With the
release in the USA of two additional candles to the Man Candle range, I thought
it was time for a little retrospective look at what has appeared so far and
what they are all about.
I suppose
Man Candles are designed to appeal to men who would normally shy away from
scented candles (ahh, they don’t know what they’re missing) but they are really
for everyone.
The thing I
have found enticing and appealing about this range is that Yankee Candle have
really pushed the boat out with them. By that I mean a lot of the candles in
the main range are safe bets in that they are tweaks on existing themes – you
might get a new floral, or a new fruit twist or a few different notes in a
fresh fragrance. Fab as the new creations are and obviously designed to appeal
to the big market – Man Candles break the mould (well, almost!)
Yankee
Candle chandlers must have had an absolute blast concocting this range.
Anything goes as long as it’s masculine!
I think the
first ever Man Candle was 2X4
I’ve only
sniffed it once and it wasn’t for me. A heady aroma of sawdust and woodchip!
Man Town
Not sniffed
this one, but it is reportedly like a very masculine aftershave. I do regret not picking it up when it was widely available!
First Down
I adore this
one and I’ve covered it many times in my Yankee diary. It’s full on polished
leather, slighltly sweetened.
Riding Mower
Again only
sniffed this one once but it was a full on mown grass scent. A bit too heady
for me!
After a gap
of a few months two more candles appeared in the USA...
Movie Night
Supposedly
just like a bucket of popcorn!
MMM, Bacon!
I don’t ever
want to go near this one!
And in the
spring of 2014 two new Man Candles have appeared in the USA, no details as yet
as to what anyone thinks of them!
