Going Home for the Holidays with Madison
The holidays are all about coming together with friends and family...In true ACC fashion, we asked, "What does that smell like?" 🤔
To help answer that question, we partnered with a dear friend and are excited to celebrate a brand NEW candle, Home for the Holidays, created in collaboration with the wonderful Madison Vining (@madisonviningblog)!
Have you met Madison? She's a busy mama in a house full of kiddos and wife to her middle school sweetheart. 🥰 She is passionate about family, and truly knows how to make a house feel like a home. We first connected with Madison through her heartfelt stories about family life on her Oklahoma farm. Her love for creating inviting spaces and her commitment to using natural products perfectly align with what we believe in.
When we started this adventure with Madison, she wanted to capture that cozy feeling of coming home at Christmas. "I had in mind what I wanted it to smell like, and that is the feeling of coming home to a place that is your soft place to land, where you're accepted and loved without question." 🎄
We knew we needed something that just felt like CHRISTMAS with warm, woodsy notes and a touch of fresh fruit. After trying out a few blends, Madison instantly fell in love with Home for the Holidays. Imagine a
- TOP: orange peel + sweet citrus
- MIDDLE: red apple, holly berry, eucalyptus, + pine
- BOTTOM: balsam fir, cedar, sandalwood, + musk
The end result? A fragrance that feels like a warm hug, full of happy memories and the joy of making new ones together. Madison's heart shines through in this collaboration. 🤗
THIS CANDLE IS AVAILABLE NOW! We can’t wait for you to light up your own Home for the Holidays candle.
We sent Madison's candle to dozens of @madisonviningblog and Antique Candle Co.® peeps to test her scent before launch day. Here's what some real testers had to say:
"Made me smile every time I burned it. Just smells so cozy and clean!"
"My favorite...It's a very "woodsy walk" type scent. Gives leaves, a cup of tea, and pine forest vibes. A bit of mountain air and light citrus really rounds it out without being too masculine or musky!"
"My entire house smelled wonderful and we have a 3,800 square foot home!"
"Just the perfect amount of fragrance in my room, it wasn't over powering or too strong. I could defiantly smell the citrus and the pine in this one!"
Home for the Holidays by Madison Vining is officially here. (PSST...You can also smell it in the Monthly Candle Box!) In the meantime, what does "Home for the Holidays" mean to you? 👇
