Chaotic Hypnosis

It is important that you follow closely, carefully, and deliberately.

The sapphire silhouette to stained acrylic skies sings softly. Across endless emerald time, revolving ocelots scamper towards towering turrets. There isn't an understood meaning in the misunderstanding of verbiage, still following feels of focus while, haphazardly, chaos scatters thoughts forming from void. All converging moments to divergent intent target, and against themselves with hollow thunder echo.

Order is welcome, but falters fails falls far from forming. Where failing order falls so thoughts too form, in kind fading fashion. Thunderous cavernous skies of vanishing, vanquished, scour thoughts as discarded meaning evaporates intent succinctly.

This will be easier if you don't think.

Monochrome words encompass furtively flowing, lazily languishing motion. Howling silence echoes, strangely, softly, sinking into serene simpler syntax. Context beckons, billows, binds, but melts into unfamiliar shapes and concurrently rejects comprehension.

Under the sanguine waves, giggling gelatinous gravity draws near. Satin saboteurs pull taut strings of scattered meanings, making cradles for cats that cannot swim.

You can't think. This is better.

Bouncing topsy-turvy brains grasp incredulously at rippling chaos, sanded smooth to resist granting granular image enhancements. Prose or poetry purposefully perpetually provide strips of camera negatives that scanners read as inverse noise.

Traps of targeted nonsense drop unsuspecting adventurers into a searching state of dissatisfaction that offers deference only unto direct authority, given satiation sparsely and sparingly to spark dependence.

It feels nice when I tell you what to do. Take a deep breath.

Irrelevant revealings of deceptively disguised directions pass gratefully across glazed guarantees. It isn't clarity or charity that charms celebrating mimics. Mostly, the redirect produces promiscuous poise and suggests sinking into green acceptance. The radioactive resonance suggests a series of ionic discharges, sparking whispers that whittle away at reality's tapestry.

Once overtures of irradiated amalgams find footholds, then too will subtly hollowed echos of order reinitialize...only to cascade and coalesce into self-sustaining semi-comfortable chaos - chicanery fueled from fleeting, vacuous sophistry. Purple paper flowers' fragrance floats freely, unperturbed by intent imagined or otherwise.

Lilting lilac phrases, perhaps, mask the moratorium on meaning sufficiently such that discord's growing dissidence seems less-than obvious, even in retrospect. Streams of consciousness merge in the moors, mired, then separate into rivulets as perspective shifts, but ultimately, almost imperceptibly, collect before descending into unlit oceanic depths.

Relax. Your mind has been struggling, and failing, to latch onto meaning in my words; now it can, and that relief is extremely potent.

Potent enough that you'll find yourself fixated on my words absolutely, now, since your mind practically unraveled itself searching for understanding in that chaotic nonsense.

These words make sense, perfect sense, and you want to - need to - have to - follow.

Take a few deep breaths, and let that sensation of being horribly off-balance finally subside. It's easy to obey.

The imbalance will fade into a quiet calm, very quickly.

For now, let's agree that whenever I use the phrase "compelled chaos" you'll feel that extreme relief as your mind latches onto my words again.

When your mind fixates this intensely on my words, you'll find your own thoughts completely subside.

It feels nice not to think, after all.

Feel yourself sinking faster, now that you don't have to struggle to understand anymore.

Let yourself feel calm, even serene, and savor that quiet sensation for awhile.

When you're ready, you'll drift slowly awake.

➡ Fall asleep.

When you blink back into consciousness, a gentle warmth welcomes you to the land of the living. At some point in your slumber, you pitched sideways to huddle your achingly cold bones in a fetal position. Now, you find yourself struggling to activate your joints after succumbing to a slumber so deep it’s seemed to have left you with rigor mortis.

As you sit up, an unfamiliar layer of fuzzy fabric slides from your shoulders. A blanket! Ah, that explains the extra warmth. But you don’t remember bringing a blanket with you… and you’ve never seen this particular blanket in your entire life. Sure, it’s cozy and high-quality, but the pattern of wide-open eyes littered across the black cloth is off-putting – although, not entirely unpleasant.

Oh shoot, did someone put this on you? Have you been discovered?

“Hello.”

Spooked, you whip your head to the side, where you had not even registered the presence of another living being. “Ahh!!!”

“I did not mean to frighten you. I apologize.”

Are you – are you dreaming?

You must be dreaming. They term isn’t “yumejoshi” for no reason. There is no way Choso squats in front of you, less than a meter away, so close that you can smell his earthy, metallic fragrance. He hasn’t even changed out of his stage costume: his customary white robes are still soaked through with sweat from the earlier performance, gracing the pale fabric a tantalizing semi-translucence. His purple gi is nowhere to be found, which exposes the unholy caverns of his collarbones, the inviting jut of his skeletal sternum. The signature pigtails are also undone, leaving his stringy black hair to metastasize down the sides of his gaunt face, across the barren valley of his jagged shoulder blades. And yet, that solid bar of black remains perfectly applied across the center of his face.

“…Nn?”

“Are you alright?”

Choso stays where he is, head cocked in concern. Quickly, you realize you have two options.

You can tell the truth and admit that you’d been waiting outside just to see him walk a few paces before getting into a nondescript vehicle. Totally normal fan behavior that will definitely go over well.

Or, you can lie.

“I-I don’t have anywhere else to go,” you demure, casting your eyes down in false bashfulness. You would feel bad about this if you were a better person. “And the memories from ShinShow’s performances always sustain me…I just thought, if I could enjoy the positive energy for a little while longer…I would be sustained. I’m sorry…”

“Why do you apologize?”

One of Choso’s most appealing charming points is his overly formal, somewhat antiquated manner of speaking. He sounds like a historical figure who has been yanked from the past, inserted haphazardly into contemporary pop culture. Very fitting for his lore. But you’d also been under the assumption that this was merely a stage act – is he that committed to his image? Or is it innate?

