Are Tomato Candles the Next Big Trend?
You heard it here first — tomato candles are the ultimate scent of this summer. No matter whether you want your surrounding to smell like a Bloody Mary, tomato-scented candles don’t really smell like the actual raw fruit. Green tomatoes, in particular, have a truly refreshing quality that one wants on a sweltering hot day. Instead of offering a winter-cold, cozy repose, tomato-scented candles offer a fresh breath of air. If you’re with us and tired of sweet, musky, and orange-scented everything, explore our compilation of four candles that will decorate both your space and air.
