Whether you're camping material or glamping material, there's nothing like the fresh scents of Cali's coastline to remind you of this glorious Golden State we call home. For those who aren't about to head from Hollywood to the Redwoods with a tent strapped to your back, Baxter of California's Sweet Ash candle is the next best thing to taking a hike along the 101.

Made of soy wax and inspired by "campfires of the great outdoors in the high mountains, low desert valleys and coastal beaches of California," this candle offers approximately 80 burning hours of dark woods with notes of patchouli, spicy ginger and orange. Light it up at your next late-night BBQ hangout for a faux forest experience or imbue your abode with the aroma of beachfront blazes, sans the lingering smoke-scented hair effect.
