The Moby-Dick Scented Candle smells exactly like a whale. As Herman Melville noted in Chapter 94 of Moby-Dick, whales sometimes smell “literally and truly, like the smell of spring violets.” So that is what this candle smells like. (If you think whales DON’T smell like spring violets—just how is it that you know what whales smell like, anyhow?!) It's a great gift for English teachers, book lovers, or anyone who wants to pretend that they've read Moby-Dick. / fragrance: violets
