There’s something instantly familiar about the scent of a freshly cracked Diet Coke – crisp, clean, and just a little sweet. It’s the kind of smell that’s woven into everyday life for millions of people. Now, 716 Candle Co. has captured that iconic cola scent and poured it into an actual upcycled Diet Coke can, so you can enjoy it all day long without reaching into the fridge.

Our Diet Coke soy candle is hand-poured in Buffalo, NY using 100% soy wax and premium fragrance oil – and yes, it smells just like the real thing.


What Does the Diet Coke Soy Candle Smell Like?

Our Diet Coke candle is scented with a classic cola fragrance — that bright, slightly sweet, subtly caramel-tinged scent that Coke lovers know by heart. It’s light enough to fill a room without being overpowering, and just distinctive enough that anyone who walks in will do a double-take wondering if someone cracked open a cold one.

We use premium fragrance oils that meet strict safety and purity standards to nail that soda scent as accurately as possible.


What’s in the Candle?

Every Diet Coke candle from 716 Candle Co. is made with quality materials that make a real difference:

  • 100% American soy wax – cleaner burning and longer lasting than paraffin
  • Natural cotton wick – for an even, steady flame
  • 9–11 oz of soy wax – a seriously substantial candle
  • 40+ hour burn time – long-lasting cola vibes
  • Upcycled Diet Coke can – eco-friendly, zero waste, and totally display-worthy
  • Hand-poured in Buffalo, NY – small batch, made with pride in the 716

The Perfect Gift for Diet Coke Lovers

Know someone who can’t start their day without a Diet Coke? This candle is the gift they didn’t know they needed. It’s the kind of thing that makes people say “wait – that’s a candle?!” and immediately demand to smell it. Perfect for birthdays, holidays, office desks, dorm rooms, or just treating yourself to something fun.

Pair it with our Dr Pepper candle or Mountain Dew Baja Blast candle for the ultimate soda lover gift set.


Why Soy Wax?

We only use 100% American-grown soy wax because it burns cleaner, lasts longer, and is better for the environment than paraffin. Paraffin candles release petroleum-based soot – soy candles don’t. Want to learn more? Check out our full guide on the advantages of soy candles.
