Description

KUSUR Pulse 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 PULSE 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.

The heart of the earth, keeping your rhythm.

Russet brown, the most heartfelt of the earth’s pigments. PULSE stands for the pulse of life, and for looking for love within it. A ceramic oil burner, the water turning inside it and the rising vapour. Each of them draws you a little closer to the earth, to yourself and to your own rhythm.

When to light it?

  • In the evening, when you want to set the day down and return to your own pace
  • To prepare the room before meditation, yoga or breathwork
  • At the end of the longest day of the week, when you want a quiet of your own
  • For a special evening, alone or with someone, when you want to bring warmth and depth to the room

Set Contents

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

PULSE Essential Oil Blend

Sweet Orange Oil · Lavender Oil · Cedarwood Oil · Ylang Ylang Oil

Scent Profile: Warm · Floral · Woody · Deep

Oil Origin Scent Character
Sweet Orange Oil Citrus sinensis peel Sweet, warm and soft citrus notes
Lavender Oil Lavandula angustifolia flowers Elegant, floral and rounded aromatic texture
Cedarwood Oil Cedrus atlantica wood Deep, dry and woody character
Ylang Ylang Oil Cananga odorata flowers Rich, exotic and velvety floral aroma

Warm citrus notes meet woody depth, and floral textures add a soft transition between them. PULSE is a rich, enveloping scent composition that keeps company with the slower pace at the end of the day.

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.

Every piece is the product of its own batch of clay and its own day in the studio. Size, colour tone and surface texture vary visibly from piece to piece. This is not a flaw; it is the record of handmade work. Imperfection is where its character shows.

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 PULSE 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.

For an evening ritual: Light it when the screens go off, in the last quiet of the day or in a moment of your own. The scent of PULSE works like a door, and once you step through it, a different time waits inside.

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 PULSE blend contains sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) and ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) 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.
