candle and clean your oil burner.

How to Use
  1. Place the candle cup in the centre of the lower body. On first use, the cup comes filled with a KUSUR candle; once it is finished, you can place a standard tealight inside.
  2. Fill the upper bowl halfway, with around 300 ml of warm water, and add 8–10 drops of the FLOW blend.
  3. Light the candle and set the upper bowl on top of the lower body.
  4. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Top up the water as it runs low; when you have finished, put out the candle and clean the bowl.

To build a scent rhythm: Repeat it at the same time of day, with the same scent, and let it become part of how this hour begins.

Technical Notes & Safe Use
  • The essential oil blend has no carrier: it contains no carrier oil or synthetic additives
  • Use the oils only in the oil burner, in water; do not apply them directly to the skin
  • Less is more: 8–10 drops are enough, and more can cause a headache
  • Top up the water as it runs low; oil left in the bowl can burn and spoil the scent
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for children under 3, seek professional advice before use
  • Use in a well-ventilated place out of reach of pets; if you have cats, ask your vet first
  • Scent intensity may vary slightly with the harvest and the season
  • Do not drop the ceramic pieces onto hard surfaces; hand washing is recommended, and they are dishwasher safe
  • The product images show real pieces; because each piece is finished by hand, the form and surface of the KUSUR you receive may differ visibly from the images

Frequently Asked Questions

If you cannot find what you are looking for, write to us.

What are KUSUR's dimensions?

KUSUR is made of two parts. The upper bowl is approximately 15 cm in diameter and 5 cm high; the lower body is approximately 19 cm in diameter and 7 cm high. Together they stand approximately 12–13 cm tall; because the rims are finished by hand, there can be a difference of about 1 cm from piece to piece.

How heavy is KUSUR?

The ceramic pieces weigh approximately 1 kg in total. With its packaging, the parcel weighs approximately 1,450 g.

How much water and oil should I use?

Fill KUSUR's upper bowl halfway with approximately 300 ml of warm water, then add 8–10 drops of the Soil & Oil blend you have chosen.

How long does the candle burn?

The ceramic candle cup in the KUSUR set comes filled with a KUSUR candle, which burns for approximately 5 hours. Once the candle is finished, you can place a standard tealight in the candle cup and keep using it; standard tealights usually burn for approximately 3 hours.

How long does the water in the bowl last?

300 ml of water lasts approximately 10 hours, depending on conditions of use. So the bowl is not expected to run dry while a single Soil & Oil candle is burning.

Will KUSUR be damaged if the water runs out?

KUSUR is made from stoneware that withstands high temperatures; if the bowl runs dry during use, the ceramic is not damaged under normal conditions. However, oil left in the bowl may burn and spoil the scent, so add water when it runs low. We recommend never leaving a burning candle unattended.

How do I clean KUSUR?

We recommend washing KUSUR by hand; it is also dishwasher safe. Take care not to knock the ceramic against hard surfaces or drop it.

Where is KUSUR made?

KUSUR is made in Antalya. Each piece takes around 5 hours of work, from slip casting in a mould to demoulding and hand finishing. The tilts given by hand and the natural tilt of the bowls make every piece visibly different; no two are the same. This is where the name KUSUR, the Turkish word for imperfection, comes from.

Can it be used around children?

Never leave a burning candle unattended, and use KUSUR out of the reach of children. For pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 3, we recommend seeking expert advice before using essential oils.

Can it be used around pets?

Sensitivity to essential oils varies between animal species. Use KUSUR in a well-ventilated place that pets cannot reach. For cats and other sensitive animals in particular, we recommend consulting your vet before use.

What do the oils contain?

The FLOW blend contains juniper (Juniperus communis), peppermint (Mentha piperita), bergamot (Citrus bergamia) and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) oils. The blends contain no carrier oil. GC-MS analysis details will be added to the product information once available.

The Value of Stillness

What really mattered was what we carried with us: a belief that simplicity lasts longer than display.

We chose to see scent not as decoration but as a ritual. Every oil burner and every drop of oil comes from this idea.

Today, everything that leaves our hands sets out with the same quietness: understated, yet noticed.

Customer Experiences

When I first saw it, I did not even know what it was designed for, but I fell in love with its form. Then I learned the story behind it. Now I have more than a beautiful ceramic object: a keepsake that also carries other people’s stories and feelings.

Olga Dikaia

I love how natural and light the scents are. A few drops are enough. I especially enjoy using it in the evenings when I am spending time at home.

Nisa Çolak

When I first saw it, I did not realise it was an oil burner. When I am not using it, it sits in the living room as a decorative object. I love both its design and the way it works.

Anıl Uğur Tüfekçi

The packaging was truly careful; even though it is ceramic, I never felt uneasy opening the box. The piece itself is even more beautiful than in the photos. I usually use it in the evenings, and it has become a small habit at home.
