The best manly scented candles: man candles on Mankind

Scented candles are something everyone should be able to enjoy, but for historical and cultural factors too dense to get into on the Mankind blog, your average scented candle nowadays is aggressively marketed towards the female population. Pink-heavy colour palettes, floral scents, and florid names can put men off something they’re more than entitled to enjoy for themselves. That’s why we at Mankind have put together a selection of our favourite male-friendly home fragrance solutions. Check out our blog on the best manly scented candles (also referred to as man candles) below.
