Paddywax Relish Lavender + Thyme, 9.5 oz
Crushed lavender, white thyme and eucalyptus in a ribbed jar that is a deliberate nod to a kitchen storage jar — which is exactly what it becomes once the wax is gone. At 9.5 oz it is the largest candle here for the money, with a stated burn of up to 60 hours from Paddywax's soy blend and a cotton wick, and the herbal-green scent lands closer to a herb bed after rain than to a spa. If you want one candle that reads cottagecore without smelling of perfume, this is the cheapest way to get there.
Let's buy this →Good to know: The jar is 2.75 in across, so it is a table or counter candle, not a whole-room one — it will not scent an open-plan kitchen on its own. Getting the wax out for reuse means an overnight stint in the freezer.