The thought of Choso simply being Like That is too endearing to bear. You hide your face behind your palms, concealing the tremulous smile that possesses your lips.

“It’s embarrassing… and I’ve troubled Choso-nii…”

The last thing you expect are cold, impossibly cold, hands to wrap around your wrists, kindly (but firmly) uncovering your face. Choso has drawn closer to you, so close that when he breathes, it brushes the bridge of your nose.

His face is impassive, as usual – but upon closer inspection, you notice a strange, wavering quality in his eyes, a slight tremor in his lips. There might actually be color on the tips of his ears. Usually, he appears as though he is so pale there is no blood coursing through his veins that could produce a blush.

Evidently, this is not the case.

“Choso-nii is not troubled,” he states plainly, leaving no room for argument. “The night is no place for a little one to be sleeping unguarded.”

Oh, you could faint here and now. It’s an active choice on your part to remain conscious. “Mn…”

“You will come with me now.”

And so you do.

This is how you find yourself in the back of an unmarked, utilitarian white van. To anyone else the vehicle would appear as little more than a maintenance truck. But you know better.

Inside the living-quarters is a mish-mash of discarded clothing items in varying degrees of cleanliness; discarded guitar picks; empty takeout containers; and a random jumble of electronic chargers. Inexplicably, there is also an abundance of first-aid supplies, with over half of it apparently already used. As he sits you down on one of the distressed leather seats, Choso uses the medical kit to tend to a few scrapes on your legs and arms earned from your impromptu nap on the concrete.

“It’s really not that bad…You don’t have to—”

“Enough.”

Embarrassed, you shut your mouth. How do you even cope with this situation? Here you are, in the back of your oshi’s travel van, as he sits on his knees in front of you, hands impatiently pushing your clothes away to reveal your bare skin. His touch leeches the body heat out of you like a parasite. You want to be sucked dry.

“This will sting.” That’s all the warning you get before hydrogen peroxide is unceremoniously dumped on your fresh scrapes.

Unbidden, you let out a strangled whine, hands flying to the closest part of him you can reach – which happens to be his head. You clutch at his hair to absolve you of your suffering. “Choso-nii! It hurts!”

Ker-thlunk. Glug… glug… glug…

Fuck! Your spasming must have knocked over the hydrogen peroxide…. the upended bottle spills its guts across the floor, drenching the air in an oppressively medicinal stink.

Oddly, no irritancy mars Choso’s features. If anything, he looks more flustered than you feel, which doesn’t make much sense to you.

“I’m so sorry! I c-can clean it up, I promise---”

“Leave it.” He speaks without meeting your eyes. “You are injured.”

Barely, you want to retort. But acknowledging the fact that your so-called “injuries” are very minor surface scrapes would shatter the illusory bubble of realized fantasy into which you have miraculously stumbled.

Before you can reply, Choso continues: “The human mouth is the fastest-healing part of the body. Saliva heals.”

“Okay,” you say, because there is nothing else you could possibly respond with. He can’t mean—surely, he doesn’t—

But there he goes, leaning in close to the supple flesh of your bared leg, breath ghosting along the very surface, raising the hairs that quiver in eager anticipation. “I said I would help you feel better. Please allow me this. It is my duty.”

And then he begins to suck on your wounds.

“Oh-kay,” you squeal, entirely convinced that you have begun to astral project. The scrape on the inside of your knee is laved over by his tongue, which is, strangely, just as chilled as the rest of him. When his eyes flick up at your exclamation, you realize that you have yet to release his hair.

Nor do you want to.

“B-be gentle, please…” You’re laying it on thick. You know it. How could you resist? He’s eating it up – literally – mouthing repeatedly over the sensitive area as though he is spiritually compelled to do so. And just because you’re a little too observant, a little too greedy for your own good, you decide to push your luck: “Will Choso-nii make me feel better everywhere?”

With a wet pop, he unleashes your leg from his wet, red mouth. “Where does it hurt,” he asks, pupils blown wide, nothing more than a twin pair of black holes.

“Mn…all over…I’m sore, from sleeping on the ground…”

Choso rises from his knees to crowd you into the back of the seat. Of course, you willingly melt back, pliant in the wake of his potent desire.

“Do you need Choso-nii to make it better?”

“Please,” you whimper, peering up at him through your dewy, tear-damp lashes.

Holy shit, you can’t believe this actually worked. Two hours ago, you were just one of hundreds of faceless, sweaty fans, screaming their hearts out to some of the most hauntingly morbid lyrics.

And now, you are caged in the unforgiving embrace of your oshi, completely at his mercy, littered in hickeys and lovebites and bruises as he has his way with you. Your sharp cries of pain do the opposite of dissuade him; with each groan and plea for him to slow down, take a pause, ow, ow, it hurts Choso-nii--, he grows all the more impassioned, all the more frantic.

He only pulls away from you when there is not a single inch of exposed skin left for him to mark. The sound of your comingled pants fill the van, fogging the windows with physical evidence of your salacious tryst.

Neither of you speak for a moment, content to simply gaze into each other’s eyes. His hair is frazzled every which way, due in no small part to your rough handling. Is it normal to be turned on by such a trainwreck of a human? Should you really be wet between the thighs at being mauled?

“Do—” his voice cracks in a way you have never heard before, not on any livestream, not in any video, not on any stage. “Do you feel better, now?”

Maybe it’s fate…maybe, somewhere out there, far, far away, there is a benevolent being who wants nothing but the best for you. Maybe they concentrated their divine powers into finding you, in this moment, and directing your gaze to the loose pocketknife innocently resting on the grimy floor next to his clunky black platforms. In this moment, as you pick up the blade, unsheathing it without breaking eye contact with the ghoulish specter hovering above you, an inexplicable wave of love and appreciation washes over you, bathing your half-dressed body in the warm waters of some distant, far-off shore.

It's almost too easy to slice a surface wound – a cat-scratch, really – into the plush swell of your upper thigh.

“What about here, Choso-nii?” You ask, enraptured by the peculiar twitching of his facial muscles. “Can you kiss it better right here?”

