P.F. Candle Co. teamed up with Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts crew to create the perfect cozy and nostalgic scents to fill your home with this fall. The collection celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Beagle Scouts, a scout group led by Snoopy in both the Peanuts comic strip and cartoon.
«Snoopy and the Peanuts gang are so iconic, so being able to join in on celebrating 50 years of Beagle Scouts felt like a great opportunity for us to bring our fragrance expertise into,» says Alex Tunno, the brand lead for P.F. Candle Co.
According to Tunno, the collection is inspired by activities featured on Beagle Scout camping trips: hiking, canoeing, and, of course, roasting marshmallows. «We worked with our fragrance houses to develop blends that represented the typical day of a Beagle Scout, what those moments smell like, and where they take place,» Tunno says.
The 7.2-ounce candles are made from 100% natural soy wax and are packaged in P.F. Candle Co.'s signature amber jars with brass lids. Each candle features a Kraft paper label (inspired by scout badges) that showcases Snoopy, Woodstock, and the other Beagle Scouts. For an added fun touch, Tunno says the three labels each feature Snoopy wearing a different hat: a ball cap while rafting, a ranger hat for s'mores, and a vintage-style fatigue hiking hat.

If you’re a fan of the quintessential indoor-outdoor Western lifestyle that comes along with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, a warm wash of natural light, breezeways that maximize airflow, and surrounding serene landscape, you can thank famed architect Cliff May. Regarded as the founding father of the iconic California ranch house, May’s work has been repeatedly published in Sunset since the 1930s. What made his work stand out at the time was how he designed homes not so much based on architecture but on the way people wanted to live in them. Making the most of the Western climate, his goal was to provide a closer relationship with nature through garden courtyards and blur the line between how we use interior and exterior spaces. May in turn created private sanctuaries where families could relax and enjoy a lifestyle of informal outdoor living. He invented the way most people want to live in the West, and his influence is felt throughout the region some 90 years later.
