This candle smells like sitting in a fresh vegetable garden with your hands in the dirt. Plus, the jar is adorable.
Better Homes & Gardens 1-Wick Ceramic Fruit Candle, Tomato and Thyme, 6 oz
Another tomato candle (must be a new trend), but I felt like this one was sweeter and more subtle than the candle in the tomato-shaped jar.
Mainstays 3-Wick Farmstand Tomato Fragrance Candle, 13-Ounce
I actually haven't smelled these, but I know I like Black Opium and Lost Cherry, so I'm excited to buy them with my first paycheck (and I will update here)! I'm also curious if the wax melt version of Missing Person smells as nice as the perfume.
ScentMatch Wax Melts Discovery Sample Pack 3
I've been so homesick for tropical fruits since I left South Africa, so I was excited to see Febreze has a new scent. It smells like a fruity cocktail. Perfect for summer!
Febreze Air Mist Air Freshener Spray, Passion Fruit Breeze
You don't often find fruit scents in laundry products. I like how it comes in a trial size so if I were to try it out (past sniffing in the aisle), I wouldn't have to commit to a big bottle.
Gain Laundry Scent Beads, Tango 2-in-1 In-Wash Scent Booster, Dual Strawberry & Shea Scent
It's rare that “calming” aromatherapy doesn't include lavender. (And I'm an anxious person who's not a fan of lavender.) This light, tropical scent comes in so many forms: Wax melts, reed diffusers, and candles of various sizes.
Allswell Calm (Coconut + Citrus + Amber) Scented 1-Wick Ceramic Jar Spa Candle
Stepping away from my usual fruity choices, this wax melt brings memories of a summer bonfire.
Canyon Winds Scented Wax Melts, Better Homes & Gardens
I recently posted on my personal social media, “Nowhere I've lived smells better than Minnesota in lilac season,” and this wax melt is the most accurate lilac scent I've found so far.
French Lilac Flowers Scented Wax Melts, Better Homes & Gardens
I know this isn't a scent, but since I posted wax melts I like, I had to include this cute warmer that reminds me of Marie from Aristocats.
Mainstays Full Size Pink Bow Fragrance Wax Melt Warmer, Ceramic
Body
Definitely my next body wash, and something out of my usual “fruity” routine. It's a unisex peppermint scent that reminds me so much of someone I miss.
OLLY Body Wash Infused with Arnica & Vitamin B12
I feel like a lot of strawberry scents are too sweet like artificially-flavored candy, but this body wash smells like the juice of a real strawberry.
Dove Limited Edition Body Wash for Women Strawberry Kiwi
This was the first body mist I bought to restart my perfume collection. If you like Heavy Cream by Phlur or Yum Boujee Marshmallow by Kayali, this one is worth a try.
VQ Hair & Body Mist, Creamy Marshmallow
For fans of Sol de Janeiro's Cheirosa 71, if you like their fresh-baked pastry sweetness with a lower price point.
Holler Vanilla Pie Body and Hair Fragrance Mist, 2.7 fl oz
I smell this so often in the store, I really should have bought one by now! One of my favorite Tree Hut scents. I think I'll always love gummies no matter how old I get.
Tree Hut Jelly Bear Exfoliating Shea Sugar Body Scrub
The scent of this scrub reminds me of Bath and Body Works' Cucumber Melon body wash. I normally don't like honeydew, but the cucumber made it so much more appealing.
Tree Hut Honeydew Hype Shea Sugar Body Scrub
