[ATWATER](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atwater-house) introduces the 'Atmosphere: Citrus Sky Candle,' a limited-edition plant-based fragrance designed to evoke the expansive landscapes and invigorating character of [California](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halcyon-coast).

Inspired by "the atmosphere of Route 99, the candle opens with bright top notes of bergamot, lemon, and crisp ozone to capture a sense of open air and movement." These fresh notes are followed by a balanced floral layer of jasmine and lily, adding depth and softness to the composition. A grounding base of musk, evergreen pine, and warm amber provides lasting warmth, creating a scent profile that is both refreshing and subtly atmospheric.

Hand-poured in Upstate New York, the candle is crafted from a [soy and coconut wax blend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adlan-fragrances) and features a cotton wick for a clean burn. It is housed in a reusable ceramic vessel, reinforcing its focus on quality and environmental consideration while offering a refined sensory experience for the home.
