Sitting along the southern shore of Lake Monroe, where the St. Johns River flows through, Sanford has been connected to the water from the very beginning. In the 1870s, Henry Sanford envisioned the city as a transportation hub, with steamboats carrying people and goods along the river to a growing Central Florida.
Sanford also has deep roots in Florida’s citrus history. At his nearby Belair grove and experimental garden, Henry Sanford grew more than 140 varieties of citrus, including the Valencia orange.
Today, Sanford’s historic downtown is filled with local restaurants, breweries, shops, galleries, and plenty of reasons to wander a few blocks off the RiverWalk. Lake Monroe and the St. Johns are still very much part of the city, whether you're arriving by boat, walking along the waterfront, or watching the Rivership make its way across the lake.
Sanford pays tribute to the city’s citrus-growing past with bright grapefruit, orange, and lemon, followed by mandarin and pomegranate. Vetiver and cedar add an earthy, woodsy finish that keeps the citrus fresh rather than sweet.
A little Florida citrus, a little river history, and a whole lot of Sanford.

Candle Care Tips
Candle Care Tips
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep. We recommend burning for a maximum of 4 hours each time you enjoy your candle.
- Follow the 2-foot rule. Don't place a burning candle within 2 feet of clothing, books, curtains, or other flammable objects.
- Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, and any air currents. This keeps the flame burning steadily in the center of the candle.
- Trim the wick to ¼” before every burn. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large, and also cuts down on any excess soot.
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.
- When burning multiple candles at once, always place them at least 3 inches apart from each other.
- A burning candle should never be used as a nightlight. Always extinguish any lit candles before going to sleep.
- A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time, exceeding this could cause safety issues.
How It's Made
Tested Until It's Right
Every Lemon Bluff candle is carefully tested before it earns a place in our collection. We conduct multiple burn tests, adjusting wick size and fragrance load as needed while monitoring flame behavior, vessel temperature, scent throw, and overall performance.
Because making a beautiful candle is only part of the job. It has to burn beautifully, too.
The Perfect Candle Awaits After a Two-Week Cure
Once all tests are passed, we create your candle! We then let the candle cure for 2 weeks. This allows the candle to harden, improving the melt pool while it burns. This also allows the fragrance to be distributed throughout the candle, binding to the wax, and improving the overall scent.
Once cured, another quality check is performed, and we prepare the candle to present to you.
Enjoy!
