Citrus Scented Candles

What citrus smells like

Citrus is the top note of a blend, so it is the part you notice first and the part that fades first. It smells like peel and juice, sharp and clean, with a slight bitterness in grapefruit and bergamot and more sweetness in orange and tangerine. In this collection citrus either carries the whole candle or wakes up something heavier, like the cinnamon in Mulled Cider. It pairs with sugar, green notes, sea salt and light woods, and it suits people who want a room to feel awake.

Common questions

What does a citrus candle smell like?
Peel and juice. Bright and clean, sweeter in orange and tangerine, sharper and more bitter in grapefruit and bergamot.

Which room suits a citrus candle?
Kitchens and bathrooms first, then any room that smells stale. Citrus is the fastest way to make a space feel freshly opened.

Is citrus a good year round scent?
Yes. Lemon and grapefruit read like summer, and spiced versions like Mulled Cider and Winter Spice carry citrus straight through the cold months.

How long do these burn?
Burn time goes by size. A 5 oz burns 50 or more hours, a 7 oz 60 or more, a 9 oz 65 or more and a 10 oz 80 or more.
