Sniffs of Adventure

edible MAINE - Waxing Poetic

In the bustling streets of Boston and the quaint corners of Provincetown, a unique fragrance has been stirring the senses. Now, this aromatic adventure has found its way to Maine, thanks to the innovative minds behind Sniffs of Adventure, a candle company that’s more than just about wax and wicks.

The story of ‘The Gingerbread’ candle is as heartwarming as its scent. Inspired by a ski home of the same name in Bethel, this candle encapsulates the essence of cozy winter nights, friends’ laughter, and a hearth’s warmth. It’s not just a candle; it’s a narrative in olfactory form, a memory encased in soy wax.

The founders, Chris and Adam, two Bostonians with a penchant for travel and a nose for nostalgia, have crafted a line of candles that are more than mere room fresheners. They are experiences, each with a story to tell. ‘The Gingerbread’ is no exception. Its rich, spicy notes bring to life the joy of après-ski gatherings, the comfort of a snug blanket, and the charm of a rustic ski lodge.

What sets Sniffs of Adventure apart is their commitment to authenticity and quality. Each candle is a labor of love, hand-poured and infused with memories. The ‘Sip ‘N Sniff’ candle-making experience at their Newbury Street location is a testament to this. Here, candle enthusiasts can blend their own scents, creating personalized memories in a jar.

The excitement doesn’t end in Boston. Sniffs of Adventure is expanding its aromatic footprint to Maine with a new pop-up location at the Kittery Outlets, right next to Nike. This move brings ‘The Gingerbread’ closer to its Bethel roots and introduces Mainers to a world of scents that tell stories.
