Noah’s Collegiate Candle & Wax Melt Collection

This Limited Edition Collection was created to support one of our own, Noah Chronister, as he begins his studies in Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University.

Noah intentionally created each recipe,  thoughtfully inspired by iconic Penn State traditions and landmarks that have shaped generations of students, from late-night visits to The Creamery and fall football Saturdays in Happy Valley to the enduring legacy of the Lion Shrine and Old Main. Each aroma is available in candles & wax melts made with a coconut wax blend, essential oils, and botanical extracts. 

100% of every purchase directly supports Noah’s educational expenses as he pursues his dream of becoming an engineer.

Thank you for helping us encourage, support, and invest in the next chapter of his story.

 With gratitude,
The Olive Branch Team

THE CREAMERY

Few places on campus hold as many memories as The Creamery. From celebrating the first week of classes to late-night ice cream runs with friends, it’s a Penn State tradition that has welcomed generations of students into the heart of Happy Valley.

Inspired by the rich, homemade flavors that made The Creamery legendary, this candle blends notes of sweet vanilla bean, buttercream, caramelized crème brûlée, and fresh strawberries folded into rich cream. Warm hints of maple, sugar, and a touch of bourbon create a fragrance that is both nostalgic and indulgent—like your favorite scoop enjoyed on a summer evening.

Light The Creamery and be transported to the sights, sounds, and traditions of Penn State’s most iconic sweet spot.

TAILGATE

There’s nothing quite like a fall Saturday in Happy Valley.

The air is crisp, the parking lots are full before sunrise, grills are firing up across campus, and a sea of blue and white gathers in anticipation of game day. Friends become family, traditions come alive, and for a few unforgettable hours, the entire community comes together with one shared purpose: cheering on the Nittany Lions.

Tailgate captures the heart of that iconic Penn State experience with the aroma of freshly picked Pennsylvania apples, warm cinnamon spice, and the unmistakable scent of a crackling fireside gathering. Notes of apple harvest, clove, nutmeg, and cedarwood blend seamlessly with smoky woods, amber, sandalwood, and rich cinnamon bark to create a fragrance that feels like autumn in Happy Valley.

LION SHRINE

Standing proudly at the heart of campus, the Nittany Lion Shrine is more than a landmark:  a symbol of strength, perseverance, tradition, and Penn State pride. For generations of students, alumni, and visitors, a visit to the Lion Shrine marks the beginning of lifelong memories made in Happy Valley.

Lion Shrine captures the timeless spirit of Penn State with a fragrance that is bold, warm, and enduring. Rich notes of teakwood, leather, and tobacco leaf create a strong foundation, while smoky fireside woods, amber, sandalwood, and clove add depth and character. A touch of creamy vanilla softens the blend, bringing warmth and familiarity to this sophisticated scent.

The result is an aroma that feels both rugged and refined: much like the enduring legacy of the Nittany Lion itself. Whether displayed in a dorm room, office, or home, Lion Shrine serves as a reminder of where you’ve been and the journey still ahead.

OLD MAIN

For generations, Old Main has stood as the heart of the university: symbol of history, tradition, and the pursuit of knowledge. Its iconic bell tower watches over campus as students arrive full of anticipation and leave equipped to change the world. It is a place that reminds us that every great journey begins with a single step and every achievement is built upon a strong foundation.

Old Main is an aroma worthy of that legacy. Sophisticated and timeless, it opens with notes of amaretto and warm spice before unfolding into rich teakwood, leather, tonka bean, and balsam. Hints of tobacco leaf, sandalwood, amber, and sweet vanilla create depth and warmth, while touches of musk and oud add an unmistakable sense of refinement.

The result is a distinguished aroma that feels both historic and modern: capturing the spirit of the buildings, traditions, and aspirations that have shaped generations of Penn State students.

Whether you’re a current student, proud alumnus, or devoted fan, Old Main invites you to pause and reflect on the experiences, friendships, and lessons that make Happy Valley unforgettable.
