Trader Joes fans are going gaga for gorgeous $10 trinket but its only available for the summer

If inflation has sabotaged your “la dolce vita” summer travel plans, Trader Joe’s is coming correct with a consolation prize.The grocery chain has dropped a scented Limoncello candle, and fans are scent drunk.With a reported burn time of 30 hours, it’s a way to pretend you’re under the Tuscan sun without paying exorbitant airfare or braving the prosciutto-swollen, maddening crowds.Made of a soy wax blend, the candle has been described as “sweet, fresh, and zesty.” “Whether it’s a breezy evening outdoors, a softly lit dinner at home, or a tranquil bubble bath after a long day, our Limoncello Scented Candles are here to bring cozy vibes and a relaxing ambiance,” said Trader Joe’s, waxing poetic (pun intended) on its website.

The company maintains that the candles “evoke their namesake liqueur without ever being overpowering.”According to one wick-worshipping social media user, “If sunshine had a scent, it would be this candle.”The candle is also Apartment Therapy approved, described by the site as “absolutely gorgeous.”While the candle is held in a becoming blue-and-yellow-striped ceramic jar that suggests sailboats, day drinking while living off dividends, crisp linens, exclusive rehabs, and a second home on the coast, it is priced at just $9.99.“This new Limoncello candle smells like Summer, has the look of a higher-end brand, and is priced so good!” mused @simply_grace_ful in a recent Instagram post, urging others to “buy several to place around your home!” In the clip, the interior design influencer is seen following her own instructions, placing candles throughout her greige-heavy home.The candle is shown on not one but two slabs of reclaimed wood, next to a vase of anemones, and on a gilded serving platter.
