If, by the title, you were anticipating the mad, fragrance fueled confessions of a scent obsessed degenerate, you would be half right.
Our friend *Kurt is a candle addict. And by addict I mean junkie. And by junkie I mean collector. (*names have been changed).
Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a program, facility or "retreat" in existence that can help Kurt shake his thirst for the heady scent of the brightly shining baubles. But, we can take comfort in the knowledge that at least he's discriminating in his taste. You won't find a Glade, or Febreze candle within a 100 miles of Kurt's sensitive olfactory system. And it's been at least three years since we discovered the waxy, pitted remains of a (gasp!) Santa candle. (We're all just trying to move on).
So, how do we help our dear afflicted friend? The only way we know how. We make sure he gets the really good stuff.
