Brunch season is here, and WoodWick Seaside Mimosa is the candle I would put next to the pitcher. It is a mix of citrus and grape champagne notes that smells like the drink without any of the hangover.
Brunch season is in full effect and nothing says Sunday brunch better than a mimosa, am I right? WoodWick’s Seaside Mimosa is a great candle to pair with your mid-morning bubbly. This candle is a blend of citrus and grape champagne notes.
The fruit notes mixed with sweet champagne create a candied aroma that’s fragrant, but not overpowering. I would be on Cloud 9 if I could find a drink that tastes as good as Seaside Mimosa smells.
I mean seriously though, wouldn’t we all love to have a mimosa by the seaside? I know I would!
Aside from the delicious fragrance, if you’re like me and you love fun colored candles, you’re going to obsess over this one. The wax is a stunning tangerine orange. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when looking at this beauty.
While you’re enjoying the sight of this candle, don’t forget about the best feature of WoodWick, the wooden wick! The crackle is so soothing, perfect for a relaxing weekend brunch.
WoodWick’s candles are long lasting and-the best part-affordable! They burn for 75-110 hours for 25 bucks! That means more money to spend on champagne! WoodWick candles are seriously #homefragrancegoals.

What WoodWick Seaside Mimosa smells like
The scent is a blend of citrus and grape champagne notes. Mixed with the sweet champagne, the fruit gives a candied aroma that is fragrant but not overpowering. That is the part I like best: it fills a room without competing with the food on the table.
If you want to know more about the cocktail that inspired it, the Mimosa page on Wikipedia explains how orange juice and sparkling wine come together.
The wooden wick and the tangerine wax
The color is a big part of the appeal. The wax is a bright tangerine orange, and it is hard to be in a bad mood when you look at it. If you love fun colored candles, this is one to put on display, even before you light it.
Then there is the wooden wick, which is the best feature of WoodWick. As the flame burns it crackles, and I find the sound soothing. It is perfect for a relaxed weekend brunch, when you want a little background atmosphere. If you want to understand what a wick actually does, the Wick article on Wikipedia covers the basics.
Wooden wicks are happiest when they are kept short and the wax is melted evenly, so give the first burn some time and trim any charred bits before relighting.
Is WoodWick Seaside Mimosa worth the price?
WoodWick candles are long lasting and affordable, burning for 75 to 110 hours for about $25. That is roughly 23 to 33 cents an hour, which leaves more money for champagne.
If you enjoy sparkling wine scents, there is a lot more to explore. I wrote about Votivo Pink Mimosa, and my roundup of champagne candles covers other bubbly options to compare with WoodWick Seaside Mimosa.
A good place for this candle is the kitchen counter or a side table in the dining room, a little away from where food is plated. Keep the flame clear of drafts and curtains, and never leave it unattended once the table is full of guests.
For a bright, cheerful scent that suits a mid-morning get-together, WoodWick Seaside Mimosa is hard to beat.
Planning a brunch around WoodWick Seaside Mimosa
For a brunch table, light the candle about half an hour before guests come over, so the room already smells good. The wooden wick crackle makes a nice background sound, so keep the music low.
Orange wax is also a bit of décor. Put the candle on a tray with a small plant or a few glasses, and the table looks done without much effort.
At the end of the meal, put the candle out with a snuffer rather than blowing it, and let the jar cool before moving it. It will be ready for the next weekend, and the one after that.
Little extras that make WoodWick Seaside Mimosa shine
This candle is a great pick for a spring or summer gift. Wrap it with a pair of champagne flutes or a bottle of sparkling juice, and you have a ready-made brunch present. It is also nice for a bridal shower or a birthday gathering.
If you want to make the room feel festive, pair the orange wax with white linens and fresh fruit. The bright color looks lovely against a plain table, and it photographs well too, if you like sharing your brunch spread with friends.
