Mabon Soy Wax Candle – McIntosh, Granny Smith, Apple Pie & Harvest Spices
The Mabon Soy Wax Candle is a hand-poured natural soy candle scented with McIntosh apples, Granny Smith apples, fresh-baked apple pie, and warm harvest spices, Brigid Trading Company's tribute to the Autumn Equinox.
Light the Mabon Soy Wax Candle when the first cold mornings arrive and the orchards start dropping their fruit. McIntosh leads with red-apple juice and sweetness, Granny Smith brings the green-skinned tartness behind it, apple pie warms through with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugared vanilla, and harvest spices like clove, ginge and allspice to round it out. A gourmand fragrance without being a sweet, cloying cupcake scent.
It is, plainly, our most autumnal fragrance, the one people come back for regardless of the season. Indulge in a natural candle experience.

What Is Mabon?
One of the ancient holidays on the Wheel of the Year, Mabon marks the Autumnal Equinox, a moment when day and night are in perfect balance and the sun hangs midway between its highest and lowest points. This sacred seasonal festival celebrates reflection, gratitude, and the turning of the seasons.
Mabon is also the time of the High Harvest, when the year’s labors yield abundance. Apples are ripe, fields are full, and the bounty of the harvest is ready to be gathered. As the crisp chill of winter approaches, Mabon reminds us to honor the cycles of nature, savor the fruits of our efforts, and prepare for the coming colder months.
