Let’s face it, candles are pretty much on almost everyone’s holiday shopping list. Any gifts with scents detectable through the packaging are guaranteed to get used immediately. However, commercialized stores aren’t the only place to get your fix of scented candles and body products. So many local Detroit businesses have their own idea of divine smells. Consider this your guide to “Scent-sual” gifts.
This week, Detroitisit’s Gift Guide 2021 is highlighting all the special scents stirring throughout the city. It’s always an excellent time to support local Detroit businesses, but especially around the holidays. Detroitisit rounded up local Detroit businesses focused on providing pleasure to individuals while also bringing love to the community!
