The Two Strokes Smoke candle design aims to recreate masculine scents by drawing upon motor grease to recreate the aroma found in a vehicle garage. The candles are made with two stroke oil embedded into the votive to give the product an authentic workshop musky scent.
While most candles tend to draw on fresh, fruity or perfumed notes in the waxy blends, the Two Stroke Smoke Candle by Flying Tiger Motorcycle uses mechanical oil residue to create a distinctively male-centric aroma. The votive features a soy wax base for a long burn that is packaged in a vintage label metal oil can for added aesthetic effect.
Relaxing products such as candles are becoming more gender fluid with the incorporation of masculine scents to specifically target men through recreating comforting aromas.
