Pro tip: One candle is great. But mixing two or three? That’s how you own the summer scent game.
When summer’s in full swing, there’s no better way to set the vibe than with the glow of a flickering flame and the burst of a refreshing Tuscany Candle® fragrance. But here’s a little pro tip: don’t stop at just one. Burning multiple candles (or wax melts) at once lets you become a fragrance mixologist, layering scents into your own signature summertime candle blend. Whether you’re hosting a party, relaxing poolside, or just chasing that golden-hour energy, combining two or more of the best scented candles is a simple way to make every moment smell unforgettable.
Why Mix Scents?
Bespoke Aromas – Gone are single-note candles. Mixing creates a custom scent cocktail that evolves as you burn.
Mood Sculpting – For example, citrus tones energize; herbs balance; cozy woods mellow; you've got the ability to layer for atmosphere control.
Discovery & Play - Every burn is unique - you become the fragrance DJ, crafting a scent “playlist” that shifts during the day.
Tips for Blending Success
Size Matters: Pair similar jar sizes for balanced scent output.
Burn in Stages: Light the “anchor” scent (typically the earthiest or most herbal) first, then add brighter/fruitier ones.
Space It Out: Group candles on a tray or at opposite ends of a room to let individual notes shine, then merge in the middle.
Swap & Sample: Replace one candle or wax melt at a time to discover new favorites in the mix.
Here are three of our favorite Tuscany® candle pairings for unforgettable summer moments:

Mandarin Grove (bright citrus + basil)
Neroli & Wild Sage (soft floral + garden-fresh neroli + sage)
What you get: Starts with a burst of sunshine, featuring banana and tropical fruits, then smooths into a blend of whipped citrus herbs with a hint of floral greenery. Perfect for mornings or poolside lounging - refreshing, complex, and glowingly green.
2. Spa-Day Chill
Prairie Harmony (grapefruit + lily + rose)
Eucalyptus Mint (eucalyptus + mint)
Coral + Amber (palo santo + patchouli + exotic blooms + amber)

3. Playful Summer Treat
Sour Berry Bliss (blue raspberry + citrus + cotton candy + vanilla)
Orange Mojito (bergamot + yuzu + mint + orange blossom)
