This is what brown can do for you.

Mmm… Breakfast.

After my roommate set off the fire alarms in our apartment building, which is an entirely different story, our apartment smelled a bit like grease fire.  So I put my trusty snow boots on the other night and trekked down to “the wal” for a perusal of their scented candles section.

I ended up buying three.

One for the dining room/family room area, and two for my room.  Here’s where the evening took a drastic turn.  I’ve tried both of them out, I like them both for different reasons, and I think they both have the potential to end my love life for a considerable amount of time.  That’s where you come in, trusty readers of Wily Filipino.  I need your help.

The two candles I bought belonged to a line of scented candles whose theme was cupcakes.  They’re all supposed to smell like different cupcake flavors.  After several minutes of deliberation, I settled on these two:  Cherry Chip and Cinnamon French Toast.

So here’s the scenario:  You’re on a 6th, 7th… possibly 8th date with a guy.  You’ve done the offbeat, yet endearingly thoughtful activity you’ve come to know and love, and you awkwardly hint at heading to his place for a nightcap, because he’s too much of a wimp to make a real move (read: a gentleman), and upon entering the place “where the magic happens” as they say, it smells like:

a) Cherry

2) Breakfast

Discuss.

  1. Look, any time the guy’s place doesn’t smell like old milk, you’re golden as far as I’m concerned.

    And I say Cherry. Save the French Toast for breakfast. BWAH!!

  3. Breakfast. I think the fruity smells would throw me off. But you can’t go wrong with being a good cook :)

  4. Breakfast. Conjures up feelings of home, security, and family. Women love these things.
