What Candle Smells Like Anthropologie's Volcano?

What does Volcano smell like?

Capri Blue's Volcano is one of the most recognizable candle scents in the country, largely because of the blue jar at Anthropologie. The scent is a sugared citrus: think tropical fruit and sweet oranges, lemons, and limes, with a green, slightly herbal backbone that keeps it from being pure candy. It's bright, sweet-tart, and cheerful, which is why it works year-round and reads as clean and sunny rather than heavy.

Is there a candle that smells like Volcano?

Volcano is widely imitated, and the honest truth is that no dupe is a perfect copy of the Capri Blue formula. What you can match is the accord that makes it addictive: bright citrus with a juicy, sugared sweetness and a green edge. If that's what you love, you want a candle that leads with lively citrus and has the throw to fill a room the way the Anthropologie jar does.

The closest match: bright, zesty citrus

Gold Canyon's Ginger Lime is the closest pick. Its notes are electrifying lime, refreshing lemongrass, and zesty ginger, described on the site as a cold, refreshing drink on a hot summer day. It shares Volcano's bright, sweet-tart citrus character with that same green, herbal lift, and because it's a 100% soy three-wick, it throws across the room instead of staying near the jar. It leans more lime-and-herb where Volcano leans sugared-orange, so if you want the sweeter orange side, reach for Fresh Orange or Orange Blossom, which pairs bright citrus with a soft floral musk.
