KFC is at it again. "Imbued with the unmistakable, mouth-watering aroma of Colonel Sanders’ secret recipe, the KFC 11 Herbs & Spices Firelog finally puts to rest the age-old dilemma, “How can I make this fire a hundred bajillion times better?” This one-of-a-kind firelog from Enviro-Log, a leading manufacturer of firelogs made of 100 percent recycled materials, is the result of countless hours of research and development, all done over the last couple of months since we had this idea. Pick up a firelog today, and you’ll be wondering how you were ever able to enjoy a fire that didn’t smell like fried chicken." $18.99 each at KFC.

Reportedly developed in response to a challenge that you could not replicate the smell of red wine with a perfume, Dr. Vranjes' Rosso Nobile Candle ("Notes of orange are highlighted by the flowery-fruity agreement between, violet, magnolia, plum, red grape, strawberry and raspberry. Whips of mature wood with a smoked note of birch recreate the aroma of tannins.") is available in 3 sizes (500, 1000 and 6000g for $130, $196 and $783) at Neiman Marcus.
