I might just need one: the Mac and Cheese candle from Southlake Gifts. "The Macaroni and Cheese Candle Bowl is perfect for those with carb cravings without finding the perfect recipe. This handmade macaroni and cheese candle comes in a porcelain bowl and smells just like the real thing. Take it home and wake up feeling cheesy!" $20 for 160g at Nordstrom.
The "transformative" blend, it added, includes notes of cedarwood and patchouli, "so every spritz takes you back to that well-loved bar top," and tobacco and leather, which are meant to evoke "the comforting musk of worn-in barstools." There are also notes of champaca blossom for "that crisp, refreshing aroma when the bartender cracks open The Champagne of Beers" and a little whisper of sea salt, "like the basket of fries you look forward to at the end of the night."
