Eau de Little Dude

Maybe it is just me, but buying scented candles is a HUGE process. I spend wasted minutes sniffing various scents until I can no longer distinguish vanilla lemon, from midnight summer, to pineapple-cilantro. I always find I go back to my old favorites, Yankee Candle's "Clean Cotton" and Colonial Candle's "Thai Silk." I often ponder who comes up with the scents and the names. I am certain it is a lot of trial and error.

While at the gym yesterday, I saw a quick snip it of Regis & Kelly. Anderson Cooper was filling in for Regis and was talking about a scented candle he recently saw featured in the NY Daily News. It seems, White Castle Burgers now has its own "flame broiled" scented candle and is quite popular. I do not know about you, but the scent of grease, burger and pickles is not one I want permeating throughout my house. Evidently, this scent appeals to the men folk.

This got me thinking...

Leather, Sandalwood, Balsam are all VERY masculine scents and readily available. I thought perhaps I ought to introduce a scent that is very appealing in its own way "Little Dude Smell." It could be packaged with a cool name like "Rugged Tyke" or "Daring Dirtball." This would not be a hard scent to create as it is pretty universal. I would even use my Little Dudes for the label.


It would be hard to resist!
