Find your Martha’s Vineyard memory in seven Katama candles, from Aquinnah’s cliffs and Menemsha’s harbor to South Beach, wooded trails, and up-Island gardens.
What does Martha’s Vineyard smell like to you? A salty breeze on the way to the beach, a wooded trail opening onto the water, or herbs gathered from a summer garden? Katama Candle Company’s seven Island-inspired candles translate those places and memories into scents you can bring home. Here’s where each one takes you.
Aquinnah Afternoon: a quiet moment at the cliffs
Think of the pause after a drive up-Island, with soft light and time to take in the view. Aquinnah Afternoon pairs lavender and sage for a calm, herbal interpretation of that reflective moment.
Scent notes: Lavender and Sage.
Menemsha Sunset: the last light on the harbor
Menemsha Sunset captures the mood of boats coming in as the sky shifts from citrus-bright to amber. Bright fruit gives way to soft florals and a warm base, echoing an evening that you wish would last a little longer.
Scent notes: Bergamot, Sweet Orange, Night-Blooming Gardenia, Coconut, Amber, Vanilla, and Musk.
Katama Breeze: the bike path to South Beach
The fog has burned off, and the breeze carries salt and flowers along the path. Katama Breeze brings together airy coastal notes and wild blooms, recalling the walk or ride before your feet reach the sand.
Scent notes: Sea Breeze, Butterfly Flower, and Wild Honeysuckle.
Cedar Tree Neck: where the woods meet the water
A slow walk through Cedar Tree Neck Sanctuary is the inspiration for Cedar Tree Neck. Warm wood, soft sweetness, and a thread of salt evoke the transition from forest trail to rocky shore.
Scent notes: Cedar, Vanilla, Light Musk, and Sea Salt.
Up-Island Orchard: an autumn evening
Not every Island memory belongs to summer. Up-Island Orchard blends crisp fruit with maple warmth and a hint of bourbon, bringing to mind sweater weather and a cozy evening in after a fall day on the Vineyard.
Scent notes: Crisp Apple, Maple, and a Hint of Bourbon.
South Beach Sunshine: warm sand at day’s end
Where Katama Breeze is the journey to the beach, South Beach Sunshine is the feeling of staying awhile. Salt water, green beach grass, and sunny sweetness recall steady surf and sand that still feels warm in the early evening.
Scent notes: Salt Water, Beach Grass, and Sugary Citrus.
Chilmark Gardens: a late-summer kitchen garden
Chilmark Gardens evokes a morning among the vegetable rows before the heat sets in. Tomato leaf and basil meet bright citrus and earthy herbs for a fresh, green reminder of gathering something good from the garden.
Scent notes: Tomato Leaf, Lemon Peel, Lemongrass, Thyme, Basil, and Moss.
