This Candle Combines ‘Squid Game’ and Other Defining 2021 Moments for an Interesting Smell
Yes, you read that right. In case you weren’t already surrounded by Squid Game memes, cast appearances, and videos, you can now buy a scented candle that promises to smell like the hit Netflix K-drama (among other interesting aromas).
So what the heck does a ‘Squid Game’ candle smell like?
Squid Game is defined by many elements. There’s the scathing commentary on capitalism, the universal appeal of children’s games with life-or-death stakes, not to mention some disturbing violence. Luckily, the Squid Game scent of the candle doesn’t smell like any of that (not to mention Flaming Crap already has a Capitalism candle). The Squid Game candle comes with a reasonably pleasant honeycomb scent, inspired by the second game of the show.
If nothing else, Flaming Crap’s Squid Game scent comes with a degree of accuracy. If you’ve ever wanted your house to smell like the Squid Game set (for some reason), then this is the candle for you.
What else does the Flaming Crap 2021 candle smell like?
Squid Game may be one of the most memorable cultural events of the year, but Flaming Crap’s 2021 candle does feature multiple layers of other notable scents from throughout these 10 months so far.
Aside from the smell of honeycomb, the candle also features a “berries and cream” scent from the TikTok trend of the summer, a “clinical tinge of vaccines” as a reference to the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and a #FreeBritney scent reminiscent of Britney Spears’ “Fantasy” fragrance.