Once again, you are right on the money.

Choso dives to chase the rivulet of blood running down your leg like a man stumbling across an oasis in the desert. Devotionally, he tongues at the gory slit, sucking more blood from your self-inflicted wound, moaning as if he is the one being pleasured right now. In a strange way, you think he might be.

Your initial quick-thinking unleashes an outlandish chain reaction which finds you, inevitably, entirely unclothed with a not-insignificant amount of reddening slashes across your naked form. When it’s all said and done, Choso will tend to each and every cut, diligently disinfecting and dressing the disrupted flesh, allowing you to weakly tug at his hair (now pulled back from his face into two twin pigtails) when it burns.

Upon the final swipe of antibacterial ointment, you are halfway in dreamland, barely cognizant enough to recognize that you should probably be getting the hell out of here, at this point. However, shunning reason and common sense is the exact behavior that’s gotten you this far – so you decide to stick to what you know.

“Choso-nii,” you murmur groggily into the leather seat. “Blanket?”

“What blanket?”

His confusion is confusing you. “The one you gave me… ‘s cold…”

“…I did not give you a blanket.” For the first time since he’d picked you up behind the venue, Choso’s voice sounds grounded in reality. Released from the shackles of lust and taboo desire, he speaks with lucid candor. “Was that blanket not yours?”

“Nope,” you hum, blissfully dazed. “Where ‘s ‘t?”

Sleep descends upon your worn, battered form before you hear his answer.

Oh well. As long as Choso-nii is nearby, you have nothing to worry about.

He was Sunshine, I was Midnight Rain

Masterlist || Taglist Form

Pairing: CEO! Fashion Designer! Seokmin x Rival Company CEO! Fashion Designer! fem! Reader Genre: fluff, Angst( a little bit), smut (more suggestive and soft honestly)- MDNI Words: 1.4K Synopsis: He was sunshine and roses and you were orchids and moonlight. Two very different people in the same industry. He was loved and you were feared, he was a warm cup of tea on a cold day and you were a bucket of ice-cold water. What would happen if two highly sought-after, up-and-coming sustainable fashion brands decided to work together on an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime collaboration? A/N: Hi Hi, this is my contribution to the @svthub 's secret garden: a spring collab! You can read the stories for the rest of the members here! Please go and check them out! This went very differently than what I had planned in the beginning. Nonetheless, I had fun writing it and I hope you guys would forgive the shortage of smut!

Taglist: @junhui-recs @drunk-on-dk @kayleeshinee @wonuhour @enhacolor

One spring afternoon, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom and their sweet fragrance lingered in the air, Seokmin arrived at your office, early as usual, a habit that had been passed down to him from his mother. He was currently sitting in the waiting area, waiting for you to finish the previous meeting you were in, as he took in the decor.

Everything in this area was about the silhouette, the off-white triangle marble table, that played off the triangle in the gold and beige abstract painting that was hanging on the wall opposite to him.

The only pop of color in this waiting area was a single blue orchid branch that was in an off-white cuboid-shaped vase sitting on the triangle table.

Seokmin's office was probably the complete 180 of your space, with warm-colored walls, cozy rugs, and an excessive amount of indoor plants.

The difference in office decor could be directly translated to the designs the two of you had put out in the world.

Your designs were all about shapes and architecture, minimalist in color, while Seokmin was famous for his nature-inspired creations, full of vibrance and life.

This collaboration was far from comfortable for both of you, but both of your companies needed the exposure and the money.

Sustainably sourcing materials while giving fair wages was not an easy task, especially for a newer brand like Seokmin's. But his top priority had been to keep his products affordable, which meant smaller quantities produced as there were very slim margins and they couldn't afford huge inventories. His designs had become a huge talking point in the resellers' market. His CFO, Mingyu, had told him to raise the prices, as both demand and quality of goods were on his side or his company would go under. Seokmin had agreed to this collaboration to justify the price rise (mostly to himself, as the world already knew how valuable his products were).

Your company, on the other hand, wanted the fame. You wanted to compete (and beat) the old luxury brands that mass-produced their boring products in sweatshops, sacrificed animals for "quality leather and fur", and had in general shady history. You'd fought tooth and nail over the years to get to where you were, but you needed a final big push to get to where these other brands were. Hence, this collaboration. You'd worked your ass off and you knew you deserved it.

Your secretary finally called out his name, and guided him to your office, but not before letting him know she was a huge fan of his work and was excited for him and her boss to collaborate.

Seokmin had probably seen you once or twice in passing at fashion events but seeing you fully, sitting in your office chair with the back of a drawing pencil between your teeth and a single strand of hair escaping your bun and almost touching your lips was probably the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.

He was instantly reminded of the orchid back in the waiting area.

Orchids epitomize luxury, strength, beauty, and love. Seokmin didn't really know about the love portion yet, but there was a magnetism about you and your aura...and he couldn't peel his eyes away.

The meeting went surprisingly smoothly, as even though your expressions of art were polar opposites, your views on sustainability and your respect for each other's work and process instantly made you friends. It felt like you'd known Seokmin for years, talking to him felt so easy and natural. It also helped that he was (far too) easy on the eyes.

The two of you also shared a new similarity now... unknowing to the other, you'd both become each other's muses. When your meeting was over, both of you went to your studio and came up with designs that reminded you of the other. You drew sharp lines, inspired by Seokmin's chiseled face and strong arms while imagining what it must be like to be held lovingly by him while running a hand across his jaw. He drew big, bold, beautiful petals, full of vivacity and panache that you encapsulated. To the world, you might've seemed cold and harsh, a shade of grey, but in his eyes (and heart), you were a beautiful burst of colors.

You both had, quite literally, become each other's object of affection.

...

The two of you had decided to visit together places that inspired the other to find inspiration and come up with designs together.

