Product Insights
The MALIN+GOETZ Tomato Scented Candle offers a fresh tomato vine scent with a possible soapy undertone, but its hot throw is often subtle even in small rooms, requiring careful wick trimming and a long first burn for optimal performance. The hand-poured, small-batch candle in Brooklyn provides a 60-hour clean burn in a reusable glass jar that can become a drinking glass, though natural wax frosting may appear cosmetically. It is best suited for daytime and spring/summer use, and pairs well with Jo Malone's Green Tomato Vine candle, positioning it alongside luxury brands like Jonathan Adler and Jo Malone in market recognition.

User describes the M+G tomato candle scent and throw
I have it. It’s that spicy tomato-on-the-vine scent but it has a little bit of a soapy note to it. Unfortunately I cannot remember how good the throw is. The cold throw is good (but that of course means nothing).

I burn it in tandem with Malin + Goetz Tomato and the combination is intoxicating.

User finds M+G tomato candle has poor throw
Ok maybe I'll try the room spray. I just don't get a lot of throw from the lit candle sadly.

User rates M+G tomato candle as just alright
Malin + Goetz is alright, I probably wouldn’t repurchase.

User raves about the M+G tomato candle
Mine came as well! The Tomato candle is absolutely amazing. I smelled It at a friends place a while back, and I’m so happy that I was able to find It at a discounted price. It’s a fresh, green, and bright scent. Perfect for daytime or spring/summer uses. I wish I had bought another one.
