Sunroom, Patio, or Backyard: The Candles That Belong in Your Summer Afternoons

The Kind of Afternoon You Don’t Rush

It’s the middle of the day.

The sun is high.
The windows are open.
Light is pouring into every corner of your space.

Maybe you’re in the kitchen.
Maybe you’ve drifted into the sunroom.
Maybe you’re half inside, half out on the patio.

There’s no schedule.
No urgency.
Just that easy, summer feeling.

And the way your space smells during it?
It quietly sets the tone for everything.


Midday Has Its Own Energy

Afternoons aren’t soft or subtle.

They’re bright.
Warm.
Full of movement.

The wrong candle can feel too heavy… or disappear completely.

The right one?
It lifts the space.
Moves with the air.
Makes everything feel just a little more alive.


🚫 Seriously F*ck Off: Because You’re Not Sharing Your Space with Bugs

If the doors are open, this candle is non-negotiable.

Seriously F*ck Off is made for patios, backyards, and sunroom setups where indoor meets outdoor, and bugs try to sneak in.

✨ Scent Profile

A fresh, functional blend that works hard without killing the vibe:

  • Lemongrass – Bright, citrusy, naturally repels mosquitoes

  • Peppermint – Crisp and cooling, helps deter ants and spiders

  • Citronella – A summer staple for keeping bugs away

  • Cedarwood – Grounding, woodsy, and effective against flying pests

  • Lavender – Calming for you, annoying for gnats

  • Black Pepper – Warm, bold, and surprisingly powerful at repelling insects

It smells clean, slightly herbal, and lets you actually enjoy being outside… without constantly swatting at the air.


🍊 Patio Lanterns: Bright, Crisp, Open-Air Energy

This is your peak-afternoon candle.

Patio Lanterns is fresh, vibrant, and full of movement, the kind of scent that instantly wakes up a space and makes everything feel lighter.

✨ Scent Profile

A crisp, invigorating blend with a cooling edge:

  • Top: Grapefruit, bright citrus

  • Heart: Fresh mint

  • Base: Soft herbal notes

The grapefruit and citrus hit first, juicy, zesty, and full of energy, while mint follows with a clean, cooling lift that cuts through warm air beautifully. A subtle herbal finish rounds it out, giving the scent a natural, slightly grounded feel that keeps it from being too sharp.

It’s refreshing.
It’s energizing.
It feels like a breeze moving through your space.


🥥 Canadian Coconuts: Bright, Creamy, Tropical Ease

This is your laid-back, sun-soaked afternoon candle.

Canadian Coconuts brings that effortless tropical feel, the kind that makes it seem like you’ve slowed down, even if you haven’t.

✨ Scent Profile

A smooth, sunlit blend with a fresh, juicy twist:

  • Top: Pineapple

  • Heart: Coconut

  • Base: Vanilla

The pineapple opens bright and juicy, instantly lifting the space with a fresh, slightly sweet energy. Coconut follows with that creamy, familiar warmth, while vanilla softens everything into a smooth, easy finish that lingers without ever feeling heavy.

It’s light.
It’s playful.
It feels like summer without trying too hard.


Choosing Your Afternoon Vibe

Every space has its own rhythm.

Or layer them… and let your space evolve as the day goes on.


The Real Summer Setup

Nothing complicated.

Just:

  • A cold drink sweating on the table

  • Windows and doors wide open

  • Music playing somewhere in the background

  • A candle flickering quietly

That’s it.

  • Phthalate-free

Let the Afternoon Stretch

The best summer days don’t feel rushed.

They move slowly.
They blend into each other.
They feel easy.

And somehow, it’s the small details. The scent, the light, the air, that make them unforgettable.
