Scent Appeal
The scent of this candle is described as reminiscent of “your cheeks getting warm and rosy from sipping rosé at a beachside bonfire with your crush.” And, that pretty much sums up why it makes for a perfect gift, but it gets bonus points because it’s handcrafted (in L.A.), and the vessel is reusable and so chic.
