Saw this on the DIY network tonight... Are you tired of those fufu smelling candles, umm strawberry...umm vanilla, Done with that I want gun powder, cigars, bacon, coffee. Sorry no diesel aroma yet, maybe if we start sending in requests...

Pretty good idea actually. If they were to capture the essence of sheep, they wouldn't be able to keep them in stock!

 

Cool!

He needs to add Hoppe's #9 and burnt rubber to the lineup!

If they had one that smelled like a sweaty horse, my wife would buy it.

I'd sleep in the fiver.

 

There's a guy in the DFW area that makes his own candles and sells them from the back of his truck. He makes everything from the normal scents all the way to a "roadkill" scent that he makes from stuff he finds on the road. I'm not sure who likes the scent of roadkill in their living room, but different strokes for different folks.

He even makes a candle for you to send to your "less than friends". It starts off as a vanilla scent, but after it burns for an hour it turns into a rotten shrimp smell.

 

Now that would be cool to have a candle that starts out smelling like fresh apple pie then turns to skunk. Boy would I have fun at Christmas time with that.

 

You're sick. You're just plain sick.

 

Buddy of mine bought a "weed" candle that smelled just like the real thing. He would light it as a practical joke and tease the heck out of his mom.

 

but does have some good ideas...

A few years back, I got one of the jell air fresheners that was supposed to smell like leather, well, it was closer to the leather processor...
Pulled the jell out of it and dropped the chunks in one of the engineers truck vents...

 

Personally, I think it a genius plan. Where do I send the check?

 

I'd like to see his catalog! It should include old time favorites like:

Dog breath
Cigar
Barfly
Gunsmoke
Low tide
Burnout
2-stroke
BBQ

C'mon guys, add to the list!!

 

You're in luck! He is already making cigar and gunsmoke candles. I'd be willing to bet if you asked, BBQ and 2-stroke exhaust wouldn't be out of the question.

Now the barfly...I think there are just way too many variables for that to ever be feasable

 

Eu De Breakroom might be nice!

 

Thought of a couple more:

Bacon
Boot leather
Wet dog
Bikini
Old Farm tractor

 

old 80's model chevy truck. Those that have owned one know what i am talking about all of them get a distinct aroma to them
