One thing about us: we always have a candle burning in our house. Whether we’re working in our office during the day or hosting friends at night, having a signature scent in our home — no matter the season — is non-negotiable. 

While we have our signature scents we love in the fall, we are super particular about our summer scents. We can’t stand anything too floral, which always seemed to be the sticking point with summer candles. It seemed like every candle we tried had a super strong floral fragrance. This year we were determined to find several scents we would fall in love with. Hence, sparking the search for something unexpected.

That’s when we found Apotheke summer candle collection.

Their Tomato Tarragon and Holy Basil Rosewater candles were the epitome of summer— fresh, clean, and nostalgic. AKA: the absolute perfect scent combination.

If you’re looking for a summer candle, we guarantee Apotheke will have just the right thing you’re looking for! Keep scrolling to shop our favorite scents from Apotheke’s summer collection. 

Who is Apotheke?

Apotheke began in founder Chrissy Fichte’s kitchen in Brooklyn, New York. She began formulating home scents and soaps and quickly grew the brand into the notable luxury candle business it is today.

The company prides itself on creating candles that “transform a house into a home, elevate every mood, and help keep memories alive.” Made with natural fragrances and sustainable resources, these high-quality candles are the perfect addition to a living room coffee table, kitchen counter, or bedside table.

Why We Love Them

1. Unique Candle Scents

We aren’t exaggerating when we say that Apotheke has become our favorite candle brand. The scent profiles are not overpowering (like many other brands can be), and they craft the most unique scent combinations that are unlike anything we’ve smelled.

Some of our favorites that we have throughout our home:

• Tomato Tarragon: Smells like a fresh tomato garden with a crisp clean water scent, paired with a slight hint of herbs.

• Holy Basil and Rosewater: The combination of basil and rosewater makes for a sweet, clean-scented summer candle. 

• Earl Grey Bitters: We loved burning this one at the end of summer into early fall. It is a clean scent but also has a musky, warmth to it.

2. Gorgeous Packaging

The vessels the candles come in are so gorgeous. We love the classic opaque jar that a majority of the candles come in because you can see a warm, blurred glow as the candle burns. It makes for an intimate and cozy vibe in any space in your home.

3. They Gave Us a Discount Code to Share with You!