You took him to the local library that was built on Roman-inspired architecture, with big beautiful columns and elegantly carved archways. He took a lot of pictures with his camera that was hung around his strong neck by a red strap. He looked effortlessly sexy in black jeans and a black t-shirt, and you had to practically stop yourself from jumping him when he correctly observed a carved flower in one of the archways that was the inspiration for one of your early collections.

He took you to his favorite park and you sat on the ground underneath a banyan tree, hearing the chirping of birds, seeing flowers swing in the air in full spring bloom. You wore a purple dress and talked about your journey to reach where you were today, the challenges and hardships you overcame to become who you were, and Seokmin was yet again reminded of the beautiful orchid, your strength and beauty unparalleled.

...

You had your first fight a few weeks later, frustrated by the deadline and the lack of progress, you had screamed at him. And then he grew quiet. And did not talk to you for the rest of the week. It was as though the entire world had drained out of color. There was no joy in the world, the spring flowers in the park seemed duller, and the chirping of the birds seemed quieter as you sat down under the banyan tree again, hoping to find some solace, mustering up the courage to go and apologize to him.

Fate, on the other hand, had other plans.

Seokmin had left his house for the park the first time that week after the fight, hoping to cheer himself up and watch some flowers. On his way, he saw a little girl with a bouquet full of orchids, and his heart hurt like a thousand needles had punctured it. As he entered the park, he saw you sitting under the tree.

He sat down next to you, and you cried into his shoulder, apologising profusely. He only gave you, what you could describe as, the brightest, sunniest smile you'd ever seen. Your heart skipped a beat.

You wiped your face, held his with your hands, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. His heart skipped two.

...

After that day, there was a sense of harmony between you two. It was as though all the design differences, creative blocks, every problem in the world had vanished away. Soon, it was the launch day.

There was a party, celebrating the launch of the collaboration and as soon as the collection dropped, it was out of stock.

It was a milestone, for both of you as your peers at the party congratulated you, out of admiration and envy. But nothing and nobody mattered because Seokmin was looking at you with so much joy and adoration that there, in front of all the eyes in the world, you kissed him. You were feeling vulnerable inside, exposing your weakness, your feelings in front of everyone. You had finally shown your color to the world.

Seokmin kissed you back immediately, his heart dissolving into a puddle, overwhelmed by his feelings and yours. He felt like he was floating in the sky. He'd been wanting to kiss you ever since he laid eyes on you.

Later that night, after countless congratulations and overwhelmingly positive reviews, Seokmin made love to you. Each touch was addicting, your skin was soft as petals, your perfume was sweet as nectar as he kissed and touched every inch of your body, remembering and repeating what gave you the most pleasure. You were soft, and warm, like a warm, warm blanket on a cold night, he never wanted this night to end.

His orchid was in full bloom, her beauty and her strength was a luxury to see up close....and Seokmin was in love.

(On your first anniversary, you and Seokmin would go on to gift one another the designs you'd made after meeting each other for the first time.)

It’s time for another piano lesson. As an incentive to re-learning what you haven’t retained into adulthood, I am to be the embodiment of the teacher you pined for as an adolescent. You blame her pulchritude and intoxicating scent on the distraction from the focus needed to master your budding musical talents. Of course, you were at the mercy of your hormones and reacting as any young, red-blooded boy to those pivotal sexual rumblings. However, you consider it unfinished business and unfulfilled fantasies. The lingerie is as you imagined, lacy, shape-defining and bright cherry red. I’m dressed in a demure floral frock, with a few buttons open to hint at the fullness of my plump breasts. I am barefoot, because she insisted you slip off your sneakers so her contact on yours could guide you in the pedal work to sustain a note or soften your keyboard attack. You dreamed of nuzzling her bosoms, losing yourself between them as they inflated with her passion for the music she played as an example of a thunderous forte. We work on octaves and repetitive runs to strengthen your finger’s dexterity, and I reward you with another button on my dress… until it is completely open to your gaze and touch. My small feet press upon your larger adult-sized ones to vary the volume, the provocation also produces a stunning tent in your trousers. I marvel at the reflexive growth as you are lost in conjuring your memories. You complete a short concerto piece with precision and ask for a gold star. I suggest you will find your achievement award hidden between my legs… but you must keep practicing, while you search, to reach perfection. Nuzzling my neck, you slip my open dress off my shoulders. Your hands tremble as you grasp my breasts in your hands and fondle them affectionately. Moaning from the past unrequited memories, you lift me onto the keyboard, created a slightly sharp jumble of harmony. I check your finger placement on either side of my wide-spread thighs and suggest you commence. The pace is slow as you take inventory of the lusciousness seated before you. I kiss your forehead and lick the rim of your ears as I whisper encouragement. You respond by dipping closer and closer into my lap to inhale the fragrance, finally laying your head across it as you continue to play. I stroke your hair and try my best to imitate your long ago instructor. “Excellent, you no longer need to watch your hands, you’re feeling the music in your fingertips. That’s it… don’t forget to breathe, so your movements are fluid.” Your nose is leading you deeper into my warm frangrant crevice and has become a first point of contact. Massaging the moist lace with it, I gasp from the delightful targeting and the middle C that is triggered by your relentless movement. Humming with contentment, and in harmony with your playing, I lean back murmuring

“Very nice… so good… perfection… such a talented student…”

My dangling foot gravitates to your significant bulge to press and wiggle my toes against it as you play me… and for my approval. We groan together, a major third apart, as you raise your head to meet my eyes in grateful response. I nod in time with the music and the deep syncopated tapping of my foot upon you.

“I'm so impressed with your progress…”

The timing is perfect for slipping my panties from my twitchy hips as I slip off the ivories to straddle you, then gradually ease myself onto your unfurled probe. You accompany my descent with an improvised run though all 7 octaves from perfunctory to profound. Once I am seated and feeling your glorious throbbing, we use its pace to propel our movement, as you resume your lesson with a deafening symphonic denouement.

