Being in the tropical plant business, we find that many of our plants have amazing names that sound like they should be fragrant; with names such as Monstera Mint or Monstera Creme Brulé. The names of course are in reference to the variegation of the leaves but we are programmed to associate these names with smells. Not to mention that we associate plants with clean air. It would just make sense that when we walk into a room filled with plants, that we expect a level of fragrance that attempts to match the visual beauty.
Whoever Smelt It Dealt It
Most of our tropical plants do not have any smell at all. There are some cactus such as the Starfish Plant that are known for their awful smell. The flowers of most Stapelias are not only breathtakingly beautiful — they’re smelly. In fact, they radiate an aroma of rotting flesh, which is why they’re known as carrion flowers. The hairs, combined with foul odors and lurid colors, are nature’s way of making Stapelia flowers resemble carrion to fool their main pollinators — flies.
The Solution
The Plant Daddies of Atlanta have heard the cries and have created a solution. We have worked with our friends and the best candle and soap makers ever, The Dirty Unicorn to create a few custom scents to help match our optic senses with our nasal pleasures.
Adansonii Mint
This has quickly become one of our most popular candles. Its clean, refreshing minty goodness will fill the plant room. The mint isn't overpowering, its slight with hints of rose and lavender. Its the perfect botanical bliss.
Monstera Creme Brûlée
This amazingly rare and beautiful plant had to be paired with a fragrance to match its rizz. Vanilla, coffee and tobacco pair together to bring feelings of warm nights in front of the fireplace.
Philodendron Strawberry Shake
She is brat... This candle has 7 summer fruits that will surely strum the strings of a summer garden party. Its clean, its fruity, its heaven in a can.
Plant Zaddy
You may be wondering what the difference between a plant daddy and a plant zaddy... A plant daddy will buy you a plant. A plant zaddy will give you the gold card and drop you off at the plant store. While there isn't a plant to match to this fragrance, it is the Plant Daddies favorite smell. Its pine, roasting fire, tobacco and more. This complex fragrance will bring up feelings of the holiday and winter but not overpowering enough to be burned all year long. Summed up in one word, cozy.
Our Packaging and Candle
We chose to package our candle in paint cans. We feel this fits the daddy vibe. The candles are 100% soy based wax that burns clean every time.
Our candles make amazing gifts for the holidays. Grab one for yourself or the host of your favorite Christmas Party.
