Behind Tomato Trellis: The Story of Our Garden-Fresh, Odor-Neutralizing Collection

    Erin Walton

    Sun on the vine. A trellis heavy with green. The particular hush of a garden at the height of summer.

    That's Tomato Trellis, Voluspa's newest tomato candle, built around ripened tomato vine and garden herbs. It's also designed to do something most candles can't: actually clear cooking smells instead of just perfuming over them.

    Consider it kitchen duty, handled. Strike the match, we'll take it from here.

    The Technology: How It Actually Clears Cooking Smells

    Tomato Trellis captures airborne odor molecules, then neutralizes them. So as the smell of last night's dinner fades, the fragrance rises in its place. Not a mask. A reset.

    This runs through the whole collection: candle, reed diffuser, room spray, so there's a fix for the long simmer and the quick spritz alike. Most kitchen candles are just louder than the smell they're covering. Tomato Trellis was made to outlast it instead.

    The Scent: A Garden, Not a Recipe

    The idea was simple: capture the feeling of a trellis in July.

    1. Top: Sunlit bergamot & lemon, garden mint.
    2. Heart: Rosemary sprigs, Roma tomato & spinach leaf.
    3. Base: Cypress, patchouli, white musk.

    The mood: Accomplished, Green & Serene.

    "We wanted to create a fragrance that functions as a palate cleanser for the heart of the home — the kitchen. Chop, roast, bake...mix it up, then unwind in the herbaceous, green serenity of Tomato Trellis. Fresh tomato vine, aromatic herbs, and garden greenery signal that the work is done, the kitchen is clean, and the moment is yours to enjoy."
    — Brittany Bell, Director of Fragrance & Education

    The vessel carries the same story: Japonica Collection craftsmanship in a brick-red glass that nods to the trellis itself.
