From "clean hair care" brand Ceremonia, the Guava candle: "Gentle, sweet, and balanced, this scented candle blends ripe guava fruit with a delicate hint of lemon zest. South American tonka bean adds nostalgic familiarity alongside subtle whispers of violet, black tea, vetiver, and brown sugar. The result is a layered fragrance that opens up and blossoms with the woodiness of a humid rainforest." 266 ml for $36 at Sephora.
