The scent of tomato vine…

This time of year we end up eating tomatoes like they are candy, they are so sweet and ripe and delicious. We slice them up for salads and usually have a bowl of rinsed cherry or grape tomatoes sitting on the counter to be enjoyed as a snack.

The only thing I like better than garden fresh tomatoes is the scent of the tomato vine. If I see one I touch it so I can smell that distinctive, fresh scent on my hands for awhile. Years ago, Votivo used to make an incredible Tomato Vine scented candle that I loved to burn all through the summer months. But I haven’t found that candle {or many Votivo products} for years.
So, imagine my elation when someone brought me this tomato bougie parfumée from Jonathan Adler {he’s just opened a shop in Seattle ~ yay!}. I was so happy to have this lovely smelling ruby goblet in my kitchen. The only thing is, the scent is a little too subtle for me…. sorry Mr. Adler….
But receiving this thoughtful gift reminded me of this pleasure, so I went on a little hunt and within minutes, my fingers found a handful of other options. I’ve ordered a few of these, which I will put to the sniff test, and report back.
What are you enjoying from the gardens these days?

  • A reader just sent me an email about another candle company Pickwick and Co. out of Kansas City, MO, they have beautiful looking candles and one is "Tomato leaf". I am going to the midwest this weekend, so I am going to be looking for this brand. It looks as if they only sell to the trade on~line, but here is the link: http://www.pickwickandco.com/
