The Homesick Olipop Orange Cream Candle is Sweet, Summery & Nostalgic

— August 29, 2025 — Marketing
Homesick was inspired by the citrus and vanilla cream notes in Olipop's Orange Cream, and teamed up with the prebiotic soda brand to create the Olipop Orange Cream Candle. This limited-edition collaboration candle captures the carefree joy of summer afternoons and brings back memories of sticky fingers, smiles, and running through sprinklers. Bright top notes of tangerine and mandarin burst first, instantly creating an uplifting and juicy opening. A heart of silky cream and warm vanilla follows before the base settles into a fizzy, sugary finish—effervescent and sweet—like the last refreshing sip of a creamsicle soda.

For candle lovers who want more soda-inspired scents, or smaller candles, Homesick also dropped the Olipop Variety Pack, a four-pack of votive candles with Classic Grape, Strawberry Vanilla, Classic Root Beer and Cream Soda scents.
