Humorous Conversation Candles

Anecdote Candles' Limited Edition Candle Captures 2020's Spirit

— October 22, 2020 — Lifestyle
Anecdote Candles is introducing its Limited Edition Candle of the Year for 2020 and 2021, sharing a humorous pair of products that are perfect for gifting. As founder Julie Maskulka says, "Many have asked if we have a candle that's reflective of the times. Now that the hysteria has died down, we're ready to put our social commentary in candle form with our release of the Limited Edition Candle of the Year for 2020 and 2021."

While the 2020 candle has bright and hopeful notes of mandarin to represent a new decade, amber provides a weightiness to represent the complexity of the year. The 2021 candle, Smells Like Not Soon Enough, combines the scents of cedarwood and oud for a fresh and earthy blend.
