Even the faintest hint of a particular scent has the power to transform the atmosphere or instantly transport us back to places, people and treasured memories. From setting the mood for a cosy dinner party at home to evoking memories of fresh sea air or the zesty citrus of warm summer days, a scented candle is the perfect way to add a special touch to any moment. We’ve created a list of some of our favourite summer scented candles to burn no matter the season.
Fethiye – Peony Rose & Cocoa
Transport yourself to the idyllic Fethiye district, located on Turkey’s southwestern Turquoise Coast with scents of peony rose and cocoa. This scent will have you dreaming of relaxing on the secluded coast of Butterfly Valley, taking in the breathtaking flora and fauna and gazing out across the crystal blue waters of the natural port. The rich peony rose and cocoa scent leans into the delicious rose and orange flower flavours of the delightful Turkish dessert, lokum.
The Fethiye candle is perfect for balmy evenings spent chatting with friends under a web of fairy lights that sway in the gentle breeze.

Viva – Coconut, Lemon & Lime
The Viva candle embodies the feeling of sea salt, sand and sunscreen on your sun soaked skin whilst you sip from an ice cold young coconut at a rickety beach bar in southern Mexico. The sun sits high in the sky as you seek shade and refresh yourself after a morning spent exploring the fascinating ancient history of Mexico and admiring the family heirlooms and exquisitely crafted jewellery, textiles and pottery of the Mayan Artisans.
Open the windows and let the clean summer breeze cool your home as you burn this scent on a warm afternoon in the height of summer.

When searching for your ideal summer scent, cast your mind back to long sunny afternoons, balmy evenings and the places, people and memories that bring you joy. Look for a triple scented candle that uses the highest quality, non-toxic wax and natural lead-free cotton wicks for the most intense and aromatic burn.