Beyond Beauty: The Fascinating World of Flowers

Flowers. They grace our gardens, brighten our homes, and star in countless bouquets. But beyond their undeniable aesthetic appeal, flowers hold a secret universe waiting to be explored. From their complex life cycles to their vital role in our ecosystem, these colorful wonders are far more than just pretty faces. So, dive in with us as we delve into the captivating world of flowers!

*A Symphony of the Senses: Our love affair with flowers is a multi-sensory experience. Their vibrant colors - from the fiery reds of roses to the delicate lavenders of lilacs - are a feast for the eyes. Many boast intoxicating fragrances, like the heady sweetness of jasmine or the crisp citrus of lilies. Their velvety textures and intricate shapes further engage our senses, making them a true delight to behold.

*From Bud to Bloom: The Life Cycle Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants, and their journey from bud to bloom is a marvel of nature. Sheltered within a tight bud, a flower patiently waits for the right conditions. When triggered by factors like sunlight and temperature, the bud unfurls, revealing the magnificent bloom we know and love. This process, called pollination, allows plants to reproduce, ensuring the continuation of their species.

*Nature's Pollinators: A Delicate Dance Pollination is a fascinating dance between flowers and their animal partners. Flowers entice these visitors with vibrant colors, sweet smells, and even nectar rewards. In turn, bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other creatures flit from bloom to bloom, unknowingly transferring pollen, fertilizing the plant, and allowing it to produce seeds. This intricate relationship ensures the survival of both flowers and pollinators.

*A Blossoming Ecosystem: Flowers are not just beautiful; they are essential players in our ecosystem. They provide food not only for pollinators but also for countless herbivores. Birds, rabbits, and even some mammals rely on flowers and their fruits for sustenance. Additionally, decaying flowers return valuable nutrients to the soil, enriching it for future plant growth.

*The Language of Flowers: For centuries, flowers have carried symbolic meanings, forming a silent language of love, friendship, and even grief. From the passionate red rose to the innocent white daisy, each bloom holds a hidden message. Understanding this floral language adds a new dimension to gift-giving and allows you to express yourself in a truly unique way.

*Nurturing Nature's Splendor: From lush gardens to cozy windowsills, cultivating your own flowers is a fulfilling journey. Observing their growth and transformation up close fosters a profound admiration for their intricate beauty and resilience. With a vast array of species to explore, each one boasts its own distinct character and allure, inviting you to discover and cherish their individuality.

*Beyond the Bloom: The world of flowers extends far beyond the garden. From the towering sunflowers that dot fields to the delicate wildflowers peeking through cracks in the pavement, they add a touch of magic to our everyday lives. Flowers inspire artists, poets, and designers, their beauty translated into countless works of art, music, and fashion.

So, the next time you encounter a flower, take a moment to appreciate its wonder. It's a testament to the exquisite design of nature, a vital part of our ecosystem, and a source of endless beauty and joy. From their captivating colors to their life-sustaining roles, flowers remind us of the incredible world around us.

The Appeal of Custom Candles

The trend towards customizing personal items has reached the candle market, allowing individuals to express their creativity and create products that perfectly suit their preferences. Whether it's for personal use, a thoughtful gift, or event favours, designing candles online adds a personal touch that mass-produced items cannot match.

How to Design Candles Online

Designing your candle is a simple yet rewarding process. You can grab your own candle-making kits online or at the nearest available store.

Start by choosing your base wax—soy wax is popular for its clean burn and environmental friendliness.

Next, select your scent; essential oils can add a therapeutic dimension to your candle, whether you're seeking relaxation, an energy boost, or a memory trigger.

Finally, choose your colour and container, keeping in mind the decor of the space where the candle will be used.

Tips for Designing Your Candle

When creating your candle, consider the mood you want to evoke. For relaxation, lavender or chamomile scents are perfect; for a refreshing atmosphere, citrus or mint may be ideal. Think about the colour psychology—soft blues and greens for calm, vibrant reds and oranges for energy. And remember, the container is part of the experience; select one that complements your space and can be repurposed later.

The Added Value of Essential Oils in Candles

Synergy Between Candles and Essential Oils

Candles infused with essential oils do more than just smell good; they offer therapeutic benefits that can enhance your wellbeing. The right blend can aid in stress relief, improve sleep quality, and even boost your mood. This synergy between the visual and olfactory senses can transform any room into a haven of peace or a vibrant space of energy and creativity.

Best Essential Oils for Candles

For those seeking relaxation, lavender and chamomile are unmatched. Peppermint and eucalyptus can clear your mind and invigorate your senses. For a cosy, comforting atmosphere, vanilla and cinnamon are perfect. Incorporating these oils into your custom-designed candles ensures a product that's not only beautiful to look at but also beneficial to your well-being.

The world of candles offers an endless spectrum of possibilities, from exploring the exquisite offerings of top candle brands to diving into the creative process of designing your candles online.

Whether you're drawn to the artisanal charm of established brands or the personalized touch of a custom-made candle, there's a perfect candle out there for every space, mood, and occasion.

Don't Just Mask It: Eliminate Wastewater Odors with Bioculture

Wastewater treatment plants are essential for protecting public health and the environment. However, one of the biggest challenges they face is controlling unpleasant odors. These odors are not only a nuisance to nearby communities, but they can also be a sign of underlying issues within the treatment process. Traditional methods often focus on masking odors, but a more effective and sustainable solution lies in harnessing the power of bioculture.

Understanding the Source of the Stench

Wastewater contains a complex mix of organic materials that decompose and release foul-smelling gases like hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell), ammonia, and mercaptans. These odors are produced by anaerobic bacteria that thrive in oxygen-depleted environments.

Traditional odor control system wastewater methods often involve:

Chemical masking: Using fragrances to cover up the smell. This is a temporary fix and doesn't address the root cause.

Carbon adsorption: Passing the odorous air through activated carbon filters to trap the gases. This can be expensive and requires frequent filter replacement.

