Candle 01

Lighting this in the evening, the fig leaf and orange combo is more subtle than I expected, which I actually love—it fills the room without being pushy. Burns evenly and the scent lingers for a bit after you blow it out, like a memory of summer.

The basil and mint hit first thing when I unwrapped it, already smelling like a summer kitchen. Burned it for an hour and the fig leaf softens everything into something warm, not at all sharp. My whole hallway smells like Provence now, which is exactly what I wanted on a gray Tuesday.

Lit this in my kitchen and it genuinely felt like a summer afternoon in the south of France—the fig leaf and orange combo is more subtle than I expected, which makes it perfect for a bedroom. The scent fills the room in about fifteen minutes without being overpowering.
