If you are seriously obsessed with Kentucky Fried Chicken's Double Down sandwich, this chicken-scented candle will be exactly your taste. From Kentucky for Kentucky, a Lexington-based small company with an objective to "engage and inform the world by promoting Kentucky people, places and products," the limited edition Double Down candle will be available on their website starting Friday.
The KFC sandwich that inspired the scent consists of bacon, sauce and cheese sandwiched between two pieces of fried chicken. This is reflected in the newest addition to the Scents of the Commonwealth line from Kentucky for Kentucky. The Kentucky Hot Brown candle is another new item, which is comfort food-inspired, herb-infused turkey and cheese fragrance. Other candles in this gourmet range include Mint Julep, Thoroughbred and 2013's Fried Chicken-scented candle.
