With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.

Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?

We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.

Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.

## The World Makes Scents

Some brands begin with a business plan. **The World Makes Scents** began with a childhood memory.

Founder **Raksmey** grew up in a small farming village at the foot of Han Chey Mountain in Cambodia, near the Mekong River. As a child, she watched elderly women at a local Buddhist temple handcraft incense using dried herbs, flowers, roots, and resins gathered from the surrounding rainforest. Curious to learn, she earned their trust by helping with daily chores before they taught her this centuries-old tradition of making incense entirely from plants.

Years later, after moving to the United States, Raksmey rediscovered her craft during the pandemic. Disappointed by the heavily perfumed incense commonly available, she began making the natural incense she remembered from home—using only whole botanical ingredients and the traditional methods she had learned as a young girl. What started as a personal project soon became **The World Makes Scents**.

Today, every incense blend is handcrafted in Chicago using **100% natural plant ingredients**. The company never uses synthetic fragrances, perfumes, charcoal, dyes, fragrance oils, or burn-enhancing chemicals. Instead, Raksmey grinds whole herbs, woods, flowers, and spices herself to create fragrances that reflect the true scent of the plants they come from. Every ingredient is openly listed because she believes customers deserve to know exactly what they are bringing into their homes.

Beyond creating beautiful incense, The World Makes Scents is committed to preserving a cultural tradition that is slowly disappearing. During a return trip to Cambodia, Raksmey visited one of the last remaining incense makers from her village, who shared her family's traditional recipe and encouraged her to continue passing the craft on to future generations. The company also supports Raksmey's family by purchasing herbs and botanicals from their farm whenever possible, helping sustain both the local community and its agricultural heritage.

At Clozist, we're proud to welcome The World Makes Scents to our community of thoughtful, purpose-driven brands. Their incense is more than a home fragrance—it's a celebration of craftsmanship, transparency, cultural heritage, and the belief that natural ingredients can create moments of peace, mindfulness, and connection.
