Inspired by nature. Hand-poured with love.
There are certain scents that seem to pull us right back into a memory — barefoot in the dirt, sun on your shoulders, hands brushing through thick green leaves in the garden. For me, that scent is tomato leaf.

It’s green, earthy, and unmistakably alive — like the moment you reach down to pick a ripe tomato, and your fingers catch that wild, herbal snap of the vine. It’s a scent that feels like home.
I’ve been growing tomatoes for as long as I can remember. As a child, I’d help tend the plants in our backyard garden — watching them grow from tiny seedlings to heavy vines bursting with fruit. That love for gardening never left me. Even now, I always keep a patch of tomato plants outside our home. It’s one of my favorite summer rituals — watering them in the morning light, checking for new blossoms, and breathing in that fresh green scent that only tomato vines have.
Our Tomato Leaf candle is my ode to those slow summer days. The days spent with dirt under your nails and a bowl of freshly picked tomatoes on the kitchen table. It's a reminder to breathe deep, slow down, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature — even when you’re indoors.
