They actually sell a freshly-mowed lawn one..I remember seeing it at the US Open a few years ago..was pretty spot on from what I remember.

I wouldn't buy a candle unless I was preparing for a blackout. It could smell like anything from steak to perfume to chocolate to pumpkin pie and I wouldn't buy it.

This thread reminded me of a ad in the lastest Maxim; they had this little cologne like ad for Forza 2.

When you peel back the right side of the page, just like you would for a cologne scent, you're treated to a smell that they described as "A Nissan Fairlady Z pulling away from the starting line on Pirelli tires inflated to 42PSI."

I couldn't stop smelling it.

Positive proof that there is a market. I think I'm on to something BIG...

Gunpowder
Fresh-cut pine (and a cloud of sawdust)

I wouldn't mind a woodshop smelling candle or one that smells like a campfire

I don't think many guys would buy them, but I think a ton of guys would get them for birthdays and father's day. Dibs on 1% of your gross for point this out.

I can see it now...

Saturday afternoon, the wife is out shopping. I crack open a cold beer and light up one of NuclearNed's scented candles. Freshly showered young maiden fragrance, I believe. I'm drifting off into a gentle fantasy- then suddenly my wife pulls into the garage, comes into the house, starts sniffing the air, and exclaims, "just what the hell is going on around here!"

;)

hehe, I wouldn't ever use any of those. I always buy a Vanilla scented candle every couple weeks or so. What I'd actually prefer is an actual Vanilla Plant, but I'd probably just kill it. :(

I had an idea sorta like this a while back. It was called a jump to conclusions mat... and it would have all these conclusions on it... that you could jump to.

BTW lul at the Top Gun scented candle from the ssite. I imagine it smells like a combination of jet fuel and hot jizz.

Bad idea. Guys won't be able to get over the concept of actually owning and using candles. I have a rooomate that uses candles, only because his cat's shit stinks like... shit. That's a legit reason, there are few others.

Can they all be boob-shaped candles? You know, for the asthetic side of the product.
