There’s nothing like a candle to create a cozy atmosphere at home. In addition to classics like lavender and pine, food-scented candles like sugar cookie and apple pie have long been staples used to make any room feel warm and inviting. These days, however, many candle companies and independent creators have gone off the beaten path and come out with some truly unique, yet delightful scents. If you’re in the market for some new candles, here are a few sure to get your mouth watering.
Pasta Water
You read that right – this candle by New York City-based candle makers DS & Durga was designed to mimic the scent of the water leftover from cooking pasta. Notes of semolina wheat and saline water come together to create an aroma that the creators have described as “quiet and ambient.” One whiff, and we have to say we agree.
Cereal
This candle by sustainable candle brand Mala brings all of the nostalgia of childhood mornings spent watching cartoons. It includes delicious notes of citrus, berry, and lemon, reminiscent of breakfast favorites like Fruit Loops, and Fruity Pebbles. It’s the perfect way to add a playful touch to your space.
Matcha Milk
While we weren’t sure what to think about the idea of this candle by MOCOcandles at first, we were pleasantly surprised once we actually smelled it. Subtle notes of green tea add a fresh, earthy quality to sweet vanilla, creating a lovely balance that brightens up your space and invigorates your senses.
