maker inspiration: uplifting lemon candles and soap Brighten up your collection with lemon-inspired candles, soap, and body care products.

If your collection could use a little energizing, let lemon inspire you. Citrus-scented products are like a burst of sunshine for the senses—and lemon is a surprisingly versatile scent! 

Scroll through our ideas to learn how to bring up the mood with lemon-themed candles, bath and body products, and more. 

While lemon is lovely as a single-note scent, we might enjoy it even more as part of a sophisticated accord. This first collection is a refined interpretation of lemon fragrances that would be right at home in luxury lines or spa-themed collections. 

Opt for complex yet balanced fragrances, like White Tea or Day at the Spa, to elevate a recognizable scent like lemon. For naturally-scented upscale candles, try Litsea Cubeba essential oil.  

Iridescent yellow containers and vintage-inspired white glass lids underscore the "lemon, but better" vibe of this collection.

Sometimes we want our bath and body products to help us wind down and relax; at other times, we want a refreshing and invigorating experience. When the latter is the vibe, lemon-scented body care is the spa-like way to wake you up and leave you feeling refreshed. 

Our bath and body collection features three ways to pamper yourself with aromatic lemon:
