A NIGHT IN WITH A NIGHT OUT

A Night Out, is that even possible to enjoy anymore when one is into Beethoven, Fawlty Towers, and above the age of 45? Ok so maybe I'm projecting. Perhaps not getting enough (if any) Vitamin D! But it does feel like these days a night in with a bottle of Russian Red (yes those are the best Reds I've recently discovered. Marani Khvanchkara to be exact) and a Bill Bryson book sounds ultimately more appealing than a night out with a bunch of self-anointed club presidents prattle on about their self-obsessed lives which they in-turn intend to self-publish.

Alternatively, a night in, with a Night Out Candle by CA Candle Studios, is going to be the order of the day (and night).

The Hype

The LEOBEN CO Night Out Masculine Aromas Collection 3 Wick 24oz Vegan Soy Wax candle is made with high-quality vegan soy wax and infused with the masculine scent of "Night Out." This handmade candle features multiple wicks, creating a beautiful and relaxing ambiance perfect for holiday gatherings or any special occasion.

The Word on the Street

I first purchased this Night Out scent at a Home Goods Store. I LOVE this fragrance and couldn't find another candle anywhere. I went to every store in my area looking for this one scent. So, I was thrilled to find this on Amazon.

My thoughts

Masculine notes. Top: Saffron, Jasmine and Amber. Middle: wood, ambergris. Base: Fir resin, Cedarwood. You had me at masculine. I'm between stalls on this one. Part of me believes its all homogenous fluff targeted at women to give to their husbands whose only hobby is to disappear into the garage, make miscellaneous 3D props for films she's never seen, and return to the house drunk on gin. They could buy him some quality gin instead of the cheap local moonshine gin, but it wouldn't make a difference. He wouldn't notice.

The other part of me wants to light this Night Out candle and settle in for the night watching a 60s Bond film, with the Blu Ray commentary on from the not-so-important cast and crew. The wife is away on business and I'm going to bloody well dip my bread.

If it's the former, and you're the wife reading this. Please call your husband at work, where he'll be hungover, but sober, and tell him we need a change in our lives. Something has to change, or else we'll both end up hating ourselves. Hating each other, like we hated our parents who couldn't get it under control. It's not too late.
