At Living Good Candle Co., we don’t rush a scent. Nostalgic Fall took almost a year of samples, adjustments, and tests before we landed on the three that made the final collection. Here’s what’s inside, and how to get first access before it opens to everyone else.
We didn’t want to just recycle the usual pumpkin-and-cinnamon shortcuts. We wanted three scents that felt like fall as we’ve actually come to know it. Familiar, but a little unexpected. If you want the full story behind why, we wrote about it here.
Honeycrisp Apple: Crisp, Fresh, a ‘90s Classic
The first bite of fall. Bright, juicy apple with a crisp green edge. Sweet but not sugar, fresh but still cozy.
Notes: honeycrisp apple, crisp green top notes, sweet honey, light warm spice.
Cinnamon Roll: Warm, Bakery, Nostalgic
Warm cinnamon, sweet baked dough, and that just-our-of-the-oven comfort that pulls everyone into the kitchen. Cozy, a little indulgent, unmistakably home.
Notes: warm cinnamon, sweet baked dough, brown sugar, vanilla glaze.
Fig & Patchouli: Earth, Bohemian, Grounding
Ripe fig’s soft sweetness meets patchouli’s earthy depth. Warm, lived-in, a little unexpected. The quiet, moody side of fall.
Notes: ripe fig, dark patchouli, earthy musk, warm amber.
This one we’re especially proud of. Most fig scents lean on synthetic musk to round things out. We skipped that entirely and used real patchouli oil instead. It took longer to get right, but it’s worth it.
What’s Actually in These Candles
Every Nostalgic Fall candle starts with 100% American beeswax, sourced from a multigenerational beekeeper. We blend it with coconut oil and our own Plant Based Oils, the same honest approach behind every Living Good Candle. Clean burning, non-toxic, and safe around pets.
If you want the fuller picture of how we think about ingredients and what to actually look for in a beeswax candle, our buying guide walks through it in detail. And if safety around your family or pets is what you’re weighing, we’ve written honestly about that too, in Are Beeswax Candles Safe?
How to Get Early Access
Each scent is made in a limited batch. Nostalgic Fall opens to everyone on September 12, but if you join the waitlist now, you get first dibs two days early, on September 10. Joining is free, and it gets you early access to all three scents, not just one.
Join the Nostalgic Fall waitlist and get the first pick before the collection opens to everyone else.
