It’s nice to have some scented candles around the house, isn’t it? And everyone has their favourite type of scent. For instance, the right candle can fill your home with a lovely fragrance, make a room feel cosy, or make bathtimes seem all the more luxurious. 

What scented candles don’t usually do is make your house smell like a barbecue. But they can, if that’s the kind of smell you want wafting through your house.

Heinz is about to drop a candle in Australia which represents the smell of a true blue Aussie tradition - the sausage sizzle. 

A sausage sizzle is essentially sausage served in sliced white bread or a hot dog bun with tomato sauce, and sometimes grilled onions and mustard. Sausage sizzles can usually be found at community events, and Australian hardware chain Bunnings is known for having sausage sizzles out the front of their stores on weekends.

The term “democracy sausage" has even been coined, as sausage sizzles are commonplace outside Australian polling stations on election day.

Well, later this month, fans of the sausage sizzle will be able to recreate the smell with the new Aussie Sausage Sizzle Scented Candle. And it’s just one of three barbecue themed candles that Heinz have created in Australia. 

There's also the Aussie Backyard BBQ Scented Candle and the Aussie Beef Burger Scented Candle.

Sharing news of the candles on Instagram, Heinz AU wrote: "Don’t let the familiar smell of the summer season fade with our BBQ inspired candles."

The candles come with actual bottles of the relevant sauces: ketchup and mustard with the Aussie Sausage Sizzle Scented Candle, tomato sauce and aioli with the Aussie Backyard BBQ Scented Candle, and burger sauce and mayo with the Aussie Beef Burger Scented Candle.

These candles are, sadly, only available in Australia and cost $20, from heinztohome.com.au.
