Inspired by Rhubarb Jam
Rhubarb has a wonderfully distinctive fragrance: green, tart and instantly fresh.
This candle takes inspiration from that bright fruit character. Pear and peach bring softness, while vanilla and sugar echo the comforting sweetness of homemade jam.
As a result, the scent feels uplifting rather than heavy. It works especially well in kitchens, living rooms and light-filled spaces.
The freshness of rhubarb, softened with ripe fruit and vanilla.
Sarah’s Note
I wanted the rhubarb to stay crisp and recognisable. The pear and peach soften its sharpness, while vanilla and sugar give the fragrance the gentle warmth of jam without making it overly sweet.