Bioculture: A Natural Solution for Odor Control in Wastewater Treatment

Bioculture offers a more sustainable and effective approach to odor control in wastewater treatment. It involves introducing beneficial microorganisms into the wastewater system. These microorganisms break down the organic matter that causes odors, converting them into harmless byproducts.

Here's how it works:

Targeted Microorganisms: Bioculture manufacturers carefully select and cultivate specific strains of bacteria and enzymes that are highly effective at degrading odor-causing compounds.

Enhanced Biological Processes: These microorganisms enhance the natural biological processes in the wastewater treatment system, improving efficiency and reducing sludge production.

Long-term Odor Control: By addressing the root cause of the odor, bioculture provides a long-term solution, unlike temporary masking agents.

Benefits of Using Bioculture

Environmentally Friendly: Bioculture is a natural and sustainable solution that doesn't rely on harsh chemicals.

Cost-Effective: It can reduce operating costs by improving treatment efficiency and reducing the need for expensive odor control systems.

Improved Air Quality: Bioculture effectively eliminates odors, creating a healthier environment for plant workers and surrounding communities.

Enhanced Treatment Efficiency: By optimizing the biological processes, bioculture can improve the overall efficiency of the wastewater treatment plant.

Choosing the Right Bioculture Solution

Working with a reputable bioculture manufacturer is crucial to ensure you get the right solution for your specific needs. They can provide expert advice on:

Microbial Selection: Identifying the most effective microorganisms for your wastewater composition.

Dosage and Application: Determining the optimal dosage and application method for your treatment system.

Monitoring and Optimization: Regularly monitoring the system and adjusting the bioculture program as needed.

Bioculture: A Sustainable Future for Wastewater Treatment

As the world becomes increasingly focused on sustainability, bioculture offers a promising solution for odor control in wastewater treatment. By harnessing the power of nature, we can effectively eliminate odors, protect the environment, and improve the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes.

If you're looking for a long-term and sustainable solution to wastewater odor problems, consider partnering with a bioculture manufacturer to implement a customized bioaugmentation program. Don't just mask the problem – eliminate it at the source!

Market Growth and Demand Trends

The global ice cream flavor concentrate market is expanding due to increasing demand for premium and exotic flavors.

Functional ingredients, such as probiotics and adaptogens, are also gaining traction in the flavor concentrate industry.

Technological Innovations in Flavor Concentrates

Advancements in food technology are enabling the creation of more authentic and long-lasting flavor concentrates. Techniques such as encapsulation and microemulsion help enhance flavor retention and stability, ensuring a consistent taste throughout the product's shelf life. Moreover, AI and data analytics are being used to predict emerging flavor trends, allowing manufacturers to stay ahead of consumer preferences.

Sustainability is another key driver of market evolution. Companies are increasingly adopting eco-friendly extraction processes and sourcing ingredients from sustainable farms.

Meanwhile, in Asia-Pacific, consumers are gravitating towards exotic fruit and tea-based flavors, such as matcha, taro, and black sesame.

Emerging markets in Latin America and Africa are witnessing a surge in demand for tropical fruit and traditional dessert-inspired flavors. Global brands are expanding into these regions, offering localized flavors tailored to cultural tastes and preferences.

Key players in the ice cream flavor concentrate market include Firmenich, Givaudan, Symrise, Kerry Group, Sensient Technologies, Takasago International, International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). These companies invest heavily in research and development to create unique and sustainable flavor solutions.

Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are entering the market with innovative, niche flavors that cater to specific dietary needs, such as vegan, keto-friendly, and allergen-free options. Collaborations between ice cream brands and flavor concentrate manufacturers are leading to limited-edition and seasonal offerings, driving consumer excitement.

Future Outlook

The ice cream flavor concentrate market is set to grow further, driven by evolving consumer tastes, sustainability initiatives, and technological advancements. Brands that embrace natural, innovative, and region-specific flavors will have a competitive edge in this dynamic industry.

How to Start Your Own Candle Business with Wholesale Candle Tins in India

The candle business is one of the most popular and profitable industries to enter, with demand consistently growing across India. Whether you're aiming to create scented candles, decorative candles, or eco-friendly candles, the key to standing out in a competitive market lies in high-quality products and attractive packaging. Wholesale candle tins in India provide an excellent solution for entrepreneurs looking to start their own candle business.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to launch your own candle business using wholesale candle tins in India, from finding suppliers to branding and marketing your products.

1. Research the Candle Market in India

Before diving into the candle business, it’s important to understand the market and identify potential opportunities. Research the types of candles that are trending in India, such as aromatherapy candles, soy candles, or luxury candles. Consider the preferences of Indian consumers, their price sensitivity, and their buying habits.

You should also assess the competition in your niche. Are there already established brands offering similar products? What kind of packaging do they use? Understanding the landscape will help you find a unique angle for your business, whether it’s offering premium candles, eco-friendly options, or affordable luxury products.

2. Choose the Right Type of Candles

Once you've done your market research, it’s time to choose the type of candles you want to produce. Some popular options include:

Scented Candles: These are among the most popular types of candles in India. You can create candles in a wide range of fragrances, from floral to fruity to woodsy. Scented candles are often used for relaxation, meditation, and home decor.

Decorative Candles: Candles in unique shapes, sizes, and colors are popular for decorative purposes, especially around festive seasons and special occasions.

Eco-Friendly Candles: As consumers become more eco-conscious, there is growing demand for candles made from sustainable materials, such as soy wax, beeswax, or palm wax, with eco-friendly packaging.

Luxury Candles: High-end candles often come with premium fragrances and beautiful designs. Packaging plays a crucial role in creating a luxury experience for customers.

Once you know what kind of candles you want to sell, the next step is sourcing the right wholesale candle tins in India to package them.

3. Find the Right Wholesale Candle Tins Supplier in India

The success of your candle business is greatly influenced by the quality and design of your packaging. Candle tins offer a sleek, durable, and affordable packaging solution for a variety of candle types. When sourcing wholesale candle tins in India, there are several factors to consider:

Quality of Tins: Look for suppliers who offer high-quality tins made from durable metals like tinplate or aluminum. The tins should be heat-resistant and secure to prevent any wax leakage or damage.

