Love tomato scents! Will have to check out the Flamingo estate one. Did you try Herbarium’s Tomato vine? Smells like tomatoes on a vine when you go in a green house, it has not just the scent of the fruit but the stem of the tomato as well. So it has some greenness to it.
Oh this is the investigative journalism we need!! Thank you for saving me from buying the Loewe 💸💸💸 it is gorgeous and I’m sure smells divine but for that price it had better be perfect 😂
The Austin Press one isn’t supposed to be tomato but I think it’s my fave kitchen candle regardless. I have another tomato one gifted to me from otherland- you want it?
I’m also wanting you to try the M+G one and report back!!
Hahah oops sorry! But now I’m swapping in a more budget contender and this can be a series or like a single elimination competition. Which tomato will reign supreme?!
Your reporting on the tomato vine candle revival, and confirmation that the Flamingo Estates remains your top rec, is appreciated! Forever chasing the sensation of being mid 20s over at my very cool older co-worker’s home in the LA hills with its matte olive green walls, old wood furniture, and tomato plant candle scent.
I’m sorry to have to report, but I bought the Mrs Meyers tomato vine hand soap and it’s not what one might hope for😔 However, on a different note I keep being happy for you that you got to put oud on your body and experience such a strong sense memory 🥹 That substack stranger magic ✨
Glad to know the others don’t live up to the Flamingo Estate one—that’s also my favorite tomato candle! Have tried a kobo one and an apotheke one and still liked the Flamingo Estate one the best by far
GOOD TO KNOW on all of this. Everyone probably knows about this already, but I just got some Mrs. Meyers Tomato vine cleaning supplies and they smell SO GOOD (to me). Highly recommend, and also wonder what the candle smells like! https://www.mrsmeyers.com/scent/tomato-vine/?utm_medium=search-paid-brand&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=20240419-us-brand-scents-exact&utm_content=term&utm_term=mrs-meyers-tomato-vine&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsc24BhDPARIsAFXqAB3eK0eFpUrznW_zJ14WFTfVQB76gZmcqg8h59dMcsPxBntgs4ToAwYaAunPEALw_wcB
Oh WAIT A MINUTE. I didn’t know this Kellyn. Will be purchasing. Thank you!
lemme know how the candle smells - I’m sure not as good as Flamingo Estate, but the cleaning spray is so refreshing.
I love Mrs. Meyers cleaning stuff too def going to get those and who knows! Maybe this will be even better than Flamingo.
that would be the ultimate, but I won’t get my hopes up yet 😏
wait! haha this is the fall leaf collection - my bad. Updated the link. Doesn't look like they have a tomato candle, just the cleaners.

I’m into it.
Has anyone tried the Malin + Goetz tomato candle? I haven’t, but I’m curious
I haven’t but maybe I need to in the name of research.
Is it weird to post a tik tok? But this guy is so entertaining and is obsessed with tomato hand soap (as well as the candle)...

Omg haha I almost included one of his tiktoks in this post! I love him.
