In 2016 Hale & Wick released the greatest candle ever made. It smelled of nothing. In 2017 they retired it because people complained that it smelled of nothing.

I bought one in 2016 and returned it because it smelled of nothing. I am one of the people. I stand by it.
Hello, and thank you for your patience. I joined the forum this month, and this thread was the first thing I was asked to look at.
Our records show that in 2016 we received 31 requests for an unscented candle, and introduced one. In 2017 we received 29 complaints that it smelled of nothing, and retired it. Eleven of the complaints came from people who had made the original request.
We did what the data told us both times. We would do it again. That is the problem.
Yes. Our position has been that a margin of two is not large enough to pour forty candles. We will review it every year, and we will tell you each time.
If Unscented comes back, Fresh Paint comes back. That’s only fair.
2. I get migraines. It was the only candle I could have in the house. It made the room feel like someone had lit a candle without anything else happening, which is all I wanted.
Thank you for sharing that, quiet_nose_sf. We hear you, and it’s noted in the binder.
On Fresh Paint: it is the most accurate candle we have ever made, and we stand by it. It is also why the front room had to be repainted, which nobody predicted except, in a sense, the candle. We are not ready to talk about it yet.
Annual review, as promised. Signatures: 30. Opposition: 2 (cedar_skeptic, and a man who wrote to us by post). Margin: 28. This is now larger than the margin that retired it.
We are reconsidering. I have also checked, and vince_sells_homes has signed this thread eleven times. We have counted him once.
Each signature was on behalf of a different listing.
Here is what we will do. In spring 2027 we will pour one batch of Unscented. Forty glasses. Everyone who has signed this thread gets first claim, in the order they signed.
In spring 2028, if anyone is unhappy, we will retire it again, and we will mean it just as much. We think this is the fairest thing we can do. We have thought about it for longer than is healthy.
cedar_skeptic signing is the greatest moment of my life. nine years.
Current count: 48 signatures for Unscented. 1 for Fresh Paint (you). 1 for Open House (Vince, counted once). The front room has been repainted twice since 2018 and we would like to keep it this color.
