There is something magical about stepping into the garden on a warm summer morning. The sun is just beginning to warm the leaves, the soil still holds traces of last night's dew, and the scent of tomato vines hangs in the air. It's green, earthy, fresh, and unmistakably alive.

Our Heirloom Tomato Candle captures that fleeting moment and brings it indoors. Inspired by thriving summer gardens, this luxury olive oil wax candle blends the aroma of tomato leaf, green vine, and rich earth into a fragrance that feels like a walk through rows of heirloom tomatoes at the height of the growing season.

Hand-poured in small batches and housed in our signature recycled green glass vessel, this candle was created for gardeners, plant lovers, and anyone who finds joy in growing things.

What Does a Tomato Candle Smell Like?

One of the most common questions we hear is: "Does it smell like actual tomatoes?"

Not exactly.

The scent of a tomato candle comes from the leaves, vines, stems, and surrounding garden soil rather than the fruit itself. If you've ever brushed against a tomato plant while harvesting, you'll recognize the aroma immediately.

Expect notes of:

Fresh tomato leaf
Green garden vines
Earthy soil
Sun-warmed herbs
A touch of natural sweetness

The result is a clean, botanical fragrance that feels fresh and sophisticated rather than sweet or fruity.

Why Are Tomato Candles So Popular?

Garden-inspired fragrances have become one of the most sought-after trends in luxury home fragrance. Read my blog post: What Does Heirloom Tomato Smell Like? Why This Unexpected Fragrance Trend Is Taking Over

As more people move away from overly sweet bakery scents, they're discovering the beauty of green fragrances inspired by nature. Tomato leaf fragrances have gained a devoted following because they feel authentic, unexpected, and deeply connected to the outdoors.

A tomato candle brings the feeling of a thriving garden into your home long after the growing season ends.

It's fresh.
It's nostalgic.
And for many gardeners, it's instantly recognizable.

Inspired by the Garden

The Garden Collection was born from a love of growing things.

Anyone who has spent time in the garden knows that some of the most memorable scents aren't flowers at all. They're the scents released when you brush past a tomato plant, harvest fresh thyme, lemongrass, or turn over rich soil in the spring.

The Heirloom Tomato Candle was created to capture those moments, along with our Lemongrass Candle, Thyme Candle, Strawberry Candle, Honey Candle and Peaches Candle.

Rather than recreating a flower bouquet or a sugary fruit scent, this candle celebrates the beauty of the garden itself.

Care Instructions

TIP 1: TRIM YOUR WICK

Between burns, trim your wick to ¼ inch before relighting. The shorter height allows the wax to feed the flame properly. Using a wick trimmer, nail clippers or scissors, snip off the black curled part of the wick when trimming.

TIP 2: REACH A FULL MELT POOL ON THE FIRST BURN

When burning your candle for the first time, burn it for long enough that you achieve a full melt pool. This means that the melted wax reaches the edge of the vessel. This helps to avoid tunnelling and ensures an even burn each time.

TIP 3: THINK SAFETY

Safety first, especially when it's an open flame. Do not leave your candle burning unattended, and keep away from pets, children, flowers, drapes, or anything that may catch fire. Burn your candle on an even, heat proof surface. Our vessels are tested thoroughly, however prolonged burning may cause the vessel to heat. Place your candle away from strong drafts - this will help to achieve an even burn too. Once your candle burns down & you have ¼ inch wax left, it's time to wash it out and find a new purpose for your vessel. Put the lid back on between burns, to avoid any dust, debris or bugs from falling into the wax.

TIP 4: BURN FOR MAX 4 HOURS AT A TIME
This prevents the vessel from getting too hot and it means your candle lasts longer too.
