Inspired by Summer Citrus Marmalade
Summer Citrus Marmalade brings together several citrus fruits, each contributing a different kind of brightness.
This candle follows the same idea. Orange adds sweetness, grapefruit brings a slightly sharper edge, while lemon and lime create freshness and energy.
As a result, the fragrance feels lively and clean rather than heavy. It works beautifully in kitchens, living rooms, garden rooms and light-filled summer spaces.
A little jar of citrus sunshine.
Sarah’s Note
I wanted this candle to capture the energy of several citrus fruits rather than smell of just one. Orange gives sweetness, grapefruit adds character, and lemon and lime bring the sharp, sparkling finish.
A Fresh Citronella-Style Fragrance
The blend has a light citronella-style character because of its bright lemon and lime notes.
However, orange, grapefruit, sugar and musk make the fragrance softer, fruitier and more rounded than a traditional citronella scent.
Please note that we describe this comparison as a fragrance style only. We do not sell or present the candle as an insect repellent.
