I enjoy visiting candles shops sniff testing the different colored scented wax in shiny glass jars with beautiful photographic labels.  Then I got to thinking that there are familiar smells that are not so marketable, some scents don’t make the final cut. 

 

RANKEE CANDLES

Jalapeno Glow

(bright red)

The scent of fresh jalapenos and cheddar brings you back to the time you took that dare at the Mexican restaurant and regretted it

 

Ancient Citrus

(orange and fuzzy)

Enjoy the invigorating scent of blended citrus bound for the garbage can

 

Days of Old

(yellow, green and fuzzy)

The smell of old cheese inspires resourcefulness, as you know you can chop off the green parts and get on with life

Cleaning Day

(yellow, gray and black)

Spilt lemon mop soap mingles with dust and the scent of a smoking vacuum cleaner belt telling you progress is being made

 

Garlic Breath

(white with touch of green)

The pungent aroma of garlic with a touch of salt sure to repel vampires and people you may not want around

Garden Bean

(green)

The fresh smell of green beans straight from the garden as you pick them row after row, after row after row, after row…

 

Antique Loaf

This starling and disappointing scent reminds you that you should have eaten that loaf of bread sooner

The smell from the brown grocery bag full of bounty you leave anonymously at the doors of family and friends

 

Theater Floor

(multicolored red, green, yellow and brown)

Enjoy the drama and splendor of the big screen with the scent of jujubes, popcorn and Coca Cola spilled beneath you

 

Grape Sampler

This is the smell of grape jelly from those tiny hotel jelly portions, peel back the dainty plastic lid and experience the stickiness

 

Musty Library

The unmistakable smell of old books and damp basements brings back forgotten memories from student days

Amber Cloud

(light brown)

Appreciate again and again that masculine scent of cigar smoke and musk

 

Antique Banana
