Whether you’re a java junkie, trying to cut back on your caffeine, or just love the aroma of coffee, you’ll enjoy Starfish Oils’ Blue Mountain coffee-scented luminary.
Made with essential oils and beans from the prized Jamaican beverage, the hand-poured candle emits a heady scent that’ll put you in an island state of mind faster than you can say “Make mine a venti.”
And at approximately $12, it’s a whole lot cheaper than buying the real thing, which goes for upward of $40 a pound.
It’s available at Things Jamaican at Montego Bay’s Sangster International airport, or online at starfishoils.com.
