Summer Splendor
Gather 'Round, We're Gossiping
"I designed Summer Splendor to smell like a gloriously long lunch outside. Think Castelvetrano olives (aka the best olives) on the table, wine glasses full, and conversation that lingers for hours. This is summer in a candle."
- Ingrid Nilsen, Co-founder
What People Are Saying
The Perfect Summer Candle
It is the PERFECT scent for summer, and I've never smelled anything like it. Fresh, briny, salty, vibrant. Truly smells like dining al fresco with friends.
A candle to rule all candles
I've repurchased this candle 3 times in 18 months. If you like fresh, herbaceous scents and white wines with a mineral finish — this is your candle. Ingrid, I beg of you, make this into a perfume.
Best candle scent ever!
Whenever this candle is in stock I always purchase at least a few. I wish this was part of the permanent collection — such a great, unique scent for the kitchen.
Truly summer in a candle
The standout note for me is the crisp Sauvignon Blanc — fresh, vibrant, sophisticated. The perfect candle to capture a carefree summer day. An absolute seasonal must-have.
My all-time favorite summer candle
I'm obsessed with this candle. It reminds me of everything I love about summer — fresh, not overwhelming, the kind of scent that just makes the room feel right.
The best.
I bought this candle last summer for the first time, and I've been in love ever since. I burn it all year round. It is the absolute best.
