There's something special about the first candle light of summer — the way a familiar scent can instantly transport you to a beach towel, a cabana, a golden hour glow. This year, we wanted to give you five different ways to capture that feeling.
Welcome to our Sun-Drenched Days Summer 2026 Collection: five limited-edition, non-toxic candles hand-poured in small batches right here in Geneva, IL. From juicy melon to mojito freshness, tropical escapes to nostalgic sweetness, and our brand-new Sunkissed for 2026 — this is summer, bottled cleanly.
Meet the Summer 2026 Collection
Five scents. Five summer moods. All available for a limited time — once they're gone, they're gone until next year.
🌊 Beach Day
Capture the carefree spirit of a perfect day by the shore with vibrant melon, citrus, and creamy coconut. This 13 oz candle blends honeydew melon, lime, agave, orange, and grapefruit at the top, with a heart of green florals, coconut, and cotton blossom. A warm base of powder, violet, musk, and wood lingers like your favorite summer memory.

🍉 Watermelon Sugar
Embrace your inner child with this sweet, nostalgic, and impossibly fresh fragrance. Indulge in the scent of freshly sliced watermelon and cotton candy — it brings back the best parts of summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will these be available?
A: These are limited seasonal pours. Once they sell out, they won't be back until Summer 2027. Watermelon Sugar is specifically labeled as a "Limited Summer 2026 batch" — when it's gone, it's gone.
Q: Are these candles really pet-safe?
A: Yes. Every candle in this collection is formulated without toxins known to be harmful to pets. However, always burn candles out of reach of curious noses and paws, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
Q: What's the burn time?
A: Our summer collection burns for 70-80 hours. All provide long-lasting luxury.
Q: Can I find these in your Geneva store?
A: Yes! Our Geneva shop offers pickup availability (usually ready in 2 hours). You can also order online for fast shipping. Free shipping on orders $50+.
Q: What makes the Sunkissed candle different from Beach Day?
A: Great question! Beach Day is fruity and creamy (melon, citrus, coconut cream) — think carefree shore day. Sunkissed is brighter and more sophisticated (neroli, orange blossom, sea salt, vanilla, cedarwood) — think golden hour glow and sun-warmed skin. Both are summer, but very different moods.
The Bottom Line
Summer is fleeting. That's what makes it beautiful — and that's why we create limited batches of these seasonal scents. We pour them by hand in small quantities, using the cleanest ingredients we can find, so when you light one, you're not just getting a fragrance. You're getting a moment.
A Beach Day memory. A Havana evening. A Watermelon Sugar childhood flashback. A Cancun Cabana escape. A Sunkissed golden hour.
Don't let this summer slip away without the scent to match.
