Haint Blue Citronella Candle

Keep mosquitos and evil spirits away with our Haint Blue Citronella soy candle! Perfect for your summer outdoor gatherings, citronella is a natural bug and mosquito repellant. Infused with notes of persimmon and citron, it smells great while also keeping those pesky mosquitos away.

Haint is a Gullah term for evil spirits or ghosts, and it was believed that the Haint blue color warded off these not-so-welcome visitors. The belief is that the color would mimic the blue sky and haints would pass by the home. Painting porch ceilings Haint blue has become a long-honored tradition in Charleston and the Lowcountry.

Our Haint Blue Citronella candle comes in 12 oz. matte glass. Unlike many citronella candles, our Haint Blue Citronella candle is environmentally friendly, made from sustainable soy wax.
