No, you're not seeing an ocean mirage: The Titanic-scented Candle features a tiny wax Titanic that is slowly slipping beneath the waxy waves after tragically striking a tiny wax iceberg.
This looks pretty amazing. But please avoid the temptation to treat it as a timeless work of art and just let it sit on your mantle, or in the center of the dining room table, or on your nightstand. This candle is meant to be burned, and that ship and iceberg are meant to be melted! Then, you can buy a new candle, so that the beautiful cycle of candle consumption continues.
How does the Titanic-scented Candle smell? Well, here is what it does NOT smell like: coal smoke, torn iron, or emergency flares. What it does smell like is water.
Now, I don't want to get into a whole thing with you, but most "water" or "ocean" candles actually smell like perfume. But we think this one really smells like water! That said, it is pretty faint. If you're looking for a candle to drown out the odor of your mildewy newspaper collection, or your illicit basement cheese factory, this probably isn't it.
But if you're looking for a subtle and delicate scent to enjoy while you quietly contemplate tragedy then you could not possibly do better than the Titanic-Scented Candle.
Unless there's a Chernobyl-scented candle out there. Hmm. Maybe we should make a Chernobyl-scented candle.
