The weather is just starting to turn. The cold artic air has passed letting the warmth of the sun shine through. It’s at times like this when I immediately want to abandon my heavier/warmer fragrance choices for bright and fun scents to embrace the new season.
The Lafco Moonglow Apricot candle has been calling me for a while now. Sitting there so perky with it’s vibrant golden orange hue, it’s been patiently waiting for me to be ready, and now is the time.
Have you ever taken a perfectly ripe apricot and pressed it right up to your nose so the soft fur tickles your lip? That’s what this smells like. While some women love the scent of a newborn baby’s head, this is my kind of scent induced bliss. The fragrance, with it’s juicy and fruity notes of apricot and lychee are a perfect match for the vibrant vessel. The scent is alive, bountiful and undoubtedly fragrant.
If you like fun and fruity fragrances like Voluspa Temple Grove, Voluspa Goji & Tarocco Orange, Archipelago Mango Tangerine or Trapp Guava Mango be sure to give this one a try.
Tips for enjoying lafco moonglow apricot
If you are enjoying lafco moonglow apricot, a few simple habits help you get the most from it.
- Trim the wick to about a quarter of an inch before every burn so the flame stays steady and clean.
- On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edges of the container to help prevent tunneling.
- Keep the candle away from drafts, fans and anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left in the container, and let it cool fully before relighting.

A quick scent guide
Care matters. Store candles and fragrance oils away from heat and direct sun, keep lids on, and follow the maker’s instructions to keep a scent smelling its best.
Start small when you try something new. A single candle, a sample or a small bottle lets you live with a scent before you commit to more.
Think about where the scent will live. Bright citrus and green notes tend to suit kitchens and bathrooms, while warm spice, vanilla and wood often suit living rooms and bedrooms.
Fragrance families help you shop. Floral, fruity, woody, fresh and gourmand scents each have a mood, and knowing which you enjoy makes choosing much easier.

Making the Most of Fruity Candles
Fruity candles can be tricky. Done well, they smell like ripe fruit and put you in a good mood. Done badly, they can smell sugary or flat. The best way to judge is to burn one and see how the scent behaves over a couple of hours.
Fruit scents work well in kitchens, sunrooms and home offices, where you want something cheerful and not heavy. They are less ideal in rooms where you want to wind down, since a bright scent can feel energizing.
Colored wax and glass look wonderful, but they can hide soot or smudges. Wipe the vessel when it is cool, and keep the candle out of direct sunlight, which can fade the color over time.
If you like to mix, pair a fruity candle with something green or woody. The contrast keeps sweetness in check and gives you a more grown-up result.
Fruit scents also layer well with citrus and light florals. Try a pairing in a small room first, since two bright candles together can become loud quickly.
When the candle gets low, stop with a half inch of wax left. Burning to the bottom can overheat the jar and spoil the last of the scent.
Store it with the lid on in a cool cupboard between uses. A bowl of real fruit on the counter is a nice companion, and it gives your nose a break from the candle between burns.
Think about the room, the season and the mood you want, then try a small size or sample first if you can.
