Gourmand Soy Candle Set

Sweet, Not Sorry

The set that smells like Saturday morning. Not the aspirational wellness magazine version where everyone wakes up at 5 AM to journal. The real one—coffee still brewing, honey dripping off a spoon onto the counter, something citrus getting zested for pancakes.

These three candles were made in Owings Mills after people kept asking for the food scents. Not generic "vanilla" that smells like a car air freshener. Actual espresso. Actual honey with a floral edge. Actual tangerine mixed with cream.

The kind of candles that make your house smell like you've been baking when you definitely have not been baking. People walk in and ask what's in the oven. Nothing. It's just wax and a wick doing their job.

Featured in Hello Beautiful magazine, though we'd make these even if no one was watching. Ninety hours of burn time across three candles means you're not replacing them every week. Small batches, American-grown soy wax, no phthalates. Made by hand because machines don't check if the scent balance is right.

When You Light These

• Start with Double Espresso on weekday mornings. Burn it while you're making actual coffee or pretending you have time for breakfast. The scent layers with whatever's already happening in the kitchen.
• Nectar + Honey works for afternoon—that window between lunch and dinner when the house feels too quiet. Light it while you're folding laundry or answering emails. The floral edge keeps it from being too heavy.
• Vanilla + Citrus is for evenings when you want the house to smell warm but not sleepy. Good for when people are coming over and you haven't had time to bake anything. Burns clean, no smoke.

Trim wicks to ¼ inch before each burn. Let the wax pool to the edges on the first light—prevents tunneling. Burn for 2-4 hours at a time, not more.

What's Inside the Set?

• Double Espresso Soy Candle (6oz): Espresso, honey, sweet cream. Smells like the coffee shop at 7 AM when they're pulling the first shots.
• Nectar + Honey Soy Candle (6oz): Honey, locust blossom, peach. Golden and floral, the way honey smells when you open a fresh jar.
• Vanilla + Citrus Soy Candle (6oz): Vanilla, tangerine. Like someone's making creamsicles from scratch in your kitchen.

Why Choose the Gourmand Candle Set?

• Actually Food-Scented: Not artificial candy smell or generic sweetness. These hit the specific notes—espresso's bitterness, honey's warmth, citrus's brightness.
• Ninety Hours Total: Three candles, thirty hours each. You're not buying these every other week.
• Small Batch, Owings Mills: Hand-poured in Maryland. We check every pour, smell every batch before it ships.
• No Phthalates: Clean burn. American-grown soy wax. The stuff we'd burn in our own houses.
• People Keep Them Lit: These don't sit on shelves as decoration. They get used until the wax is gone and someone orders more.
