Grandma’s Kitchen
Be prepared to feel nostalgic. This candle hits you with the exact same scents that wafted through grandma’s kitchen. It’s layered with notes of butter, apple, cream, cinnamon, clove, sugar cookie and vanilla. Yum! Cozy up with one of grandma’s secret cookie recipes, too.
Marshmallow Fireside
You’ll be transported to a cozy bonfire every time you light this beautiful candle. It combines notes of toasted marshmallow and smoldering wood for a simple yet striking scent. Now, who wants s’mores?
Basil and Mint
Keep this beauty in your kitchen for the fresh, bright scent and the culinary inspiration. The wood wick helps the candle burn cleanly and makes a nice crackling sound that feels really homey. Plus, each order comes with a recipe inspired by the scent and details about the candle’s woman artisan maker.
Vanilla Latte
Be careful you don’t try to take a sip out of this coffee-inspired candle—it looks (and smells!) exactly like a latte! You’ll enjoy notes of vanilla, steamed milk and dark roast coffee. Make your own coffee shop drinks at home with these copycat recipes.
Pears and Brandy
This unexpected candle scent will quickly become your new favorite. It’s a tantalizing combination of sweet, succulent pears and rich, cask-aged brandy. We love burning it next to a crackling fire in the cooler months, but it’s delightful all year long. If you love candles, check out Vellabox.
Pineapple Cilantro
While the scent is arguably the most important part of a candle, we’re fans of a pretty vessel, too. This tropical candle gives you both. Peppery cilantro and sweet pineapple dominate the fragrance profile, while a cheery ceramic pineapple holds the wax. Is anyone else craving a piña colada all of a sudden?
