The Best Candles for Summer: Scents to Match the Season
When the temps rise and the days stretch longer, there's nothing quite like lighting a candle that feels like summer in a jar. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, lounging on the porch with a book, or winding down after a sun-soaked hike, the right scent sets the mood. Here are our favorite summer candles that bring the season to life, no sunscreen required:
Grand Teton - Oakmoss, Amber & Sandalwood
Inspired by alpine air and untouched wilderness, Grand Teton blends oakmoss, crisp citrus and dry pine to transport you straight to a mountain trail. It’s fresh, clean, and wildly invigorating, perfect for your post-adventure wind-down. Think Oakmoss, Amber, Sandalwood & Sage.
Everglades - Bamboo, Green Leaves & Citrus
Citrus notes evoke the sun-drenched wetlands while bamboo brings a clean, green freshness. Delicate jasmine adds a hint of floral sweetness, echoing the beauty of its diverse flora. Green leaves complete the scent, offering a crisp, verdant aroma that captures the essence of the Everglades' tranquil marshes and winding waterways.
Austin, TX Candle - Rosemary, Sage & Lavender
Herb garden meets heatwave. Rosemary, lavender, and sage bring a spicy breeze to your space. From yoga studios to running around Town Lake, catching a show on 6th Street or wake surfing down Lake Austin, this is for those that love the outdoors and want an invigorating scent for their home.
Pair them with our Travel Candles for your weekend escapes or our Candle Club Subscription to stay stocked all season long.
Why Summer Candles Matter: Not all candles are meant for cold weather. Lighter, brighter scents complement the season’s natural energy and help freshen your space, especially if you’re cranking the A/C all day long. Think refreshing citrus, blonde woods and vanilla fragrances to lift your mood and invigorate your home.
Pro Tip: Add a reed diffuser in the entryway for flame-free summer fragrance that lasts through your vacation.
