Fresco: A Candle That Captures Summer’s Garden in a Flame
There’s something undeniably magical about the scent of summer—when the air is warm, gardens are lush, and herbs release their vibrant aromas under the sun. With ‘Fresco’, a candle crafted to embody that fleeting yet intoxicating moment, you can bring that garden-fresh feeling indoors—no green thumb required.
What Is ‘Fresco’?
Fresco is a unique blend of botanical brilliance: notes of fresh tomato leaves, olive leaves, citron, and basil combine to create an aromatic profile that’s green, citrusy, and deeply grounding. It’s the olfactory equivalent of walking barefoot through a Mediterranean garden in late June, where the breeze carries the fragrance of ripening vines and sun-warmed herbs.

The Scent Breakdown
Fresh Tomato Leaves
Tomato leaf is one of the most distinctive green notes in fragrance. Its scent is earthy and tangy, evoking memories of brushing past tomato plants in the garden. It’s invigorating and unexpected—a reminder of authenticity and simplicity. The smell of tomato leaf has even been associated with lowering stress and increasing alertness, thanks to its green, peppery sharpness.
Olive Leaves
Soft and slightly woody, olive leaf offers a calming and grounding note that balances the sharper greens in Fresco. Used in aromatherapy for its soothing qualities, it adds a touch of sun-soaked tranquility, like the quiet shade beneath an olive tree.
Citron
This bright citrus note adds sparkle to the blend. Citron is zesty and clean—an instant mood-lifter that cuts through heavy air and refreshes the senses. It’s also been linked to boosting energy and concentration, making Fresco a perfect candle for both slow mornings and late afternoon resets.
Basil
Aromatic and slightly spicy, basil is both energizing and clarifying. It’s a classic herb of summer, often grown in windowsill pots or garden borders. Its essential oils have been shown to reduce anxiety and promote mental clarity—making it not just a scent, but a subtle form of self-care.
Bringing the Garden Indoors
Fresco doesn’t just smell good—it evokes a feeling. Lighting it is like opening your kitchen window to let in the scents of your garden after a warm rain. Whether you’re living in a city apartment or a country cottage, Fresco creates the illusion of a thriving summer garden in bloom. It’s ideal for kitchens, studios, and sunlit reading nooks—any space that could use a breath of green, herbaceous air.
