Slice of Life Candle

Notes: Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Tomato Leaf, Anise, Mint

You know that feeling when you tear off a handful of fresh mint and press it into the bottom of a glass, that cold green smell jumping straight up, so sharp your mouth goes cool before you've had a single sip? That's where this one grabs you.

And it holds you right there, all of it at once. Crushed mint and spearmint tangled together, a clean eucalyptus lift that opens your whole nose, a green just-snapped-stem bite running underneath like brushing past tomato vines in the sun, a low sweet thread of licorice softening the edges. The cold spreads across your tongue and up the back of your throat, bright and prickling, the kind of fresh that has you pulling in another breath just to feel it again.

It's a mojito on the hottest afternoon of the year. One of those days where the air sits heavy and you've given up on doing anything, so you crush the mint yourself, pack the glass full of ice, and that first cold sip lands and everything in you goes loose. Green and freezing and just sweet enough, the glass already sweating through onto the table. It smells the way that first sip feels when you've been out in the heat too long.
