Sun-Kissed Scents: Summer Candle-Making Experiences That Transport You

A Fragrant Summer Escape

There’s something undeniably magical about summer. The days stretch longer, the sunsets glow warmer, and time seems to soften—inviting us to slow down and savor. At Malibu Apothecary, we believe summer should smell as good as it feels. Imagine warm peachy breezes, creamy coconut skin, and citrus-flecked cocktails carried by the ocean wind. Now imagine bottling that magic—literally.

Whether you're visiting Malibu or Dallas, or simply in the mood to elevate your staycation, our candle and perfumery workshops offer more than just a scent—they offer a summer memory in the making.

Why Summer Is the Season of Scent

Scent and memory are intrinsically linked. The fragrance of red currant and jasmine might recall a Bahamian sunset; hints of vanilla and sea salt can transport you back to a beach house in Laguna. Our coconut and soy wax candles, made with clean, phthalate-free fragrance, don’t just burn—they bloom. They tell a story of place, of passion, of paradise.

Seasonal favorites to try:

• ABACO – red currant, lemon, geranium, peach

• CAYMAN – lemon, mint, eucalyptus, sea salt

• LAGUNA – vanilla, coconut, sugar-rimmed lime

Not able to travel this season? Let your space take the trip for you. Lighting a clean-burning, luxury candle can be a powerful form of self-care and escapism. It’s not just ambiance—it’s a ritual.
