4. Jules and Gem Hawaiʻi Pīkake Candle, $38

The delicate pīkake lei is one of the most beautiful and fragrant lei in the Islands. Referred to as Aarabian Jasmine around the world, these flowers are known as pīkake (peacock) in Hawaiʻi thanks to Princess Kaʻiulani, who lovingly named it after her favorite bird. The pīkake flower is adored for its lovely smell, which can be shared with a candle from Jules and Gem Hawaiʻi. These candles are hand-poured in Honolulu with a natural blend of soy and coconut. Along with pīkake, you can also find candles featuring scents of Hawaiʻi’s iconic flowers, including pua kenikeni and pakalana. For those who love the fruity aromas, you can shop candles with notes of coconut, mango, guava, lilikoʻi and more.
