Can you tell by the smell when you are back home?

Smell is one of the body’s strongest links to memory. A whiff of your favorite food, the summer breeze or a special soap can make you think of your childhood home. Now you can have that comforting scent anytime, right at your fingertips. A company called Homesick Candles creates custom scents to remind you of your home state. Each jumbo-sized candle burns between 60 and 80 hours, chock full of special, curated smells that represent many of these United States.

… Texas, for example, is “a hint of leather, a bit of fresh cotton, and a just a touch of sage,” to make you feel like you’re deep in the heart of the Lone Star State.

… Florida, naturally, mixes orange, driftwood and sea mist.

… And Georgia is a blend of sweet tea and peaches.

***** Illinois “takes you back to the Land of Lincoln” with hints of grain fields, violets (the state flower), and lavender.

Can’t say I agree with the Illinois smell choices, because corn was not listed. And do violets really smell?

Nice try. FYI: Not all states are available. Request the state you left by visiting HomeSickCandles.com
