PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Have you ever walked the streets of Philadelphia, taken a deep breath, and thought, "Man, I wish I could bottle up this smell"?

No? Well, maybe someone you know has.


Just in time for the holidays, the Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation has released the Philadelphia Experiences Collection: 7-ounce candles that give off the feeling of an aromatic hug from the City of Brotherly Love.

Scents include:

Beautiful Day in the Gayborhood candlePhiladelphia Visitor Center Corporation

Boathouse Mornings candlePhiladelphia Visitor Center Corporation

Place Called the Plateau candlePhiladelphia Visitor Center Corporation

South Philly Sunday Dinner candlePhiladelphia Visitor Center Corporation

The Visitor Center has not yet disclosed the exact scents of each candle, but there is a chance to find out in person this week.

On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 4 p.m., there will be a "Candle Catwalk" smell test event at Liberty View at the Independence Visitor Center on Market Street. The first 20 people to correctly guess the scents get to take home a candle.

For those who aren't able to get a whiff, prices start at $32. Discounted bundles are available. Customers can purchase them later this month at the Independence, LOVE Park, Parkway and City Hall visitor centers. They will also be available at the Philadelphia Visitor Center Corporation's booth at Christmas Village.

The candles are made in partnership with Color & Flame in  Salem County, New Jersey.
