This sculpted soy wax candle draws inspiration from [sour grape candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/itsugar-retro-sours). The brands strategically produced this design in an extremely limited quantity of only 100 units, ensuring the product appears as a collectible scarcity. The Candier x Fruit Riot Pucker Up Candle combines the brand's signature clean-scent formulation with playful molded wax grapes adorning the top of the candle. The food-inspired design sensibilities are enhanced by a bold neon label evoking [Y2K](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hanky-panky) aesthetics. The fragrance profile is built around tart lemon top notes that are balanced with sweet candy mid-notes and a warm vanilla and sugar base. Each unit is hand-poured in the United States. The candles are cruelty-free, phthalate-free, paraben-free, and lead-free.
