Trader Joe’s Tomato Leaf scented candle for spring is …different.

I sort of like this different candle for Spring?

It’s zingy and nicely balanced with Bergamot, Rhubarb and Geranium. These scents bring out the neglected range of the tomato:  herbal, fruity and floral.

But the scent is really, really strong.

Does it have the distinct smell of tomato plants?  Nah.

Once again, with Trader Joe’s candles, they could make a lid that better fits at the bottom.

At $9.99, serving up competition to Sand + Fog is a good thing, and we’ll see what TJ’s comes up with next in the world of aromas.
