Smoke Odor: Exterminator Candle (13oz Lemon Haze)

I lit this candle the day my roommate burned popcorn in the kitchen, and within an hour the whole apartment smelled like a fresh citrus grove instead of smoke. The lemon and grapefruit notes are bright without being sour, and the 70-hour burn time means I’ve gotten weeks of use out of it.

The citrus blend is sharp and clean, not cloying at all, and the mint adds a nice cool edge that actually cuts through stale air. I lit it after frying fish and the place smelled like a fancy cocktail bar within a couple of hours. Sixty‑plus hours of burn time for this size feels like a steal.

My kitchen still smells like the lemon-grapefruit zest blend two days later, and that mint-musk base keeps it from being too sharp. The 70-hour burn time is no joke either—I’ve used it every evening for a week and the wax barely dips.
