The Nitty Gritty




We are about to have a wicked little conversation about some pretty cool candles. A Philadelphia-based company, Gritty City makes these amazing soy candles and they are special in more than one way. Don't you despise buying a candle that smells great in the jar or tin, only to find out it doesn't smell quite the same when lit? What a bummer. It's also nice when you don't have to go out and get candle, after candle because they just don't last.



With so many candle companies out there, how can you find one that suits you best? Gritty City has some pretty pleasant scents and they don't scream homemaker. There are even scents for men…you know, to cover up the smell of socks and other stale odors;) The labels are unique and cool. No cheesy floral labels. This company focuses on the Prohibition Era and vintage looks. There will be no peeling off the label to make it look less like a purchase from Bed Bath and Beyond. The graphics and packaging are already pretty hip and you won't feel like "Susie homemaker" leaving your tin on the table.



The number one scent is "The Smelly Dog", and no it doesn't smell like a dog. If you have a dog, it will help relieve you of  odiforous smells that accompany your four-legged friend. It's an odor neutralizer and you'll be glad you found this scent. Other delightfully dapper smells for gents include, "Bathtub Gin", "Bootleggers", Prohibition" and Whiskey Run." Don't worry ladies, there are some pretty fruit and plant-based smells for you too. Try out these Fall smells for instance; "Autumn Apple", "Birch", "Brown Sugar Fig", "Spruce", Winter Holiday" and one for the outdoorsy type…"Campfire."


These sensory pleasers will last up to 100 hours of burn time! They come in 2, 4 and 8oz. tins. They are 100% soy wax, with clean fragrances and essential oils. Each one is hand poured and they make great gifts. It's that time of year, for candles and fall smells. Pick up your Gritty City candles at World of Mirth and have your place smelling so fresh and so clean;)
