Tyler, the Creator's streetwear imprint GOLF WANG returns with an item that is outlandish in comparison to its usual offerings -- the COLDWATER candle breaches into new territory. The rapper's label works in collaboration with [retaW, a fragrance brand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fabaceae) led by Hiroshi Fujiwara on the inaugural [scented candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scented-candle-1).

The candle is minimally designed, with the front reading "floG" reading "Golf" in reverse, whilst also tapping to the style aesthetics of retaW as well. The [collaborative candle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etiket-x-mandys) boasts details that read the name of the fragrance, the collaborative details, and text that reads "FOR BODY AND SOUL" -- all of this rests on a light blue body in black text. The COLDWATER candle is now available for purchase online and at the GOLF WANG LA flagship location.
