“This was a trial for me… home run. Nice sweet aroma smell with a bit of fruitfulness… great job!”
Light this when you want your home to feel like early summer-- ripe fruit, warm florals, soft musk — the candle people pick up, smell, and immediately buy for someone they love.
There's a farmers market stand in late July where the apricots are so ripe they bruise if you look at them wrong. That's what this smells like—minus the bruising.
Blush Apricot has actual fruit in there. Apricot and nectarine, not artificial peach ring candy. Pear keeps it light. Jasmine sits underneath without being perfume-y. Then there's vanilla and patchouli at the base that give it weight, keep it from being too sweet.
It's a fruit candle that doesn't smell like dessert. The kind of scent that works in rooms where you'd never burn something called "Summer Berry Blast."
This one's worth having on hand before someone asks what you're burning.
How to Use: Trim the wick to ¼ inch before the first light. Let the wax melt edge to edge on that first burn — about an hour — to prevent tunneling. Keep individual burns to 1.5 hours maximum and let the candle cool completely before moving it. When roughly ½ inch of wax remains, retire the candle, wash the jar with hot soapy water, and put it to use.

Blush Apricot smells like ripe stone fruit at a farmers market in late July. The top notes are real apricot and nectarine — fruit-forward but not candy-sweet — with pear adding a lighter, juicier edge. Jasmine sits in the middle without tipping into perfume territory. The base is vanilla and patchouli with a touch of vetiver, which gives the scent weight and keeps it from feeling too sweet or one-dimensional. It reads as warm, fruity, and a little floral, with enough depth to work in a living room or bedroom rather than just a bathroom.
No. Most fruit candles lean on artificial peach-ring or candy-store accords — the smell of dessert, not actual fruit. Blush Apricot was built around real stone fruit notes balanced by florals and a grounded vanilla-patchouli base. The result is a fruit candle that smells like the fruit itself, not like a sugar bomb. Customers tell us it smells "expensive" or ask what perfume they're smelling. If you've avoided fruit candles because they all smell like fake peach, this is the one to try.
It's one of our most popular gift candles, and there's a reason — people pick it up off the shelf at our retail store, smell it, and immediately decide to buy one for someone else. The scent reads as polished and unisex-leaning-feminine without being too floral or too sweet. It works for housewarmings, birthdays, hostess gifts, Mother's Day, teacher appreciation, or just because. The 6oz jelly jar gives it presence without being too big to ship or stash in a gift basket. Pair it with honey or a self-care item from our shop for an easy, thoughtful set.
Yes. Our jelly jar candles are made with 100% American-grown soy wax, a phthalate-free fragrance oil, and a 100% cotton wick. Soy burns cleaner than paraffin — no soot ring on your ceiling, no petrochemicals released into the air. There are no dyes, no synthetic colors, and no phthalates. Every batch is hand-poured in our Owings Mills, Maryland facility and inspected before it ships. Safe to burn in kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, or any room you actually spend time in.
Burn it whenever you want. We call Place in the Sun a summer fragrance because the scent profile — citrus, tea, fizz, mint — leans bright and warm-weather. But honestly, plenty of customers light it in February when they need a reminder that the sun still exists. It's especially nice in a kitchen, a bathroom, or anywhere you want a little lift. Summer doesn't have to end if you don't want it to.
Reuse it. Once the wax is gone, wash the 6oz jelly jar with hot soapy water and put it back to work. It's the right size for sugar, tea bags, paper clips, hair ties, bobby pins, spare buttons, loose change, jewelry, or as a small votive holder for tea lights. Some customers use them as bud vases or tiny salt cellars on the kitchen counter. We're not big on single-use anything, and the jars are too solid to throw out.
