There’s nothing romantic about swatting at mosquitoes between sips. This summer, we’re crafting a citronella candle that does more than repel — it sets the mood.

Soft flickers. Subtle scent. A vessel you actually want on your table. It’s function wrapped in feeling — and a quiet kind of luxury your outdoor rituals deserve.

Customize the fragrance, the shape, the glow. Make it yours.
Because even bug protection should feel beautiful.

Ready to create something that lingers? Let’s begin.

✂️ What You’ll Need:

• Glass jars or vintage-inspired vessels
• A mix of fresh herbs (think rosemary, mint, lavender, basil, lemon balm)
• Sliced citrus — lemon, lime, orange, or a mix
• Citronella essential oil
• Floating candles
• Filtered or fresh water

Tip: Citronella works beautifully alongside other fragrant herbs. Lavender, mint, and rosemary are not only pretty — they’re powerful little bug repellents, too.

🕯️ How to Assemble:

1. Layer herbs and citrus slices inside your jar — get creative with the color and texture.
2. Fill with water, leaving a bit of space at the top.
3. Add a few drops of citronella oil (around 5–10, depending on jar size).
4. Gently place a floating candle on top.
5. Light it up, set it out, and let the vibe (and scent) do the rest.

Set the scene, pour the wine, and let the soft scent do its thing. Beauty and function, burning in harmony. 🕯️
