Shoe-Scented Candles

TAFT Released a Range of Limited-Edition Candles that Smell Like New Shoes

TAFT is a luxury footwear brand. Recently, the company dropped a limited-edition candle range that takes inspiration from its shoe-making expertise. The candles are uniquely designed to smell like a pair of fresh-out-the-box shoes to evoke the exciting shoe unboxing experience through the sense of smell.

TAFT's shoe-scented candles include two new scents. The Spanish Cedar candle is inspired by the aroma of a Spaniard leather factory. It includes top notes of mandarin and peppercorn with cedarwood, leather, and amber. In addition, the Eden No. 1 candle is crated with TAFT's best-selling Eden-boot in mind. The candle fragrance uses cardamon, suede, and amber to create a balanced floral experience and evoke the feeling of entering the Garden of Eden.
