At under $10, the Trader Joe’s Tomato Leaf Scented Candle was a steal compared to candles sold in other retail stores. The smell was described as a blend of tomato leaves with bergamot, rhubarb, and geranium. That said, several consumers expressed their disdain for the candle’s scent on social media. On Instagram, user @traderjoeslist said that she loved it, noting that the earthy smell “reminds me of gardening.” Several fans disagreed with her opinion, with one saying, “I almost dropped the candle when smelling it at the store cuz it was so horrible.”
Another person wrote, “It smells exactly like you would imagine it should.. but it’s not a smell you’d want permeating your house. It’s a headache in a glass container.” Others asked if the candle was an April Fool’s joke.
If you return the Tomato Leaf Scented Candle to Trader Joe’s, treat yourself to a safer scent. Their latest is the Salted Caramel + Pistachio Scented Candle, which comes in a tin jar and retails for only $3.99.
