Nostalgia offers a comforting escape and a warm, familiar feeling that brings back memories of simpler times and the joy of childhood moments, and General Mills x Homesick collection shares three candles with "ultra-nostalgic cereal scents."
Released for back-to-school season, these cereal-inspired candles help adults relive the days of their youth with cereal scents created in collaboration with General Mills. While The Charms Candle offers a grown-up take on Lucky Charms with a bright blend of apple, strawberry, anise, creamy coconut and buttery notes, finishing with warm vanilla caramel, the Cinnamilk Candle elevates the classic pairing of cinnamon and sugar with almond, apricot, ginger and crust. Completing the trio, the Honey Nut Candle opens with a top note of rice milk before venturing into comforting, classic almond, cinnamon and vanilla.
