Glass Mushroom Citronella & Tuberose Candle

The Glass Mushroom Citronella & Tuberose Candle does two jobs that usually require two products. The mushroom-shaped glass vessel in red and orange works as decor on a patio table or a shelf, and the citronella in the fragrance means it earns its place outdoors on a summer evening.

Tuberose is the reason it does not smell like a hardware store bucket candle. Pairing a floral note with citronella gives it a scent worth having near where you are eating, which is where most citronella products fall down.

At 6.5 inches tall it has enough presence to anchor a patio table on its own, and the colored glass holds the shape once the candle has burned down. On a Minnesota deck in July that is the difference between sitting outside after dinner and going in. Care: keep the wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times, and trim it every 4 hours of burn time by extinguishing the flame and letting it cool first.
