Want to impress a date with a romantic candlelit evening? We’ve found a candle we love that not only sets the scene, but also fills the air with an aroma you’ll both enjoy.

The new Cask Candle offers up a floral-whiskey scent highlighted with patchouli, cedar woods and vanilla. It’s also crafted from soy wax, which means it will burn cleaner than paraffin and be easier on the planet.

This new candle is the second collaboration between Baxter of California and Ronin, a Hong Kong based restaurant established in 2013. It’s a sister restaurant to Yardbird, also in Hong Kong.

“I had the pleasure of meeting with RONIN (and Yardbird) co-owner Lindsay Jang last year when she was in Los Angeles,” says JP Mastey, creative director at Baxter. “At that time Lindsay was purchasing Baxter of California hand wash and candles for her restaurants. Our first venture was a black currant hand wash (BOC & RONIN co-branded) that we launched in the Summer of 2013, while developing a unique and custom scent for a new candle.”

$35 for the Cask Candle at Baxter of California.

The responses to the trailer online have been largely positive, with many noticing how vibrant and colorful the film looks, and also taking note of its use of John Williams's original Superman theme, which has been repurposed here for electric guitar.

The second season of Netflix's Squid Game, which was a massive phenomenon following its first season, is finally almost here. Now, ahead of the second season's release on Dec. 26, Googling Squid Game will get you a fun way to pass a few minutes.

Netflix partnered with Google on the game, which will appear if you tap the brown envelope that appears on the bottom of the screen. The game is a replication of the "red light, green light" came from the show's first season. By pressing the blue circles, you advance six players in pink suits while Young-Hee's head is turned. Your players must stop before she turns around, and if they don't one of them will be eliminated. Thankfully, they don't get brutally shot down and left to lay there like they do on the show.
