When the times get tough, people can wallow peacefully with the Flicking Candle Company's hilarious collection of scented products. Instead of soaking in a bath or drinking a glass of Merlot surrounded by the smell of vanilla, flowers and more, people can now bask fully in their own dire situation with 'Smells like a college rejection letter,' 'Freshly signed divorce papers,' 'Defriend,' 'The Friend Zone' and 'Canceled vacation.'
Steeped in dark humor, the Flicking Candle Company can also remind people that others are having just as hard a time as they are. They write, "Flicking Candles make the perfect gift for friends and family, especially if they’re going through a hard time.[...] They’ll be happy to own a fragrance that truly captures life and all its disappointments."