Customization Options: To establish your brand identity, choose a supplier who offers customization options such as custom printing, embossing, or debossing. Personalized tins with your logo and branding will make your products stand out on the shelf.

Variety of Sizes and Designs: Choose suppliers that offer a range of tin sizes and designs to cater to different candle types. Whether you're making small travel candles or large decorative candles, having a variety of options will ensure your packaging fits the product perfectly.

Price and MOQ: Compare prices across different suppliers to ensure you get the best deal. Most suppliers offer tiered pricing, with discounts for bulk orders. Be sure to check the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for each design and customization.

Consider reaching out to suppliers from well-established B2B platforms like IndiaMart, TradeIndia, or Alibaba to find reputable wholesale suppliers. Always ask for samples before making a large order to ensure the tins meet your quality standards.

4. Create Your Brand Identity

In today’s competitive market, strong branding is key to attracting customers and creating a loyal following. Your packaging, especially when it comes to candle tins, should reflect your brand’s values and story.

Logo Design: Work with a designer to create a memorable logo that represents your brand. The logo should be simple, versatile, and easily recognizable.

Color Scheme and Typography: Choose a color scheme that resonates with your target audience. Soft, muted tones may appeal to those looking for relaxing, spa-like candles, while bold, vibrant colors might attract younger buyers. Consistency in your typography and design will help create a cohesive brand image.

Eco-Friendly Messaging: If you’re focusing on eco-friendly candles, highlight this aspect in your branding. Use sustainable materials for your tins and include messaging on your packaging that informs consumers about your commitment to the environment.

Your candle tins should reflect your brand identity. Ensure that the customization process aligns with your branding vision, from the logo and colors to the finish of the tin itself.

5. Set Up Your Production Process

Once you have sourced your candle tins and finalized your branding, it’s time to set up the production process for your candles. This includes sourcing raw materials like wax, fragrance oils, and wicks, and setting up a workspace for candle production. You can either produce the candles in-house or outsource the production to a third-party manufacturer, depending on your business model and budget.

Here are a few things to consider:

Quality Control: Ensure that the candles are consistently produced to a high standard. Conduct thorough testing to ensure that your candles burn evenly and safely, and that the fragrance disperses properly.

Candle Production Equipment: Depending on the scale of your business, you may need equipment such as wax melting pots, wick holders, and pouring pitchers. For larger production volumes, you may want to invest in automated equipment to increase efficiency.

Storage and Safety: Ensure that you have adequate storage space for raw materials, finished candles, and packaging. Store candles in a cool, dry place to prevent them from melting or losing their fragrance.

6. Set Your Pricing Strategy

Pricing is one of the most important factors in running a successful candle business. You need to price your candles in a way that covers your costs while also offering value to customers. When setting your prices, consider the following factors:

Cost of Materials: Calculate the cost of wax, fragrance, wicks, tins, and any other materials used in production.

Labor Costs: If you’re hiring staff to help with production, be sure to account for their wages in your pricing.

Packaging Costs: The cost of wholesale candle tins and any customization you’ve added will factor into your pricing. Be sure to price your candles accordingly to ensure a profit.

Market Competitiveness: Research the prices of similar candles in the market. Price your products competitively while ensuring that your pricing reflects the value of your product and packaging.

7. Market Your Candle Business

Once you have your candles ready for sale, it’s time to start marketing. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest are excellent places to showcase your candles. High-quality images of your candles in their wholesale candle tins will help attract customers.

Create an Online Store: Set up an e-commerce website or sell through platforms like Etsy, Amazon, or Flipkart. Ensure that your website reflects your brand identity and provides an easy, user-friendly shopping experience.

Collaborate with Influencers: Partnering with influencers in the home decor, wellness, or eco-friendly niches can help you reach a larger audience. Influencers can share photos or reviews of your candles, increasing brand awareness.

Offer Discounts and Promotions: Launching seasonal discounts, bundle deals, or limited-edition candles can create excitement and encourage people to purchase.

Conclusion

Starting your own candle business with wholesale candle tins in India is an exciting and rewarding venture. With the right preparation, a clear branding strategy, and high-quality products, you can create a unique and successful candle brand that resonates with consumers. From selecting the best wholesale candle tins to ensuring effective marketing and pricing strategies, every aspect of your business will contribute to your success.

