Candier x Fruit Riot! NYC Picnic

This summer, we celebrated our Candier x Fruit Riot! candle collab with the sweetest launch event yet,  a vibrant NYC picnic. Inspired by our fave frozen treat, the collab celebrated bold aesthetics, juicy fragrance, and carefree summer vibes.

The gorgeous picnic, styled by Picnic in Bloom, was filled with bright colors, fruity décor, and plenty of yummy summer snacks. It set the stage for the launch of our limited-edition Fruit Riot candle, which captures the tangy, playful essence of the brand’s iconic sour grape treats.

Guests got the first sniff of our collab candle, fruity, sweet, and summery, while enjoying everything from fizzy fruit sodas to candy-core desserts. Influencers and friends of the brand shared their first impressions (spoiler: they loved it), and we captured it all on TikTok with our new Candier pink microphone interviews.

The event wasn’t just about launching a candle; it was about building community. Fruit Riot has always been about celebrating boldness and flavor, and Candier believes fragrance should feel just as fun and fearless. Together, we created a space where guests could connect, snack, and discover how food scented candles can bring the same joy as your favorite candy.

What our team said:

“The Fruit Riot collab is one that I have been waiting for since they first reached out! The set-up was perfect, shout out to Picnic In Bloom, the content was to die for and the candle…WOW! Stole the show!”

Abby:

“Our entire social team constantly talks about all of the new Fruit Riot we are trying and loving, so needless to say we were super excited for this collab and event! The aesthetic of the picnic was filled with bright colors, just like our candle! We loved sharing this limited edition candle with each of the influencers who came and finding out what they thought of their first sniff!"

What is Fruit Riot?

Fruit Riot is the viral snack that everyone’s obsessed with. Imagine freshly frozen fruit like grapes, mango, or pineapple splashed with lemon juice, then coated in a tangy sour-candy crunch. It’s bold, juicy, and fun, just like Candier. Each serving is around 45 calories, gluten-free, and made without synthetic colors, the perfect mix of real fruit and unreal flavor. No wonder it inspired one of our sweetest collabs yet.
