เทียนซัทสึมะ

The soy wax burns so cleanly that the citrus scent stays fresh without any smoky aftertaste, which surprised me. I mostly keep it on the counter for decoration, but when I do light it, the blood orange is like a little burst of California sunshine in my kitchen.

I’m not usually a candle person, but this one’s got me hooked—the soy wax burns clean and that blood orange scent fills the whole kitchen without being cloying. Even unlit, the decorative jar looks great on my counter, though I do keep it on a heatproof dish just in case.

My kitchen has smelled like a fancy cocktail bar all week, even though I keep this purely as decoration on a shelf. The soy wax looks clean and modern, and the blood orange scent is strong enough to hit you the second you walk in the room.
