If Lansing Was A Candle Scent, This Is What It’d Be!

Lansing is our home. It's the capital of our beloved state. Lansing residents are proud of their town and where they came from. The scent of Lansing remains questionable and these are the candle scents that Lansing would be, according to your feedback.

When I moved to Lansing I lived at 420 S. Walnut in downtown Lansing. I would walk to classes at L.C.C. and sometimes the aromas that were in the air were disturbing. There were some places that smelled horrific like Gary, Indiana. Downtown Lansing has some peculiar odors.

Depending where you are at in Lansing, you might smell the aroma in the air. Remember when Roma Bakery was sill in business? If you walked by there your nose would be cleansed from the futile odors that you sniffed 2 blocks away. The good ol days.

I'm not the dude that goes out to buy candles unless they are a specific candle that my wife pointed out to me and said, "hey you beautiful hunk of glory, I really want that candle". I'll take the bullet and go get her the candle. Thankfully my wife isn't into throwing candle parties, that would be chaos and a lot of money would be spent.

Lansing could very well be represented by candle scent, according to you, these are the top answers. Enjoy the laughs, I think these candle scents are on point for Lansing.

Top 15 Lansing Candle Scents

Christina Lyn:

Smog

While there isn't a ton of smog in Lansing, the fog downtown smells "iffy".

Terrie Reinoehl:

The Peanut Shop Shop and it's amazing smell.

This could be a top seller, the aroma is amazing at The Peanut Shop.

Ray Arbour:

Grand River

Great suggestion Ray, hardcore pass from me on purchasing this scent.

Melissa Gangluff:

Gunpowder and Lead

Jason Schmueker:

Skunkweed and dirty water

Is that what I'm smelling? I thought we were overridden with skunks in Lansing.

Michael Gorham:

I don't know about Lansing, but Ionia would be feet and failure.

Not pleasant odors, definitely funny.

Sue Alicea:

Auto exhaust...

Sue, I'm an odd ball and like the smell of exhaust and gasoline.

Denny Emmer:

Paramount Coffee being roasted. When downtown, that's what I smell.

Stong suggestion Denny, I'd buy that scent.

Dan Ward:

Hot Garbage

Depending on where you live in Lansing, there's a strong chance that you won't have to buy a candle to enjoy this scent.

Chris Solari:

Olive burger

That's a tasty burger, will it translate well into a candle scent?

Jonny Kingsman:

Carp or Trout

Agreed. The smell of rotting carp, like I smelled growing up on the shores of Lake Michigan are alive and well in Lansing.

Anne Sipe:

Burning toast, smell it often.

I have smelled that odor often in Lansing too. Candle sales will go thru the roof.

Scott Miller:

Meth in the morning

Someone would like the smell.

Ben Eggenberger:

Do I seriously have to be the first one to say "burning couch"?

The obvious, simply stated. Well done, Ben.

Andrew Eagle:

Weed and urine. So proud.

Willing to bet that either sent sold seperately would fail. If you mix the two together, well, it's still not going to sell.
