Recife – Cucumber & Watermelon

Picture yourself walking along Boa Viagem at low tide. The reef has held back the ocean and turned it into still, glassy pools that catch the morning light. The Recife candle bottles that feeling. It pairs cool cucumber with juicy watermelon, then lifts the blend with spearmint and a twist of orange peel for a fresh, fruity spritz that smells like summer in Pernambuco.

Recife is the city the reef built. The water cuts through it in canals, the old town of Recife Antigo hums with frevo and carnival, and the beaches stretch all the way to Olinda. We chose this scent to match that easy, breezy energy. It is bright without being sweet, and it leaves a clean, watery finish that works in any room.

Each candle is hand-poured in Sydney using 100% natural soy wax, a lead-free cotton wick and high-quality fragrance oils. It burns cleanly and lasts longer than paraffin. The amber glass jar gives off a soft glow while it burns and is built to be reused once you are finished.

Choose the Classic size (210 g) for bedrooms, bathrooms and small living areas. Choose the Trio (380 g) for kitchens, open-plan rooms and longer evenings. Either way, you get the same fresh Recife feeling, poured by hand and packed in recyclable, planet-friendly materials.
