The It Midsummer Candle Is Here—Meet Mill’s Wicks Aguas Frescas Collection

A Cool-Girl Pick for the Squad Magazine Palm Springs Bachelorette Guide

By Squad Mag Style Team

Okay, bestie, let’s set the scene: it's 104°F in Palm Springs, you and the girls just got back from brunch, your cheeks are glowing (okay, sweating), and all you wanna do is chill in your Airbnb, sip on something icy, and blast Bad Bunny while snapping pics in cute robes. Now imagine the whole suite smelling like your fave childhood drink... Enter: The Aguas Frescas Collection by Mill’s Wicks.

This isn’t just another candle drop—it’s a vibe, a whole aesthetic, and a moment.

A Candle That Hits Like Summer Nostalgia

“When you think about summer, nostalgia brings up those days you spent in your childhood,” says Milly Lopez, the genius and Jefa behind Mill’s Wicks. “It’s hot, you want a cold drink. The Aguas Frescas candle collection reminds me of my mom making agua de Jamaica on a hot day.”

That memory? It's the inspo behind the entire Aguas Frescas Collection, a trio of candles that basically smell like your abuelita’s kitchen—but elevated for 2025 energy.

Let’s Talk Scents

Each candle is hand-poured into a clay vessel so cute you’ll wanna keep it forever (and you can—reusable, duh). The fragrances are a summer picnic in a jar:

• Agua de Jamaica – Floral, tart, and a little sweet. Smells like hibiscus dreams and childhood summers.

• Agua de Pepino – Cool, crisp cucumber with a splash of lime. It's giving spa day with the girls.

• Agua de Guayaba – Juicy, tropical, and flirty. Basically the candle equivalent of your go-to vacation drink.

  
  
  

  

  
  
  

Latina-Owned, Intentionally Made

Mill’s Wicks is 100% Latina-owned, and every candle is crafted with puro amor y intención. We're talking zero phthalates, all-natural soy wax, and no lead in the wicks. These babies are made to burn clean and bring meaning into your space.

Milly says it best: “When you light a candle, the wick holds a memory of how it burns. It knows where it left off.”

Yeah, same energy as your ex sliding back into your DMs—but way more wholesome.

Your Bachelorette in a Jar

Planning a Palm Springs bachelorette? These candles are the ultimate welcome gift for your bridal crew. Imagine handing out personalized vessels that smell like their fave summer drinks. Talk about main character energy.

Throw in matching silk PJs, a round of spicy margs, and your Spotify reggaetón playlist—and boom, you’ve got the ultimate hot girl summer starter pack.

Where to Snag One

The Aguas Frescas Collection is available now on Mill’s Wicks online shop. But act fast—these sell out quicker than front-row Karol G tickets.

So light it up, let the scent take you somewhere nostalgic and sun-soaked, and remember: summer isn’t just a season, it’s a state of mind—and it smells like agua de jamaica.
