Available in spearmint, cedar, tomato and jasmine, $44 for 6 at Carrière Frères.

Filling your car with your favorite scents

Posted by Robin on 18 September 2023 2 Comments

All you need to do is place the scented candle in your car's cup holder. The candle wax melts when exposed to heat — such as hot weather, or your car's heater in the winter — filling your car with your favorite scents. This works best if you have a candle that comes inside a glass jar because you don't want wax getting all over the cupholder. If you have a scented candle that doesn't come in a jar, just place it in a mason jar for the same effect.
