We're not big scented candle burners as a group, we men. I don't think it's that we have anything against the flame, per se. I think it's more a matter of the choices we've got in scented candles. Among the sea of fragrances like Rose Petals in the Rain, Seaside Enchantment, and Candied Lemon Fig, we get to chose from maybe one or two smells we wouldn't mind permeating our place. And it typically runs in the vanilla family. Or maybe a "spice".

Not anymore. Over at Hotwicks.com they've concocted a series of eight candles any guy would be proud to have smelling up his place. The 8-ounce tins contain burnable scents like Beer, Pigskin, Campfire, Grass and Coffee. You'll never again have to choose between your masculinity and masking odors with Petunia Paradise.

There's also a few unusual fragrances included in the line. Hippie smells like your favorite bong filler, and according to Hotwicks is "a great gift for your favorite stoner, college student, or one of those wookie looking dudes that wanders around concert parking lots selling bean burritos and hemp necklaces." Right on, dude.

My personal favorite is Stripper, their "alibi and candle all in one." Smelling like "the perfume counter at the department store times a thousand" with a little glitter added in (anyone know what glitter smells like?), your girl will never know if you took home a drunken pole spinner (or two), or you're just burning your favorite candle.

Then there's the Urinal Cake candle. Ever wanted your personal bathroom to have that same sharp, chemical smell of the public restrooms at the stadium? Me either. But you can if you want to. It'll add a new level of authenticity to game day parties at your place.
