We know you're thinking of gifting your favorite Mountain Apothecary scent this year but before you make the purchase think of your recipient preferences!

Fragrance can be very personal and it is important to know some key facts before deciding on what to gift that special someone (if you don't already know what they love). Allow us to do the work for you!

• Vanilla took the lead in the scented candle market worldwide in 2022 at 11%
• Citrus followed at 10%
• Rose and lavender tied for third at 8%

You must be thinking "Great data, now what about in the United States?"

• Pumpkin was the top searched candle scent in the last 12 months
• Vanilla followed
• Lavender, lemon, and rose tied for third

Do you see a pattern here? Buying a candle for someone is easier than you think it is given the right facts! Of course, we could get super specific and look at top searches by state but in the spirit of simplicity let's work with the current trends.

The Candles

Vanilla

For a vanilla candle there is only one that you need, Sheer Orchid. This beautiful and classy scent will satisfy any vanilla lover. It's not too strong, it's not too subtle, it's not too plain, and it's not too complex. The sweet vanilla notes are veiled by soft and floral jasmine and tuberose while being grounded with sensuous sandalwood and amber.

 

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin

If you were excited to see pumpkin on the list then Gilded Pumpkin is what you're looking for! This scent focuses more on the sweet flesh of pumpkin rather than the heavy spices that fill other pumpkin candles. But don't get us wrong, there is still a sprinkle of spice in this delicious scent! Sliced pumpkin, juicy kumquat, and brown sugar blend beautifully with the various aromatic spices to create a candle that you may want to gift yourself!

 

 

 

 

Citrus

Citrus candles are everywhere so what makes French Pomander the best choice for your next gift? Our scent was created with zesty notes of orange, ripe grapefruit, and bergamot that blend with whole clove and green cypress to create a fresh scent that will brighten up your home!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rose

Are you tired of the typical intense powdery rose scent? Yeah, we were too. Black Rose is the alter ego of the classic red rose. Sultry notes of rose, juicy plum, and vanilla playfully dance with spicy peppercorn and earthy patchouli. This creamy rose candle will win the noses of any rose lover or hater.
