Making Scents Out Of Online Candle Buying.

Sniffing out the perfect candle scent from an online description is virtually impossible.

APOTHEKE founder, Chrissy Fichtl, is here to help with her picks for every occasion.

Chrissy’s Favorite Fragrance For…

  • a dinner party

    “There is nothing more classic nor a better conversation starter than Charcoal,” Chrissy says. Charcoal combines cedarwood and sandalwood with smoky embers, burnt maple, and a hint of raspberry for a broody and full-bodied fragrance.

  • a romantic mood

    “Everyone wants a sophisticated yet luxury twist to their romantic night in,” Chrissy says. “And Charcoal Rouge is my fave to light. “ Charcoal Rouge combines velvety damask rose, crushed geranium leaf bathed in spicy elemi resin with hints of lemon and infused with the smoky and earthy essence of burning birch to create an intoxicating and romantic fragrance.

  • a soak in the tub

    The clear winner says Chrissy, is Hinoki Lavender. It’s “the perfect twist on your traditional relaxation vibe with a woody and grounding twist to balance you out.” Hinoki Lavender combines hinoki cypress with fresh lavender enhanced by hints of lotus flower and sandalwood to create an earthy and revitalizing fragrance.

  • a guest bathroom

    “The best classic fragrance to both impress and leave your guest wondering, ‘What is that scent?’ is our White Vetiver,” Chrissy says. White Vetiver combines silky cashmere, eucalyptus, and lilac mingled with earthy vetiver, creamy sandalwood, crisp amber, and white cedar for a unique and elegant fragrance.

  • a foul odor

    Need to freshen up your space? Chrissy suggests Earl Grey Bitters as it has “the perfect blend of citrus with touches of wood and amber.” Earl Grey Bitters infuses aromatic black tea leaves with citrusy bergamot, fresh lemon zest, and a hint of soft peony for a soothing and revitalizing fragrance.
