I was interested in how Homesick Candles would scent the New Jersey candle.
Have you ever driven through Elizabeth, New Jersey on the turnpike? Your passengers asleep in the back seat wake up thinking they’ve sharted in their sleep.
Turns out, though, they scented the candle to smell like the Jersey Shore, which, by my reckoning, should smell like a melange of Drakkar Noir, clam sauce and hair gel.
The New York candle is scented like hints of Adirondacks forest floor, apple orchards, and pumpkin, which is much better than my memory of transmission fluid, steaming manhole cover, burning chestnuts and urine.
The Florida candle scent includes a hint of orange, a touch of sea mist, and a bit of driftwood, which is a departure from the real scent of Florida – hard peppermint candy and Absorbine Jr.
Homesick Candles says the Nevada candle is reminiscent of the smells of desert air, cactus, sage, and denim cloth. Which is nothing like the actual smell – vape mist, sewer gas, loan sharks and Elvis impersonators.
What’s your home state smell like?
For California, it would have to be the smell of pinto beans being defecated the next morning.
Try the East River Eucalyptus.
Or not…
The aroma of Tacoma: pulp mills.
The battle of Seattle: hippies.
You’re killing me BigFurHat! LOL!
Kentucky Rain?
The wisp of Washington: Amazon boxes
From what my cousins describe to me, Spokane would smell like deer poop, meth, and dead dreams.
Light any scented candle in my house and I’ll literally be home, sick.
Illinois:
Earth from plowed corn fields, manure from feed lots, gunpowder and squalor of Chicago, leaves of the Shawnee Nat’l Forrest and the over-powering scent of Political Corruption from Springfield.
Ohio – iron ore smelting or the inside of a moldy old mail delivery bag
NC – pit cooked barbecue, hush puppies and vinegar cole slaw
Western Washington: mold.
Alabama: automobile rust (credit: Harvey at IMAO).
Colorado candle contains real marijiwana!
Southern Illinois: oil wells and meth labs
Ferguson: Body Odor eue de toilet
from all the Hands Up.
DC smells like Mooch’s unshaven manly armpits
The Chappaqua candle has the scent of corruption, sex, and failure.
All in the shape of a private email server.
South side Chicago: Feet, jheri curl, and burning car with a hint of gunpowder.
Eastern Washington: road kill.
BFH… Thank you so much for the hardy LAUGH! 😀
D.C. pre-Trump smells like: SWAMP
“The aroma of Tacoma: pulp mills.”
Oh gaaah! I remember that. It is one of my top 3 worst smells I’ve ever smelled in my life.
Elizabeth NJ.

Too many different aromas for Texas – the state’s so big it’s hard to choose one. But if I had to, I’d pick the smell of Austin Liberals whining and fouling themselves in the morning.
Smells like…Victory.
😉
Pennsylvania: Manure spread on the fields, the acrid smell coming from the linoleum plant, and if the wind is blowing just right, the fragrant stench from the pulp mill.
Jimmie – – the good thing about the “aroma of Tacoma” is that it made Bruce Springsteen sick.
Muslim towns: Raw sewage, decomposing animals, rotten garbage, gag inducing body odors, and welfare fraud.
Blue states all have a strong hint of liberal fear. . . smells really sweet.
NW Wisconsin: Fresh air.
California: Cow farts, KY lube, and shame.
And just for the Progs parents missing the 30 yo who finally moved out of the basement.
Musty mold, sweaty tee shirts, empty beer bottles, dirty bong water, Cheetos and a hint of teen spirit.
My area of Georgia smells like fresh turned peanuts and axle grease.
I wonder if the Oregon candle smells like a beaver….
TEXAS: The Houston Ship Channel along 225 in Pasadena.
You get that unique blend of man-made aromas created by the world’s most concentrated aggregation of refineries and petrochemical plants. Xylene, hexane, methane, butadiene, complex polymers and just a hint of warm crude oil, all combined upon the gentle, southerly, Gulf Coast sea breeze! The combine in subtle ways to create a unique chemical cocktail smell that evokes both the age of industry and the nostalgia of an oil-soaked wooden derrick, spewing a geyser of pure black gold from beneath Texas soil!
@Sarthurk Only Northern Oregon smell like Beaver. From the central part on down smells like Duck feathers!
It depends on the season
Spring: Dead skunk on a highways, fresh earth in the country
Summer: Suntan oil from all the tourist and dead fish from the wash ups
Fall: It’s called Dairy Aire
Winter: Wood smoke and unburned gasoline from snowmobiles
aleon – which part? ‘Cause the smell of the WLSSD drifting across from Duluth, well, it ain’t like no fresh air to me.
The rest of WI? Beer and brats, preferably before they’re eaten.
Western WA: Coffee and sweaty bicycle jerseys
Eastern WA: Wildfires and apples
“Homesick Candles says the Nevada candle is reminiscent of the smells of desert air, cactus, sage, and denim cloth. Which is nothing like the actual smell – vape mist, sewer gas, loan sharks and Elvis impersonators.” HEY! That’s only the southern California portion of the state!
Which is easier, these or Weiner jokes?
Chappaqua scented candles smell like scented cankles.
I’m betting “New Jersey” is not going to be a bestseller.
Just sayin’.
New Jersey will be a wick stuck in a dried turd.
Chappaquiddick Island, Mass.
Oldsmobiles, coverup, oil on the water, drowned bodies and old money.
Akron Ohio’s smells like meth labs and crack smoke.
Holmes County Ohio’s smells like road apples and Amish feet in the summertime.
Western Texas: Sulfur. (That can’t be low sulfur crude comin’ outta there.)
for california, need a candle that smells like mexican food
What happened to Montana? Did they just figure that it smelled the same as WY, and that’s why it sold out?
Battle Creek, MI back in High School in spring with windows open: Kellogg’s cereal and Ralston Purina Dog Chow. So bad it made our eyes water.
But in the country it was pine and apples.
North Texas
Wildflowers, earth, strong element of mesquite and BBQ ribs, and a hint of gun powder.
No thanks. I live in Wisconsin and the smell of cow shit is free
Oregon: Marijuana on the vine. Also smells like skunk. Cant drive 5 miles in the outback without being overpowered by the stench.
Psssshhh. Alabama smells like freshly mown wild onions, crushed Percocet, and overly clorinated above ground WalMart pools.
Georgia smells like oil slicked asphalt, chicken shit, and a Braves game.
