We love these best herbal scented candles as they give us a chance to rewind and relax. From earthy notes to more green, fresh notes, there is a great variety in this category of fragrances. The more realistic, the better. These candles will make you wonder…is it real?

1

Carriere Freres

Tomato

Its vegetable flavour, both tangy and sweet, evokes indulgence. Its green note places it in the heart of a field and suggests the smell of the tomato leaves. Photo credit: Carriere Freres

The Tomato candle from Carriere Freres is one of our favorite candles on the planet. Yeah, it’s that good. It smells like a ripe tomato, freshly picked off the vine. The green notes are the kicker. This fragrance is a bit more subtle than some of the others on this list, but it is simply amazing.

Diptyque

La Droguerie

Like opening a window onto a fresh, colorful vegetable garden – when cooking odors linger, this candle weaves its magic. Once lit, it replaces smells with a bouquet of basil, mint and tomato leaves. Photo credit: Diptyque

The king (or queen?) of candles, Diptyque, cannot be overlooked for its realistic herbal option, la Droguerie. The basil notes abound here and there is also the scent of fresh tomato vine. The best part is this is an odor eliminator, too!

Village Candle

Italian Herb

Top: Grapefruit Zest, Green Lotus; Mid: Dewy Tarragon, Italian Parsley; Base: Crushed Thyme, Garden Basil. Photo credit: Village Candle

A truly savory option is the realistic Italian Herb Garden candle from Village Candles. Oh so good! The citrus grapefruit notes keep this one from being too heavy by giving it a bit of brightness. The notes of basil and thyme are prominent here.

Flamingo Estate

Climbing Tuscan Rosemary

Rosemary is the objet d’amour of Romans, Greeks, and Honeybees everywhere. Kindling warm layers of evergreen and camphor, often detected wafting amongst the Cypress Trees and ruins of golden hour strolls. Photo credit: Flamingo Estate

For a more potent herbal scented candle, try Climbing Tuscan Rosemary from Flamingo Estate. We love the heavy herbal notes and the scent is quite powerful. An amazing blend with lots of green notes, too.
