Five Names for Candles that are Literary Allusions

One of the drawbacks of being as prolific a writer as I am, I am often overwhelmed with requests for me to contribute some choice wit. Easily the worst culprits in this regard are candle manufacturers, who constantly ask me for clever, literary names for new candles. Despite my usual reluctance to honor such requests, I submit the following suggestions:
  1. The Most Dangerous Flame
  2. Grape Expectations
  3. Scents and Sensibility
  4. Two Gentlemen of Aroma
  5. Fahrenheit 1832 (The Temperature at which Candles Burn)
