In a move that promises to make your tabletop gaming sessions smell slightly more like a post-nuclear paradise and significantly less like a shared flat in Croydon, Merchoid has launched a new trio of official Fallout candles.

The Fallout: Vault Dweller’s Scented Candle Set is now available for pre-order, designed to bring the olfactory essence of the Wasteland to your living room. Rather than opting for the more literal—and likely distressing—scents of radioactive rot or Mirelurk musk, the collection focuses on pre-war nostalgia and iconic in-game treats.
The set includes three distinct 65mm soy wax candles:
- Hot Apple Pie: A scent designed to evoke all-American comfort, presumably intended for those trying to ignore the Deathclaw scratching at the vault door.
- Nuka-Cola: Capturing the sweet, fizzy aroma of the Wasteland’s most famous radioactive beverage, thankfully without the +10 Rads.
- Sugar Bombs: A heavy hit of sugary breakfast cereal nostalgia, a staple for any survivor’s morning routine.
This launch follows a flurry of Fallout brand expansions in the UK, including the recent arrival of themed meal replacements from yfood in high street supermarkets. While some fans on platforms like Reddit have expressed scepticism over “geek candles” – often comparing the actual scents to generic body sprays – the appeal here lies firmly in the immersion. For a Fallout 2d20 game master, lighting a Nuka-Cola candle during a tense negotiation at a trading post is exactly the kind of sensory detail that elevates a campaign.



The set is priced at £19.99 and is expected to ship in June 2026. Given the speed at which official Bethesda merchandise tends to vanish into the inventories of collectors, those looking to secure a set for their next roleplaying night may want to move faster than a Ghoul in a dark alley.
