Ginger Scented Candles

Sixteen candles with ginger in the blend. Ginger is a bright spice rather than a heavy one, so it turns up in the baking scents and in a few unexpected places, like under a floral or a wood. All are hand-poured in small batches in Holland, Michigan with 100% soy wax and a lead free cotton wick, and the Luxury Coconut Soy candles use a coconut soy blend.

What ginger smells like

Ginger smells warm and peppery with a citrus snap on top, more like fresh root than like a gingerbread cookie. It gives a blend heat without the density of cinnamon or clove. Here it lifts pumpkin and vanilla in Pumpkin Soufflé, sharpens lemon in Ginger & Spice, and adds bite under patchouli and oud. It pairs with citrus, sugar, other baking spices and dark woods, and it suits anyone who wants a spiced candle that still feels bright.
