What do you want out of a candle? Here at Erica Wilson, we believe that a good candle means sustainable wax, a lengthy burn, and, of course, a hypnotic scent. The best candles instantly make you feel relaxed when you light them. 

That’s what Erica Wilson has to offer with the Soy Wax Candle collection. The store specializes in all things Nantucket – it’s located there, after all – and that includes the candles. Each scent represents the small island in Massachusetts, from the salt-wind air to the enchanting wildflowers that grow around the paths. 

Best of all, every soy wax candle is made from 100% soy wax, which is biodegradable (unlike many other candle waxes). Plus, the single wick has a slow burn time, allowing you time to let the scents envelop you. You can enjoy Erica Wilson’s relaxing candles without worrying about harming the earth or the wick running low too quickly! 

The Sconset Bloom candle is a big hit for island visitors. With scents like honeysuckle, wild rose, and bergamot, it provides a floral aroma as soon as you light it. Once lit, your home fragrance will transform into one reminiscent of open, flowery meadows in the summertime heat. If you enjoy long walks through fields, this Erica Wilson candle is the one for you. 

You might prefer the South Shore candle, which emits sea salt and sage scents. As it burns, you’ll feel like you’re right by the oceanfront, breathing in the fresh salt air while watching the waves flow in and out. It’s a unique feeling that you can’t usually replicate at home - unless you have one of these candles! 

The last candle by Erica Wilson is the Madaket Mist candle. This unique scent combines neroli and basil, creating a fresh, citrusy smell that lingers long after the wick runs out. If you miss the gentle sunset over the island and the crisp Nantucket nights, you are sure to love this candle’s scent. 

You might even want to get all three and watch the candles burn together! Whichever Erica Wilson candle you choose, you will feel like you are in Nantucket. The next time you’re in Nantucket, visit the store to make your candle purchase. Or, you can order your candle online and get it delivered to your door. 

These Erica Wilson candles are great to purchase for yourself, but they also make excellent gifts. The receiver will love to open their present to find a slow-burning, sustainable candle that smells just like Nantucket island life! It’s a treat for anyone to open. 

Erica Wilson also has perfumes in the same scents as the candles, so if you fall in love with one of the scents, you can wear it in your day-to-day life, too! 

Every hand-poured scented candle from Erica Wilson is perfect for bringing the island vibe to the comfort of your home. The candle features ensure you can escape to Nantucket instantly, whether you are on the island or somewhere else.
