Some candle scents tiptoe. Fresh Squeezed does not. It hits you with bergamot and blood orange right out of the gate, then layers in grapefruit through the middle and settles on a cedar base that keeps the whole thing from floating away. It smells like someone is zesting citrus right next to you. Bold, tangy, and unapologetically bright.
This is Broken Top's most energizing scent, and they make it in five formats. If you are the kind of person who perks up around citrus - who gravitates toward lemon in the kitchen and grapefruit in the morning - this line was built for you.
Fresh Squeezed 9oz Soy Candle - $26
Hand-poured soy wax from Bend, Oregon, with roughly 50 hours of burn time. The throw on this one is strong. Within fifteen minutes, your room smells like a citrus grove in the best possible way. The bergamot hits first, then the blood orange rolls in with that tangy sweetness, and the cedar base keeps it grounded so it does not become one-dimensional.
Fresh Squeezed is an outstanding kitchen and living room candle. It neutralizes cooking smells, freshens up a space without competing with whatever else is going on, and just makes a room feel awake. It is a year-round scent, but it absolutely shines from April through September.
Bar Soap - $12
A 5oz hand-cut bar with the same bold citrus profile in soap form. The lather is bright and invigorating - like a wake-up call for your shower routine. Bergamot and blood orange come through in the suds, and you step out smelling clean with a subtle citrus finish that fades naturally over the next couple of hours.
If your current body wash smells like "sport" or "clean breeze" or some other vague concept, this is a significant upgrade. Real citrus notes from actual fragrance oils, in a bar soap that is actually worth using.
Air Freshener - $9
The budget-friendly entry point. A phthalate-free paper freshener with two to four weeks of life. Fresh Squeezed works exceptionally well in this format because citrus scents are naturally uplifting without being overwhelming in a small space. Hang it in your car and every time you open the door, it smells like you just peeled an orange.
If you have been looking for a car air freshener that does not smell like chemicals pretending to be fruit, this is exactly that. Real citrus character, zero synthetic weirdness.
Roll-On Perfume - $26
A 10mL roll-on with an organic jojoba oil base. The citrus comes through clean and true on the skin - the bergamot is the star here, with the blood orange adding sweetness and the cedar giving it something to hold onto. The jojoba base helps the scent last longer than citrus typically does on skin, which is a known challenge with lighter fragrance families.
This is a great everyday scent. It is fresh without being generic, interesting without being complicated. Apply to your wrists and neck in the morning and you carry a little burst of sunshine with you. Nobody is going to ask if you are wearing too much. They are going to ask what smells so good.
Room & Linen Spray - $16
A 4oz spray that delivers immediate citrus brightness to any space. Two or three spritzes and your room transforms. It lands like a burst of morning energy - the bergamot and blood orange are front and center, sharp and tangy, then mellow into that grapefruit-cedar blend over the next few minutes.
This is the format to reach for when you want a quick reset. After cooking, before guests arrive, when your home office starts feeling stale at 2pm. If you already know you like using room sprays as part of your routine, Fresh Squeezed is one of the most versatile citrus options you will find.
Where to Start
If you are new to Fresh Squeezed, start with the candle. The 50-hour burn time gives you plenty of chances to live with the scent, and the strong throw means you will know within one session whether citrus candles are your thing. Most people who try this one end up burning through it faster than they expected because they light it every morning out of habit.
From there, the room spray is the natural second purchase for quick refreshes, and the bar soap makes sense if you want to bring the scent into your daily routine.
