One upshot of all this working from home is the ability to burn scented candles whenever you please. But grocery store jars with vanilla names like, well, “Vanilla” just won’t cut it. You need clever aromas and clever names and seriously clever descriptions. You need candles you can share on Instagram and eagerly recommend to your Zoom-mates. Poured by hand in Oakland, California, Anecdote’s all-natural soy-wax candles feature evocative names like “Bottomless Mimosas,” “Flannel and Fedoras,” and “Adulting,” with evocative fragrance blends to back them up. Jars and tins are $24 and $14, respectively.
