Too much of a good thing might apply in certain corners of life (you know your vices), but when it comes to Heated Rivalry merch, there’s no such thing as too much. From Airbnb recreations to vinyl drops and now the return of a candle that nearly broke the internet, the appetite for all things Shane and Ilya is only getting bigger.

Cult-favorite brand Literie just announced a restock of its “I’m Coming to the Cottage” candle that you can now pre-order online. Previously released in January, the initial run of 1,000 units sold out almost instantly, and now it’s back for round two, with shipping slated for early April. If you’re even thinking about it, don’t wait.

$48.00

Ships in early April.

Inspired by Heated Rivalry, which quickly went from a TV show to a full-blown cultural fixation, the scent channels the soothing calm of the Canadian wilderness without requiring a flight north. Retailing at $48, the candle features a clean, crisp scent and a burn time of roughly 50 hours, outlasting many competitors that tap out closer to 40. Like the rest of Literie’s lineup, it’s handcrafted in the U.S., with notes strong enough to fill a room without overwhelming it.

Part of the frenzy comes from those who got in early. Reviews from the first drop were glowing, with buyers praising everything from the smell to the packaging. And honestly, the hype tracks — Literie has built a reputation for candles that punch above their price point, delivering a luxury feel without veering into the $500 territory some high-end brands now flirt with. For newcomers, there’s even a 10% discount with the code BONUS10.

Design-wise, the candle keeps things understated. The product itself is minimal enough to blend into just about any space, while the box nods subtly to the rustic location seen on the show.

If you can’t make it to Muskoka anytime soon, this is probably the closest you’ll get. And if you are planning the trek, there’s even a matching air freshener to tag along for the drive. Either way, don’t be surprised if this restock disappears just as fast as the first.
