Design at least 2 new Yankee Candle
In light of our society’s tendency to “gender” everything, I want you to come up with and design at least 2 new
Yankee Candle (or some similar candle design) scents where each is specifically marketed for either “him” or “her”.
You can do a mix for candles “for him” and “for her” or focus on 1 gender. This is an exercise in satire- we want these
to be absurdly gendered candles (something so ridiculous you can’t help but laugh atit). The candles should be well
thought out, nicely produced, and speak to the social construction of gender and gender roles.
Instructions:
(1) Think of 2 scents (fragrances) that would work for this assignment. You can focus on gendered items,
gendered events, or even sociological concepts related to gender. Do not take my examples or fragrances
which already exist. Be creative here and go for humor! (But keep it classy)
