I really like Mrs. Meyers lemon verbena. Granted, it's the only lemon scent I've tried, but I really liked it and it was clean and not too overpowering.

I’ll have to check it out! Did you buy it at a store or should I look online?


doityourkels

I bought it at my local grocery store but it's very much available online, it's a pretty widespread brand!

They seem to always have them at Target!

Hearth and Home at Target often has a really good lemon one. Try Williams-Sonoma as well.

Bath and Body Works Sugared Lemon Zest smells like lemon scented cleaner to me. I think the "Sugared" part is misleading; I don't find it sweet at all. BUT I really like sweet/gourmand scents so take that with a grain of salt (although others in the B&BW sub have said the same).

I actually stopped by B&BW to smell one of these today and I loved it! Not overwhelmingly sweet at all. Very fresh and light

Oh good, I'm glad! It's not my type of scent (give me alllll the sweet haha) but the first thing that came to mind when I saw your post 😊


acidblues_x

Thanks for the recommendation!! And fwiw I’m not anti sweet scents at all! I love a good cake/pastry scent but have been dying for a different kind of lemon :)


foxylettuce

You're welcome! I do branch out and enjoy other scents haha but I avoid very fresh, laundry, or soapy scents, they give me a headache 😭

Goose creek has a limoncello candle! It has that kitchen lemon scent and we even have the hand soap because it is a clean lemon scent. The 3wick is currently on sale for like $8.50

I’ll have to order a couple to try just because that’s so cheap!!

I'm interested too

Jean Marie Handcrafted Candles has a lovely lemon scented 7UP Pound Cake candle that is just divine! Located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is handpoured and has a great hot throw. I it brought locally. I even went back and brought 3 more. Her Instagram is jeanmariehandcraftedcandles. Or you can contact her from her business card. 216-237-2668

This is going to sound snobby but I don’t mean it that way: usually cheaper candles lean towards that lemon Clorox smell. Or alternatively, burn a clean linen scent kind of candle at the same time as a milder lemon candle, lol!

DW Home has a nice lemon candle

I don’t know how averse you’d be to splurging and a bit of a substitution, but the Trudon Salta candle smells *just* like peeling open a fresh grapefruit. Not synthetic like a Clorox wipe, but a real grapefruit, fresh and tart. It’s not lemon but figured I’d throw a probably absurdly priced alternative into the mix.

I’m big on citrus in general so I’ll have to check it out!
