But men can fight back against all the fruity, floral scents of a woman. Use these candles that smell like a man. Wait... That's wrong. They don't smell like man. That would be bad. They are candles that men would like to smell. Yes, much better.
We call them "Mandles," but we obviously have way, way too much time on our hands.
"Manterns" has some amazingly man-friendly scents, like Maple Smoked Bacon and The BallPark; a blend of fresh air, cut grass and just a whiff of beer. The only thing missing is the crack of the bat.
5B and Co. Candlemakers have candles that smell like campfires, leather and even Kansas City Barbecue; the scent of beef brisket on a hickory smoker.
From a company with the vaguely unsettling name of HotWicks comes "The Stripper Candle. It's the bewitching scent of baby oil, perfume, body glitter and sweat. HotWicks also has a candle that smells like urinal cakes that's very popular in...Wait for it...Japan.
Finally, hipster druggist (Malin + Goetz) brings us the kindest candle of all. The Cannabis candle is raw genius. Perfect for teenagers who don't want to get caught smoking weed at home. Show it to mom and dad, and say someone gave it to you as a gag gift. Then light it a few times when you know the parents can smell it. Once they get used to the scent, you can blaze up any time you wanted. Dang! Where was this candle in the 80's!?
