Bridgewater Sweet Grace: What It Smells Like and the Candles We Carry

Bridgewater describes Sweet Grace this way: with exotic passion fruit, sparkling tea and classic patchouli, Sweet Grace is undeniably warm, peaceful and pure.

Bridgewater names three: passion fruit, tea and patchouli. The brand does not break the fragrance into top, middle and base notes, so neither do we.

Both, in balance. The passion fruit and sparkling tea read bright and sweet, and the classic patchouli underneath gives it the warmth Bridgewater calls warm, peaceful and pure.

Bridgewater's own description names fruit, tea and patchouli rather than florals. Some of our listings mention floral character, but the brand's wording is the one to go by.

Yes. It is not tied to a season, which is part of why it sells the way it does. Bridgewater also puts Sweet Grace into seasonal packaging for the holidays.

Our own Bridgewater listings call it the number one best-selling fragrance. It is warm without being heavy, and it works in a lot of different rooms.

No. Bridgewater makes a range of fragrances. The Bridgewater we carry at Accents is built around Sweet Grace, plus Christmas Bliss for the holidays.

Bridgewater says to let the wax pool reach all the way to the edge of the container every time you burn it, including the first time. The brand's rule of thumb is to multiply the candle's width in inches by two to estimate the hours needed.

Bridgewater says core jars typically need to burn for four to six hours at a time.

Yes. Bridgewater says wicks need to be kept at a healthy one quarter inch length, and should be trimmed prior to every burn, including the first one.

Bridgewater's guidance is that the wax pool needs to reach the edge of the container on each burn. If a candle is put out before that happens, the unmelted ring at the edge tends to stay.

Bridgewater says that when there is approximately one half inch of wax left in the bottom of the candle, it is time to stop burning.

Bridgewater's guidance is that burning below that point can let the container get hot enough to burn you or the surface the candle is sitting on.

Bridgewater says to keep a burning candle on an even, heat-resistant and sturdy surface, never to burn it near anything that can catch fire, to keep candles out of reach of children and pets, and never to leave them unattended.

Bridgewater does not publish instructions for reusing its jars, so we will not give you a method the brand has not approved. Once the candle is finished, let the glass cool completely before handling it.
