Bananas! From Wary Meyers: "The scent of bananas when they’re at their perfectly ripest - not green, not mushy, but how you’d think bananas smell when you see a picture of a giant bunch of them at a fruit market in the sun-drenched tropics. Or picture you just lopped of [sic] a bunch from a banana palm to use as a pillow as you fall asleep on a hot exotic beach. How this translates to your living room is intriguingly unexpected. Its scent is neither food nor fruit, but vibe. Adding to its unique quality, this delectable candle comes with a sheet of 14 different stickers for you to decorate your own jar." $44 at Luckyscent.
