Orange Amère | Mini geurkaars

Lit it last night and the whole room slowly filled with that sharp, almost tangy orange peel scent—not sweet at all, exactly what I hoped. The burn is even and clean, and I love that it's a mini size so I can move it from desk to nightstand without feeling wasteful.

The citrus kick hits right away when you light it, but the bitter note lingers nicely instead of turning into a generic air freshener. I lit it in my kitchen and the whole room smelled like a real orange grove for hours.

The bitter orange scent is exactly as described—bright and zesty without being cloying, and it fills a small room nicely within minutes of lighting. I bought it for my home office and the throw is surprisingly even for a mini size, lasting a good few hours of concentrated citrus freshness.
