It doesn’t matter how hot it gets, I will be burning candles all summer long, especially during those long summer nights. I loooove citrus, floral and clean scents during warm weather and today I’m sharing my absolute faves that I’m burning all summerlong. I’m only sharing candles that use 100% natural wax and essential oils as scents for a clean burn.
I Tried Fontana Candle Co Sourdough
Now this is a scent that blew me away because it’s nothing like I’ve ever tried among the dozens and dozens of non-toxic candles I’ve burned over the years. A candle that smells like a freshly baked loaf of bread!? It definitely has this cozy slightly gourmand spice cabinet scent that’s subtle but there! Fontana only uses 100% essential oils and no fragrance oils to scent their candles and Sourdough uses Buddhawood and Anise oils. I can mainly detect the Anise scent. I looove this iridescent taupe vessel that looks so aesthetic and modern in my kitchen and living room.
Price: $33 for 8 oz
How it smells: It’s sooo subtle but in a small room this candle fills up the space with a cozy non-sweet gourmand scent.
Terralite Orange Creme
I’m obseeeessed with Terralite’s Orange Creme this summer! I’ve tried all of their summer weather candle scents (Lemon Vanilla, Orange Blossom, Red Mandarin, Desert Sage, Coastal Ridge) and Orange Creme is one my absolute top favorites from this non-toxic candle line. It smells exactly like an orange creamsicle and has amazing scent throw.
The organic and wildcrafted essential oils they use are just so fragrant and high quality. Like instead of synthetic vanilla, Terralite uses vanilla bean so it smells like the vanilla is super fresh and came right out of the pod. The Sweet Orange and Tangerine combo makes orange the dominant note but layered with lots of yum coziness from vanilla.
Price: $34 for 8 oz
How it smells: exactly like an Orange creamsicle!
Flamingo Estate Adriatic Muscatel
This is such a fresh and clean scent that’s perfect for summer evenings. It smells so soothing and refreshing and fills my large living room so well. I just love how luxurious Flamingo Estate’s candles look and smell. They’re all about using ingredients grown right in their garden and I believe they use multiple species of sage in this candle. I find this candle super calming and refreshing, like an herb garden after a downpour.
Price: $60 for 8 oz
How it smells: It smells clean, refreshing and camphorous.
Terralite Lavender Lemonade
If you’re looking for a lemon candle, Terralite’s Lavender Lemonade is citrus floral HEAVEN. The lavender is sooo soothing and calming and the Italian lemon oil brings the right amount of zest. Terralite uses coconut wax, hemp core wicks and organic coconut oil plus a heaping amount of organic, wildcrafted essential oils. This is simple yet sooo good and has amazing scent throw. I can’t say enough good things about Lavender Lemonade for summer.
Price: $58 for 8 oz
How it smells: This one has got strooong scent throw and it smells exactly like a grove filled with lemons and lavender. It takes me back to my vacation in southern Italy!
Bee Lucia Wellness Candle Awakened
Bee Lucia has definitely surprised me with their non-toxic organic beeswax candles entirely scented by essential oils. Their Awakened candle is a blend of Rosemary, Litsea, Peppermint, Lemongrass & Bergamot and smells so invigorating and purifying. This is one of my favorite scents I’ve burned this summer for a reason! I loooove that they’re so affordable too for a candle that uses organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, therapeutic grade pure essential oils and ethically sourced crystals.
Price: $31.95 for 8 oz
How it smells: sooo uplifting and therapeutic! This one is perfect for aromatherapy lovers. The litsea is such a good addition.
Fontana Candle Co Honey Lemonade
This is another lemon scented non-toxic candle I’ve been loving this summer! It gives me a nostalgic vibe and has essential oils of lemon, vanilla and rosemary. It’s cozy and comforting with a hint of freshness and zest that also feels uplifting. This is great for a subtle cozy summer scent!
How it smells: It’s super subtle but smells faintly of yummy cozy lemon.
