Ok, Yankee Candle has come out with man scents. There is "Riding Mower", "2X4" and "First Down". Mowing the lawn is always a big job for me, once a week in the summer. It takes over 2 hours to trim, edge and mow. It leaves me exhausted, therefore I don't need to be reminded on the other days of the week. I'm replacing some wood trim and I probably make it twice as hard as it is for someone who knows what they are doing. I've never been a great woodworker (I don't know how I passed wood shop at Scribner Junior High (go Panthers). It's tough enough to not be accomplished at this manly endeavor. Please don't rub salt into the wound by burning a candle that smells like sawdust. The Yankee Candle called "First Down" smells like dirt. Seriously? Enough said.
I'm convinced that regular guys weren't consulted in the development of these new fragrances. Maybe metrosexuals that never had to do any chores. Here would be my choices for smells that men like (besides good smelling women): "Hoppe's Number 9" (a gun cleaning solvent), "Gasoline" (we'll never admit it but when filling up the tank on the lawn mower we like to take a whiff), "New Car Smell" (what man doesn't like that once the sticker shock has worn off), "Leather" (any leather product is like a man magnet) and finally...drum roll..."Fried Bacon" (no explanation necessary).
