A tradition dating back all the way to medieval Europe, the pomander (from the French “pomme d’ambre”) is has endured as an aromatherapeutic icon for over 800 years. Originally made from various natural resins and spices formed into the shape of an apple, modern pomanders are typically made by studding a fresh orange with dried cloves and allowing it to dry. It’s this contemporary incarnation that acts as the inspiration for Trader Joe’s Orange & Spice Scented Candle & Room Spritz, a spectacular seasonal gift set that’s ideal for anyone who enjoys the aromas of citrus and warm spice.

Made for us by a supplier in Tunisia, each set contains one Orange & Spice Scented Candle, made from a blend of soy wax, coconut oil, and beeswax, and one bottle of Orange & Spice Room Spritz, made with a mix of orange, clove, and cinnamon oils. We recommend enjoying the soft light and relaxing scent of the Candle whenever you’re looking to de-stress—we’re especially fond of burning one while reading a book or taking a bath at the end of a long day. And with its invigorating notes of orange zest, spices, and geranium flowers, the Room Spritz is a wonderful way to freshen up any room when the air gets stuffy or stale. Great for giving as a gift, or for enjoying in your own household as a seasonal scent, be sure to pick up your Trader Joe’s Orange & Spice Scented Candle & Room Spritz soon, because unlike the enduring appeal of a pomander, our supplies are limited.
