The scents pay tribute to Birmingham's custard factory, Cannock Chase and Walsall's saddle-making heritage.
A couple have created candles designed to smell like places in the West Midlands.Among others, their candles pay tribute to Digbeth's custard factory, Walsall's traditional saddle-making industry and the scent of Cannock Chase.
However, Mr Briggs admitted that not every aroma of the West Midlands deserved to be wafted around your bedroom. He said his personal favourite candle was one dedicated to Birmingham City FC, but added the "masculine" scent captured the essence of St Andrews, rather than the average matchday. "We didn't really want to make one of our candles smell like Pukka Pies and a cup of Bovril," Mr Briggs said.Other candles' scents, the couple say, are more in keeping with their origins."We always take our dog there. It's not just trees. It's like even in the summer, it smells wet... damp, salty, but clean," she said.
The couple are also open to new ideas and want people in the region to come up with their own suggestions.Holders Peterborough will face Northampton and League Two leaders Port Vale travel to Doncaster in the last 32 of the Vertu Trophy.Student block plans set to be considered againWalsall kitman Dave Joyce and pitchside announcer Simon Hill had been charged with misconduct following their game with Crewe Alexandra on 9 November.
