Breakup candles are a gift for when you are with someone you like, but have suspicions your partner may end things soon. Breakup candles would have two different scent stages; at the top, the candle would smell like Vanilla, and near the bottom, the candle would smell like chicken livers and Walmart bathrooms.

If the relationship gets better you accidentally break the candles at some point so they dont catch on. Perhaps knowing that over the days and weeks the candle was burning down lower would make you assess the relationship at a quicker pace. But if you decide the relationship is unsalvageable, you leave the candles at their house, and perhaps actually look forward to the moment they bring their next lover home and greet them with the smell of chicken guts.

       I like this, though perhaps it may be best rather than the candle being first one then t'other half-and-half style, make the first quarter vanilla, and then, for the remainder of the candle, mostly vanilla but with occasional brief bursts of tramp's arse or septic tank, so that the sniffing ex would be less able to locate the source of the intermittent stench.

       Also, I've decided I am going to try and make a small batch of these. I am thinking of sardine oil for the bottom scent, but i dont know enough about candle making yet.

       I read this as Roman Break Up Candles, where you look out your window and are like "Aww, I guess I'm dumped, but it is pretty."
