A glass candle lit among fresh basil, fig leaves and a vine of green tomatoes

Green candles

Pinch a basil leaf off the plant and smell your fingers: that's green. Crushed leaves and cut stems, mint, sage, a pot of green tea, the sharp, peppery smell of a tomato vine. It's spring and early summer in a jar, at home in kitchens, sunrooms and anywhere with houseplants. Gardeners love it, along with anyone who likes their candles savory rather than sweet.
