Quick answer

Choose the Tomato Trellis Large Jar Candle if you want a fresh, green garden scent that also helps neutralize kitchen odors. It suits open kitchens and dining areas best; for bedrooms or small offices, consider a lighter floral or woody candle instead.

What the scent actually smells like

Tomato Trellis opens with sunlit bergamot and garden mint, then settles into rosemary sprigs and Roma tomato leaf. The overall effect is herbal and green rather than sweet or fruity—think a sun-warmed vegetable garden after watering, not a tomato salad.

Because the fragrance leans fresh and slightly sharp, it reads clean rather than cozy. That makes it a strong daytime choice but a less obvious fit for evening wind-down routines.

The odor-neutralizing claim, in plain terms

Voluspa states that the Tomato Trellis collection uses odor-neutralizing technology designed to capture and neutralize unwanted kitchen odors. This is a functional claim from the brand, not an independent lab result, so treat it as a bonus rather than the main reason to buy.

In practice, that means the candle is best used while or just after cooking, when odors are present. If your goal is pure ambiance with no odor issue, you are paying for a feature you may not need.

Where the large jar format fits

A large jar candle gives you more wax and a longer burn than a small jar, so it suits a primary living space where you light a candle regularly. The trade-off is counter space and a higher upfront cost—the catalog price is USD 24.32, compared with a USD 38.00 comparison price.

If you only light candles occasionally or have limited surface area, a smaller format may be more practical. The large jar makes most sense as a daily-use candle in one dedicated room.

Decision rules for buying Tomato Trellis

  • If your main goal is kitchen odor control: Buy it for open kitchens or dining zones where cooking smells linger. Light it during or right after cooking, not hours later. Odor-neutralizing technology works best when the odor is present, so timing matters more than burn time.
  • If you want a fresh green scent for a bedroom: Skip it. The herbal, slightly sharp profile is more bracing than relaxing; choose a softer floral or vanilla candle for sleep spaces.
  • If you are comparing sizes: Choose the large jar only if you light candles at least a few times a week in one room. Occasional users get less value from the extra wax. Match the jar size to your lighting frequency, not to the room size alone.
  • If you are scent-sensitive: Start with a short burn in a well-ventilated room. Green herbal notes can read stronger than sweet scents to some noses.
