🍍 Fruity, fresh, and just the right amount of beachy

☀️ Want to bottle up summer and light it on fire (in a good way)?

Summer is the season of open windows, citrusy drinks, sandy toes, and sun-warmed skin. It’s light, vibrant, and full of movement—and the right candle can bring that feeling inside, whether you're stuck working from home or throwing a backyard bash.

But here’s the thing: not all summer candles are created equal.

Some smell like a sunscreen aisle. Others are too sweet. But the best ones? They strike a perfect balance between fresh, fruity, beachy, and breezy—making your whole space feel like a sun-drenched escape.

Whether you want a candle that smells like a tropical cocktail or a cool ocean breeze, here are the best summer candle scents to brighten every corner of your home.
