I cook a lotlike a lot a lot.
Were talking the good, fragrant stuff: garlic, curry, cauliflower.
Its the throw in of aroma that gets in my towels, my curtains, and sweaters.
It goes beyond the expected few-hour, post-dinner linger.
That telltale cumin scent stays for hours.
Nothing like inviting a few friends over for drinks to a place that smells like steamed broccoli.
You simply light after cooking to clear any of those funkydinnersmells that might be overstaying their welcome.
The critic in me was highly skeptical at first.
How was a candle really going to get rid of the aroma of chorizo?
So I ran some tests on the smelliest culinary culprits in my kitchen rotation.
Im vegan, so my most serious stink offenders tend to be cruciferous vegetables, curry, and garlic.
I was impressed at how easily it cleared the steamed-kale air.
Same for the sauteed garlic and shiitakes that I love so dearly.
If you dont already know Brightland, you should.
When I first lit the Digestif candle, I found that to be true.
The candles scent infused my entire apartment, not just the kitchen.
The Digestif looks great, too.
I love the glass vessel it comes in.
Its a frosted white, instead of clear glass, and Ive repurposed mine as a bud vase.
Most importantly, it really works!
Its nothing like burning yourfavorite floral or woodsy bedroom candlein your kitchen.
The candle clears any unwanted smellsnot in a covering-up, perfume-y waybut in a palate-cleansing way.
One catch: Just know that the candle does not work instantaneously.
It takes 20 to 60 minutes to work its magic.
Still, with a 40-hour burn time (maybe even longer), whats not to love?
I love the scent so much that Im guilty of no longer reserving it as a post-dinner refresher.
In my house, this candle is doing double-duty as aperitifanddigestif.
