This is peak tomato season, immortalized.
Smells like summer in the garden—feral, fresh, and barefoot.
This candle is not about subtlety. No. 17 Peak Tomato is bold, juicy, and wildly alive—an homage to high summer when the garden is overflowing and the dog keeps sneaking into the tomato patch.
It opens with a burst of green tomato leaf, crisp cucumber, and lemon peel—sharp, tart, and almost drinkable. Think garden party, but with dirty knees and a hand-rolled cigarette tucked behind your ear. Basil softens the edges, bringing in that sun-warmed herbal calm. Then the scent deepens: dry garden soil, oakmoss, patchouli, and a quiet hint of vetiver, grounding everything in a rich, earthy base.
Green, yes—but crisp and juicy, like cutting into something that was picked an hour ago. You’re barefoot in a garden with no cell signal and no shoes and no need to perform for anyone. And somewhere just out of view: a dog nose-deep in tomato plants, tail wagging, dirt on his paws. Because no one’s ever actually alone in a garden. Time is irrelevant, yet these moments imprint of you and your kindred best friend.
It’s that perfect high-summer feeling.
Where / When to Burn It:
– During late summer brunches with open windows and no dress code
– While writing, daydreaming, or pretending your apartment is a converted farmhouse
– Anytime you’re craving chaos—but make it chic
– When the music’s soft, your knees are dirty, and your lemonade has a little vodka in it
Scent Family: Green / Aromatic with Earthy undertones
-
Primary family:
Green – because of the dominant notes of tomato leaf, cucumber, and green leaves. It’s fresh, sharp, vegetal, and very much alive.
-
Secondary influences:
Aromatic – from the basil and lemon peel, which bring a fresh herbal-citrus brightness.
Earthy/Woody – thanks to the patchouli, moss, and dry earth notes in the base, which give it grounding and longevity.
For reference it falls into the neighborhood of scents like Hermès Un Jardin sur le Nil or Loewe’s Tomato Leaves—sophisticated, garden-driven fragrances that feel clean, tactile, and slightly wild.
