What could A Candle for Dads possibly smell like? The comical label accurately describes the scent as the “masculine smell of empty wallet and really bad jokes." Your dad-joke loving father is sure to smile at the playful phrase, and will love the delectable scent of buttered maple syrup that is poured inside. Made in the USA, the 12-ounce jar has a black metal lid and a single lead-free wick.
