ハニーデュー クラッシュ ブルー プチキャンドル

The honeydew note is front and center, with just enough grapefruit to keep it from being too sugary. Lit it in my home office and the whole room smells like a fresh fruit salad without being overpowering.

For a candle this small, the scent throw is surprisingly strong — the honeydew and grapefruit blend filled my whole bathroom within minutes. Violet leaves add just enough floral depth to keep it from being purely sweet, and it burns nice and even. Already ordered a backup.

Lit it during a rainy afternoon and the grapefruit note cut right through the gloom—bright and zesty without being sharp. The violet leaves give it a soft, almost powdery finish that lingers for a good while after you blow it out. Tiny thing, but it punches way above its size.