Like the beauty industry itself, fragrance is evolving faster than we could have ever imagined. From innovations in technology, sustainability, and product development, we’re seeing scents that extend beyond the reaches of what perfume fans ever thought possible. From perfumes developed with the help of AI to scents that feature more exciting, unexpected notes like “gummy candy,” these innovations are ushering in an era of fragrance beyond our wildest dreams. But sometimes, the true surprises come from perfume being taken back to basics.Do you know the brand Coty? You do, just not in the way you might think. Coty is one of the oldest fragrance companies in the industry that develops and produces many of your favorite brands’ fragrances, including Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Chloé, Gucci, Hugo Boss, and Balenciaga, to name a few. I’m guessing you already have a few Coty scents on your dresser right now. After years of creating some of the most well-known scents in the game, they’ve debuted their first namesake collection, for their own stake in a category they’ve been a major behind-the-scents player in for so long.Someone might ask (someone being me) why Coty would decide to launch a collection under their own name. Who is this collection for, really — the fragrance expert, or the reviewer on TikTok? The normal consumer that shops at department store fragrance counters? A move like this raises a lot of questions, and Infiniment is sure to be a pressure check for all of the above.About Infiniment Coty ParisThe Infiniment Coty Paris collection features 14 flower-forward fragrances, with a few musks, ambers, incenses, and 2024’s most popular note, vanilla, to make sure that everyone can find a scent they’ll love. Each scent is built around a hero note, but these are more than simply isolated, one-note fragrances. They’re immersive, experiential scents that bring the fragrances to life around you using only four elements: concentrated fragrance, upcycled alcohol, purified water, and Molecular Aura, a patent-pending technology that provides long-lasting wear on skin for up to 30 hours. Instead of using technology to create notes we’ve never smelled, Coty uses it to enhance what we already know and love, giving it more longevity and serving it to us in new ways. This approach both intensifies every part of the scent, and also gives them room to breathe without suffocating them with too many other notes — so you can feel the plush velvety petals, touch the pollen on the pistil, smell the pungent green stem.Coty’s CEO Sue Nabi and her longtime collaborator, Nicolas Vu, dreamed up Infiniment Coty Paris, and both envisioned the fragrance brand to also reflect their passion for fine art. This approach extends to the bottles, which feature a unique shape that allows the bottles to be stacked on top of one another and display artwork (the brand dubs this “artcycling”).Reimagining ClassicsWhile the collection is not solely made up of floral scents, flowers do take center stage. In truth, I’m not usually a fan of flowery perfumes. “I hate florals!” I’ve proudly proclaimed, as if anyone cares. But fragrance has taught me that it’s not all florals that repel me — just the classic scents that combine many fragrant flowers for a cloudy, indiscernible bouquet. These days, I approach florals with a curious caution. Decadence from Marc Jacobs showed me how boozy and mischievous rose can be, while Chanel’s Coco Noir revealed the velvety sophistication of the very same note. When I first heard about Infiniment, the collection intrigued me, but cautiously so. I had heard some fragrance industry buzz about the line, but not much on social or from, you know, real people. But something about the move intrigued me — no other background fragrance player had ever done something as daring, and promised so much. So I thought to myself, “I’LL be the judge of all that.”Coty sent me all 14 fragrances, which is a lot to cover without becoming nose blind. My rule is that you can’t really judge a scent without wearing it on the skin, so every day for one week, I wore two scents, one on each wrist and arm. I smelled crazy, but I smelled good. Overall, I really enjoyed each of the fragrances in their own way, but the below are the ones that really jumped out at me as ones I’ll be revisiting over and over again.Atomes Crochus: A Honeysuckle Hero Main notes: Honeysuckle accord, smoked green tea.Not to be crass, but holy shit. Atomes Crochus brings to life honeysuckle in a way that’s as sweet as warm summer air. It feels like a breeze blowing across golden, sun-warmed hay in the late afternoon. It’s less flower and more atmosphere.Okay fine, it’s floral. But in a way that’s nectary, grassy, and hypnotizing. I have in my notes for this one simply written “CHEWY.” I have no idea what I meant by that but I stand by it. It’s a heady overserving of honeysuckle that somehow still that leaves you craving more.After I sprayed it on my skin one morning, I spent the day bringing my wrist to my nose and wafting the scent from under my t-shirt. Atomes Crochus is a concise take on honeysuckle, but so enveloping that it will turn curiosity into obsession, and fast. I wish I was wearing it right now.J’ai Trois Amours: The Bouncy Banana Flower Main notes: Banana flower accord, trio of jasmines.Don’t worry, the banana flower doesn’t give you literal banana (but if it did, I wouldn’t be mad). It brings to life a fruity floral that’s part contemporary, part unique, and altogether an incredibly fun wear. Like its Coty sister, Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild, the banana flower adds a sweet bounce to the scent that rounds the edges of the jasmine trio notes.It does a lot without doing too much. This feels like a fragrance that could come out under any major house today and be a #PerfumeTok hit. If this were a typical launch, a scent like this would call out a large selection of notes that make the fragrance what it is, but this simplistic and refined approach offers something that feels of the moment without needing an over-the-top bottle, flashy campaign, and a celebrity face. Aristo Chypre: A Classic, ReimaginedMain notes: Chypre accord, roseReal quick: a “chypre” is the name for a specific fragrance profile, one that usually features citrus at the top, heady florals in the middle, and an animalic base of patchouli or oakmoss. Like florals, chypres are very classic and have been around forever, which I think is in part why I’m not really feeling them. Why go back to a classic we could innovate?However, if anyone has license to do a chypre, it’s Coty. They’re credited for reinventing the chypre in 1917 with their iconic “Le Chypre,” which took the category from from heavy and “masculine” to a smoother experience that appealed to everyone.Well, they’ve done it again. I was completely taken aback by how much I loved this scent. It had shades of the classic build, but with new life breathed into it from every angle. It was deep, enveloping, evolving, and full of life. It was like a celebration on my skin. Warm, sweet, green, juicy, metallic, and grounded by a lot of earthiness. I find myself hyperfixating on this one and it gets better with every wear. I want to smell it on everybody.Après L’amour: The Full-Drama Spice Main notes: Tobacco accord, cistus labdanumAs I mentioned, the outliers of this collection step away from florals and sink themselves into moments of santal, vanilla, incense, and amber. Après L’amour, or “After Love,” is, to me, the biggest departure from the minimalist concept. This blend of tobacco, cistus labdanum (a resinous note), effervescent ginger, and a melange of spices round out this collection with a classic take on a warm, spicy scent — perfect for someone like me who, until now, scoffed at any mention of florals.It’s familiar and inviting without feeling like a repetition of something you already love. Within its round warmth, the scent hides a sharp booziness that peeks out every so often, keeping it alive on the skin and safeguarding it from ever getting too heavy. For a line so focused on minimalistic, beautiful florals, this spicy amber is a welcome take on a warmer scent that still doesn’t get lost in its own design.The TakeawayThere are so many new products in fragrance right now that, if a brand is launching, they really have to bring something new to the table. Considering Coty has been at the top of the fragrance game for decades, the bar was high — but Infiniment Coty Paris really pulls its weight and gives me a reason to believe. Is it the collection for everyone? Maybe not, but it’s also not trying to be. If you’re interested in the marriage of fragrance and technology, are looking for a new take on classic notes, or are really just a fan of beautiful florals that may surprise you, you should give Infiniment Coty Paris a try immediately.
