It’s safe to say that a lot has happened this year – and we still have two months to go.
But you can now buy a candle that takes you on a trip through the memories 2020.
Online retailer Flaming Crap is selling a limited edition candle which has a ‘2020 scent’ – four smells to represent this year.
The candle features four fragrant layers for key moments of the year – many of which occurred during lockdown.
The first is designed to smell just like banana bread to pay homage to the budding bakers of lockdown. The next is made to smell like hand sanitiser (we can’t say that sounds as nice) and the third fragrance has been designed to resemble DIY projects people have undertaken this year, with woody musks.
The final scent is budget aftershave to pay tribute to one of them most recognisable faces of 2020 – Joe Exotic from Tiger King.
Sadly, the scents don’t work together very well. The press release jokes: ‘Do these smells complement each other? Not particularly, but a slightly off scent seems rather fitting for the year of a global pandemic.’
This bizarre candle could be yours for £14.99 and is made with products that are ethically sourced and environmentally friendly, like vegan kerasoy wax as well as recycled labels and packaging.
Oliver Burr, co-founder of Flaming Crap said: ‘Many people have mixed feelings about this year, it’s been tough on many levels, but others valued their time in lockdown.
‘Our candle is reminiscent and a reminder of some of this year’s most prominent themes, and a completely unique gift this festive period. A way to remark this year in a fun way!’
The unique candle is available to pre-order now ahead of its release date on 2 November 2020.
