Clean Slate Greenhouse Candle, €19, see brownthomas.com; cleanslate.ie

There are a lot of tomatoes growing — or not growing — in gardens and windowboxes around Ireland this summer. Regardless of how your crop is getting on, the sharp but warm, green scent of tomato plants and basil is brightly evoked in this soy-based candle, from Irish company Clean Slate. It excels in creating scents that stir associations and this one definitely speaks of summer. “This brings the outside in quite deliciously,” said a panellist. “It’s verdant but not vegetal!”
