This Collection of Unusual Scented Candles May Ignite Childhood Memories

Forget vanilla and lemongrass home scents -- you don't live outdoors! What do you think about these more unusual scented candles as contributors to a different but fitting interior atmosphere? Even if this collection of products isn't real, Albert J Son's unique idea and accompanying packaging design is enough to entice you with the simpler experiences in life.

Plastic Toy, Wet Road, Scotch Tape, Cut Grass and Stinky Cheese make up the five fragrances in the set. To represent each one, the designer used bright colors and geometric patterns that resemble lego, puddle waves, torn adhesive strips, trimmed rectangles and perforated squares, respectively. They are cartoony in style and soft in tone, making the playful lidded tins easy on the eyes and intriguing to your nose. Perhaps these smells would serve as better cues for comforting memories than the typical perfumey luminaries.
