The Shake Shack Apotheke Candles Smell of Burgers, Shakes & Fries

The Shake Shack Apotheke candle set introduces a unique set of scents for candle lovers that includes Burger in the Park and Shake & Fries. This collaboration between Shake Shack and the Brooklyn-based luxury home fragrance brand newly launched, introducing a pair of five-ounce candles. According to the partners on the project, one candle captures the essence of "that first bite of a ShackBurger in the fresh spring air of NYC's Madison Square Park," while the other "bottles that first dip of a salty, crispy crinkle-cut fry into a creamy milkshake."

A variety of fast food brands have created their own candles that smell like fried chicken, ice cream desserts and burgers, and this candle set promises to be a special treat for those who can't get enough of Shake Shack.
