New fragrances from Linnea’s Lights are always worth getting excited about, and the blue agave candle is a good example. It joins Linden as one of two new scents for spring.
They’re here! The release of new home fragrance from Linnea’s Lights is always a moment to celebrate! There are few other boutique candle lines that have such unique fragrance creations.
It is also hard to find truly pure soy candles that are also incredibly fragrant, since soy wax often doesn’t hold fragrance as well as paraffin waxes. Still, Linnea’s Lights always provides a fragrant experience for the senses with their complex candles fragrances.
Escape to the Sea! Ocean has returned again this year as a popular Spring and Summer scent. With notes of salty sea air, rain, and water lily, Ocean provides a clean and fresh scent. Truly a breath of fresh air with light floral notes.
Linnea’s Lights introduced two new fragrances this Spring: Blue Agave and Linden.
I love Blue Agave for this time of year; the perfect balance of green, floral, and airy. Notes of water lily create a light floral scent and the greenness of cactus and agave bring some earthy components to the fragrance.
Add a twist of lime and you’ve got a perfect, slightly exotic, escape from the chilly winter air that is holding on.
Though, in February it may seem a little too early in the year for floral fragrances (especially in parts of the country where winter is still in charge) Linden is the perfect fragrance for someone wanting a soft and gentle floral fragrance.
Linden blossom creates a light floral, slightly honeyed fragrance, while neroli adds in a little citrus. White patchouli mellows the linden and neroli.
If you are looking to try a new fragrance or candle line, I highly recommend exploring Linnea’s Lights. These newest scents from Linnea’s Lights have definitely been on par with the quality and complexity of scents from this Indiana based brand. Pure sophistication with long-lasting fragrance to fill a room– check out Linnea’s Lights today.
Enjoy!

What to expect from the blue agave candle
The note list reads green, floral and airy. Water lily gives a light floral scent, cactus and agave bring in earthy, green components, and a twist of lime adds a slightly exotic edge. It is an escape from the chilly winter air that is hanging on.
Agave itself is a succulent plant best known for its role in making certain drinks and fibers. If you want the plant background, the Agave article on Wikipedia is a good read. For the candle, though, think green and clean rather than sweet.
Blue agave candle or Linden?
Linnea’s Lights introduced two new scents, and they are quite different. Linden is soft and gentle, with linden blossom that is lightly floral and slightly honeyed, neroli adding a little citrus, and white patchouli mellowing both. It is a good match if you want a floral even though winter has not given up.
Blue agave is the green, airy choice. If you like fresh candles, you might also enjoy Linnea’s Lights Ocean, which is salty sea air, rain and water lily and has come back as a popular spring and summer scent.
Why soy wax and fragrance need good makers
One point in this post stands out: it is hard to find pure soy candles that are also strongly fragrant, because soy wax often does not hold fragrance as well as paraffin. Linnea’s Lights manages to deliver complex scent in soy, which is a big reason fans of this Indiana-based brand keep coming back.
To get the best from any soy candle, let the first burn reach the edges of the jar, trim the wick, and avoid drafts. Fragrance throw depends a lot on a full melt pool. You can read about candle types on the Candle page on Wikipedia.
If you want to learn more about the brand before trying a candle, my post Linnea’s Lights: Behind the Brand tells their story, and New Spring Fragrances from Linnea’s Lights covers other spring fragrances.
For a green, light scent that works in a spring room, the blue agave candle is a fresh addition to the line.
Trying the blue agave candle this spring
If you are looking for something to carry you out of winter, the blue agave candle is a fresh pick, and it works well in a kitchen, a sunroom or a bathroom. Put one by a window with some light and it will remind you spring is coming.
It is also a good candle to pair with a bunch of fresh greens or a plant on a side table. The blue agave candle is airy enough that it will not overwhelm a space, so you can leave it burning during a long afternoon.
If you are collecting Linnea’s Lights, start with the blue agave candle and add Linden for a soft floral and Ocean for a clean sea breeze. Three candles, three very different moods.
