the sweet scent of summer: introducing the summer kitchen candle collection

Summer has its own rhythm. The sound of patio doors swinging open, gardens in bloom, and long evenings where the kitchen smells like fresh fruit and warm bread. This season, I've captured those nostalgic kitchen moments in our new Summer Kitchen Candle Collection. I'm a cozy girl, and even summer days can feel cozy and comforting!

why summer candles?

When the days get longer and hotter, most of us think about iced coffee and breezy linens, not candles. But summer candles do something magical: they bring the outdoors in, highlight seasonal ingredients, and give your home that something smells fresh and yummy - but with zero effort.

meet the scents

strawberry shortcake

Think ripe summer strawberries, whipped cream, and that buttery, just-out-of-the-oven shortcake. This one smells like a kitchen that’s busy (in the best way), but you don’t have to lift a mixing spoon.

peaches & cream

Soft, sweet, and creamy with just a little tang—the ultimate summer dessert. One light and you’re instantly transported to porch swings and golden hour sunsets.

veggie garden

Fresh, earthy, and green—like walking through your backyard barefoot, scissors in hand, ready to clip herbs for dinner. It’s grounding and bright all at once.

crushed basil

Herbal and zesty, this candle is the scent equivalent of fresh-picked basil on a hot summer day—slightly sweet, slightly spicy, and 100% summer kitchen chic.

how to style summer candles in your home

• On the Dining Table: Light Peaches & Cream for a soft glow during brunch or dessert nights.

• In the Kitchen: Pair Crushed Basil with fresh flowers or a small bowl of lemons for that farmer’s market vibe.

• On the Porch: Place Veggie Garden next to a potted herb plant—bonus points for a wicker tray and iced tea.

• In the Bedroom: Use Strawberry Shortcake for cozy bedtime relaxation and hopefully sweet dreams.

gift-worthy and limited batch

Each candle is hand-poured in small batches using soy wax and amber jars that look beautiful in any room. They make the perfect hostess gift, thank-you surprise, or treat-yourself moment.
