It becomes either a treat for themselves or a confident gift they know will be loved. Rica is Italy's number one professional wax brand, made in Italy. Their Sicilian candle collection represents the same Italian quality and sense of place applied to home fragrance — and Taormina is the most universally celebrated destination in a collection of iconic Sicilian places.

Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaWhat does Rica Taormina Scented Candle smell like?
Sweet citrus — bright Sicilian lemon and bergamot up front, lifted by sea breeze and orange blossom, settling into a soft, warm, sweet base. It's fresh and luminous rather than sharp or acidic. The kind of citrus that smells like sunshine rather than cleaning products.
How long does Rica Taormina Scented Candle burn?
Typically 30-40 hours for a 160g candle with proper wick care. Trim the wick to 5mm before each burn, allow the wax to fully pool on the first use, and burn away from draughts to maximise the life of the candle.
Is Rica Taormina the best candle from the collection to give as a gift?
For a confident gift when you're unsure of someone's fragrance preferences, yes — Taormina is the most universally loved of the three. Fresh citrus is one of the most broadly appealing fragrance families and the Sicilian story behind it makes it more memorable than a generic candle.
What room is Rica Taormina Scented Candle best suited to?
Kitchen, bathroom, or any bright, sun-facing space — the fresh citrus character lifts and energises rather than settles and warms, which makes it particularly effective during the day and in smaller functional spaces. It's also excellent in a hallway as a welcoming first scent.
What's the keepsake vessel like on the Rica Taormina candle?
A considered vessel designed to be kept and repurposed after the candle burns down — as a storage jar, desk organiser, plant pot, or simply kept on a shelf for its own aesthetic value. Part of what makes Rica candles feel like a genuine keepsake rather than a disposable purchase.
