Magnolia Bakery could have made that well-known look in Intercourse and the Metropolis some 20-odd years in the past, however that doesn’t imply the West Village scorching spot’s reputation has waned. As of right this moment, the enduring bakery is taking up their very own model of “wellness” with a candle that pays homage to its unapologetically decadent banana pudding.
The collaboration—at the side of candle firm Boy Smells—stems from cofounder Matthew Herman’s “decades-long obsession” with the notorious Magnolia Bakery pudding. “Banana Pudding has at all times and can without end be my trip or die indulgence,” he says. “When residing in New York and later in LA, each time coworkers, pals, or lovers requested what sort of cake I needed for my birthday, I might at all times say no cake, only a large banana pudding, please.”
The perfume is relatively sudden. There are creamy traditional banana notes with vanilla, nevertheless it doesn’t give off scratch-and-sniff fruity vibes. It will be finest to explain the scent as “gourmand,” with guaiac, leather-based, cardamom spice and elemi resin making it a bit hotter and smoky.
Along with being accessible on-line and in a number of retail areas, The Boy Smells x Magnolia Bakery Banana Pudding candle ($48) can be accessible at Magnolia Bakery’s authentic location within the West Village and Magnolia Bakery West Hollywood on Saturday, June 17.
