1. Lemon and verbena: a sparkling duo

Lemon brings a tangy and tonic touch, ideal for refreshing a room or a terrace. Combined with verbena, with its slightly herbal and lemony notes, it gives a vivid and invigorating scent, perfect for long summer evenings. Plus, this blend helps keep mosquitoes away!

2. Fresh mint: purity and instant freshness

Mint is synonymous with freshness, cleanliness, and lightness. Lighting a fresh mint candle is a bit like opening a window onto a garden after the rain. This fragrance is highly appreciated during warm evenings, especially after a hearty dinner or alongside a mint-based cocktail, like a mojito.

3. Eucalyptus: woody freshness

With its powerful and slightly camphorated scent, eucalyptus purifies the air while diffusing a sense of freshness. It’s a perfect scent if you're looking for a zen, almost spa-like atmosphere for a calmer and restorative summer evening.

4. Cucumber and aloe vera: a vegetal and light touch

Less known but just as refreshing, the combination of cucumber and aloe vera brings a green, clean, and very discreet scent. Ideal for those who enjoy soft atmospheres without pronounced fragrance. It evokes the freshness of water, plants, and clean linen in the sun.

5. Cotton flower or clean linen: comforting freshness

If you are a fan of soft and comforting fragrances, notes of cotton flower or clean linen are made for you. They recreate the sensation of freshly washed sheets, perfect for a quiet summer evening at home, window open and golden light.

6. White tea or green tea: subtle and soothing

White tea or green tea-based scents are highly appreciated in summer for their lightness, purity, and elegance. These are subtle fragrances, both fresh and slightly floral, which appeal to the greatest number. Perfect for a summer dinner or an evening reading on the balcony.

And why not a personalized blend?

With some artisans (maybe you!), it’s possible to find or create candles with unique blends. For example:

  • Basil & lime

  • Grapefruit & rosemary

  • Mint & eucalyptus

  • Iced tea & jasmine flower

These scents can surprise and charm with their originality and freshness.

Summer, the perfect season to light up freshness

Contrary to popular belief, candles are not just for autumn or winter. In summer too, they create a unique atmosphere—dimmed, scented, and soothing. Just choose the right scents: fresh, green, citrus or slightly floral.

So, ready to find your favorite summer fragrance? 💛
