Italia

The clove and cardamom hit you right away, but the vanilla softens it into something almost cozy. I lit it in my hallway and the whole apartment smelled warm for hours without getting too sweet.

I’ve been burning this whenever I want the apartment to feel instantly cozier, and the cardamom really comes through warm without being sharp. The orange blossom softens the clove just enough that it’s comforting, not overwhelming, and the scent lingers nicely for hours.

I lit this in my living room on a rainy evening and the cardamom and orange blossom pairing made the whole space feel warm without being cloying. The vanilla comes through gently, not sugary, which is exactly what I was hoping for.
