I am not cashing in my few RRSPs and investing in this.
My wife puts "smelly" stuff in closets and burns candles around the house. ("We are having company and I want it to smell nice.") It's a house for heaven's sake and we are reasonably clean folks. WTF is it supposed to smell like? Most of this damn stuff would gag a maggot. Bah. ☺
Nothing beats the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee...okay, maybe cinnamon buns or roast turkey.
Clive, I bake cranberry orange muffins for the same effect. Using a rasp on the peel of several oranges makes the kitchen smell better than any citrus-scented candle would. Plus I get bonus points for the muffins.
I rather like the odor that comes with hubby's duffel bag of mining gear! Smells like underground,and some tart metallics..to me it is the sweet smell of a really honest HARD WORKING,wage earner that has provided so well for our home,our life-style..and he never complains,just loves the work.
The best smells are the ones I make myself: cutting the lawn, cutting down a tree (combination forest, cut wood, chain saw exhaust).
Even "cutting the cheese" ain't so bad when I do it myself! LOL!
BTW, 31% of candle market share are men. I assume this is very close to the % of liberal men.
I can't think of anything more gay. (not that there's anything wrong with that).
"I kid the homosexuals a lot, cause they're homosexuals.
I, I **** with everybody, I don't give a ****.
It's like um, I don't mean anything by it.
You can hang out with a gay person. You can guys
Don't feel, you know like alienated gay people 'cause they're gay.
'Cause you can play tennis with a gay person.
Really, just after the game you say
"I'm gonna get a beer, what you gonna do?"
"I think I'll go suck somebody's d***."
"Well, I'll see you later. Take it easy.
You go suck that dick. I'm gonna have the beer.""
Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

I worked for awhile in a sawmill, 5 years. 2 x 4 sounds like it'd be good for me.
PPPPHHHLOOOT-OOOT-WHOOT-PHWEEEZZZ-ptttt....aahhhh!
pardon me!
Not likely a best seller. Dang!
The real winners are still out there: branding singe, cold start diesel, corn silage, tire shop, wet dog, dusty rain, morning coffee, 60xx stick weld, melting snow, grain dust, drilling mud, blown capacitor, cutting oil, hot brakes ... etc.
didn't read it but the smell of pumpkin pie and/or vanilla is the ticket for me and yes I'm still a slave to my stomach at middle age, why do you ask?
Oz...LOL. Sounds like a recipe for hunger pangs to me.
How about candles with gunpowder scent?
This sounds more like candles for the metrosexual cave than the man cave, now if they had one that smelled like Hoppe's gun oil...
The punkin' pie sounds shagadelic to me.
Ummm...no. Just...no.
For that Beta Male in your life.
I can imagine that the bacon-scented ones have their use, subversive and otherwise...
I just open my hockey bag.
Works like a charm.

What, no campfire or WD40?

Precisely....fresh baked bread....raw garlic....
Cordite and wet dog would be excellant X-wife repellant....

BTW,I'm watching the presser with the 'entitled brats' in Que.just now,and wondering what smell they have?

"Scented candles for men."
Oh dear.
(Quickly averts eyes.)

IMO
The problem with candles isn't the smell, it's the useless candle itself when there is a perfectly good lamp or light switch close by.
Personally, I don't think I could be friends with, or take seriously, a man who uses candles 'just because'.
All of that said, if you're going to make scented candles for men, I'd recommend: steak or bacon.

Hhhhmmmm.... do I want the room to smell like "Sawdust Afternoon" or "New Car"?
Decisions, decisions....
A nice barn aroma always turns them on.
