You know that smell when you walk into Mama’s kitchen and immediately know something good is happening? That’s Ya Mama’s Cookin’.
Inspired by the New Orleans tradition of “makin’ groceries,” this candle captures the whole ritual — the neighborhood market, the brown paper grocery bag, fresh bread on the counter, and something sweet baking in the kitchen.
Ya Mama’s Cookin’ blends warm baked goods, fresh fruit, and rich Southern sweetness into a cozy fragrance that makes the whole house feel a little more like home.
✨ SCENT PROFILE
• Fresh Baked Bread — warm, comforting & inviting
• Cinnamon Sugar — sweet, spiced & nostalgic
• Pecan Pie — rich, buttery & delicious
• Honey — smooth golden sweetness
• Fresh Apples — crisp, juicy & bright
• Crème Brûlée — creamy, caramelized & indulgent
Warm • Nostalgic • Sweet • Comforting
Hand-poured in New Orleans in small batches using our vegan coco-soy wax blend for a clean, long-lasting burn and beautiful scent throw.
This is the candle for Sunday suppers, family kitchens, homesick New Orleanians, and anybody who believes the best smell in the world is walking through the door and realizing Ya Mama’s Cookin’. ⚜️
Light it. Get comfortable. You’re home.
JARS & SIZING:
For over five years, Novel Nola has been dedicated to recycling every piece of glass we can get our hands on. Our glass storage facility has become overgrown as we’ve welcomed countless locals to drop off their glass, reusable packaging, and materials, fostering a community committed to sustainability.
For this reason, we have decided to update our inventory to exclusively use upcycled vessels for our candles. These jars are donated to us by our local community and hand-cleaned by us!
Please note: Listing photos are just an example of products and sizes. Jar shapes, sizes, colors, etc. will vary. Not all jars may have lids. Every jar will be selected at random in the size range you choose. If you have a certain color in mind or would like a lid, please let us know in the notes at checkout, and we will do our best to accommodate. Every candle is unique and handmade with love.
With each order you place with Novel, you are helping us give back to our beloved community.
GIFT IDEA:
