To make it smell like you’re frying latkes, especially if you aren’t frying latkes

Note from DS…
“The scent of Chanukah is the scent of frying latkes. This candle smells like a real deal Holyfield potato in all its earthy glory. As the candles burns, it starts to smell cooked – in an agreeable way. Like the fanciest latke frying in a background of verdant olive and peanut oil (a special recipe!)“
