It is clear that everything that surrounds the world of the bitten apple is synonymous with business and you will not believe what it offers the Twelve South company. It is a candle that they have made with a mixture of scents whose final result is the same smell that you can have when you open the box of a Mac for the first time. The truth is that if you think a bit you will realize that it is true that the boxes of Apple devices have a characteristic smell that when you open them makes you think of the brand itself.
We do not know for sure if Apple itself has a fragrance that the boxes are impregnated with before introducing the devices, but it is clear that their smell is characteristic, although it may be due to the glues they use, which we assume will be exactly the same since Apple controls every last detail of its packaging.
Be that as it may, what we want to tell you today is that if you want your house to smell like a newly opened Mac, it is no longer impossible and the company Twelve South has put on sale a candle that has been created from a mixture of odors whose end result is the smell that Macs have when you take them out of their box for the first time. These candles are made of 100% soy wax. Soy wax is 100% vegetable compared to paraffin, which is derived from petroleum. Soy wax is created from legume grains, so it is biodegradable, soluble in water and lasts 50% longer to burn than traditional paraffin candles, in addition to being consumed slowly and at a lower temperature, which makes to keep the aroma until the end. These candles are non-toxic and do not produce soot or residual pollution.
Regarding the fragrance recipe, they inform us that it is a mixture of mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin and sage and that we can have between 45 and 55 hours of smell once we turn it on. Right now it is not for sale due to lack of stock, but you can sign up to be informed when it is already available and you can be one of the first or first to have one. Its price is 24 dollars.
$ 480 Mexican pesos for a candle? I am, and I don't mind admitting it, Fanboy, I don't think ... maybe for a gringo it's just the cost of a meal, but for me it means a day and a half of work. I did not mind saving and investing $ 2,600 in an SSD disk for my mac because it means greater productivity and comfort at work, but from there to spend «$ 480 pesos on something that will burn in a matter of hours because if it deserves to be horned by a bull. eeeaaaa I clarify, whoever has them to spend them on the candle for me to spend them, each one their ticket and their taste, at the end of the day that their taste makes them fat, I pass 🙂
