شمعة سامباكويتا

The cold throw alone is enough to make me smile, but once it melts, that lychee and bergamot blend turns my whole living room into a summer evening. The sampaquita note is heady without being too sweet, and it burns evenly all the way down.

I lit it for the first time yesterday and my whole apartment smelled like a tropical garden within ten minutes — that bergamot and lychee combo is so bright it's almost juicy. The throw is strong but not cloying, which is exactly what I hoped for from a jasmine-adjacent flower scent.

The sampaquita flower note is what sold me—it’s heady and creamy, like jasmine but richer, and it lingers in the room for hours after I blow it out. Burns evenly too, which is rare for a candle this size.
