Tavira Outdoor Citronella Candle

Equal parts sculpture and scent, this outdoor teak candle transforms citronella from utility into understated elegance—proving that even mosquito repellents can become objets d’art.

Product Description
More than just a vessel for flame, The Tavira is a study in form and function for elevated outdoor living. Hand-carved from richly grained teak, this outdoor standing candle doubles as a sculptural centerpiece—anchoring patios, terraces, and poolside lounges with quiet presence and natural poise. Pre-filled with high-quality citronella wax, it offers a refined alternative to standard bug deterrents—repelling insects while casting a warm, diffused glow over open-air dinners and golden-hour gatherings.

The generous, bowl-like form rests on a subtly tapered base, creating a silhouette that’s as architectural as it is elemental. Designed exclusively for outdoor use, the teak develops a silvery patina over time, only adding to its character with each passing season.

Unlike disposable citronella tins, this is the outdoor candle you’ll want to display—and refill.

Style Advice from Rachel Blindauer
Every outdoor space deserves a signature piece that feels intentional. I love using The Tavira on low tables surrounded by woven lounge seating or flanking a garden path for an atmospheric welcome. Its sculptural teak base plays beautifully with natural textures—linen cushions, rattan planters, or stone pavers—and the citronella scent is subtle enough to blend seamlessly into an al fresco setting.

Design Tip: Style in pairs for symmetry, or mix with varying candle heights to create dimension on a long outdoor dining table.
