We are SO excited to finally tell you: Provider is popping up at The Galeries from 29 September to 25 October! This has been in the works for a while, and we’ve been bursting to share it with you. It’s one of the biggest things we’ve done to date. For the occasion, we’ve created a special limited-edition candle and worked with Incu, Salomon and Kinokuniya to craft three bespoke scents. We can’t wait for you to experience it all in person.

 

When:

29th Sept 2026 – 25th Oct 2026

What: 

Spend $300 at The Galeries and you can choose a candle as a gift in your favourite of our three bespoke scents.

Who: 

The Galeries, Salomon, Incu & Kinokuniya

Where:

The Galeries

500 George St, Sydney NSW 2000

The scents:

Incu

Blends fir needle, oak moss, cedar and sandalwood, evoking the feeling of a well-loved T-shirt, warmed timber floorboards and the comfort of familiar spaces.

Salomon

Combines pine, cedarwood, fir needle, sage, myrrh and palo santo, drawing directly from the landscapes and experiences at the heart of the brand, from alpine forests and snow-covered mountains to the energy of the city.

Books Kinokuniya

Fragrance of hinoki, amber, macadamia, lemon and frankincense pays homage to its Japanese heritage while capturing the feeling of discovery that defines the bookstore.

Collaborating with Tara on this reflects the deep connection we’ve built with Provider Store over the last 7 years.

Doug Low, Chief Executive Officer of Incu

To kick off the pop-up, Tara had the pleasure of teaching a workshop at Incu. It was such a special morning and a lovely way to begin our time at The Galeries.

We held the workshop inside Incu’s accessories store, with an amazing group of media guests brought together by Electric Collective. Colourblind Studio created Japanese-inspired rock sculptures and floral arrangements, while GT Studios styled the space so beautifully. It all made for a very special morning.

The collaboration extends beyond the activation, with customers able to continue enjoying their Provider Store candle through the brand’s candle refill service. Once the candle has been finished, the ceramic vessel can be cleaned and taken to Provider Store’s Surry Hills store, where, for a small refill fee, customers can select a new fragrance from the Provider scent library.
