During Prohibition, "the cat's meow" was a term used to describe something or someone that was the best, most stylish, or most impressive—often used to refer to a person, event, or even a beloved item that stood out above the rest. In the Roaring Twenties, when flappers, jazz, and speakeasies dominated the scene, being called "the cat's meow" was the ultimate compliment, signaling that you were at the height of cool.
Now, you can enjoy the gin-scented candle that’s truly the cat's meow! Available in either a rocks glass or mini mason jar, this candle captures the crisp, refreshing aroma of gin, bringing the spirit of Prohibition to life in your space. Hopefully, you can enjoy the intoxicating gin scent without the risk of being raided—just like those sneaky, rebellious nights in a secret speakeasy. Light it up, sit back, and relish in the timeless charm of a truly unforgettable fragrance.
During Prohibition (1920–1933), "Gasper" was a slang term used to refer to a cigarette. The term was popularized among people involved in the underground or "bootlegging" scene, which often included speakeasy patrons and those evading the law.
As a result of Prohibition, many speakeasies and secret bars became havens for not just alcohol but also for other acts of rebellion and subculture, and smoking a "gasper" became part of the overall atmosphere of defiance.
In addition to being used to refer to cigarettes, "gasper" could also occasionally be heard in some areas referring to a swig of alcohol, particularly when the drink was of lower quality. The association with cigars and cigarettes further cemented the sense of rebellion against the restrictive social laws of the time.
So, while "gasper" was mainly a cigarette, the word carried with it a bit of the rebellious spirit of the Prohibition era
In today’s world, "giggle water" may seem like a quirky and nonsensical term, but during Prohibition, it was very much a part of the vocabulary. Giggle water was a playful slang term for alcohol, especially the kind being secretly served in speakeasies during the 1920s. With the country’s ban on alcohol, people resorted to calling it "giggle water" as a cheeky nod to the effects it had—loosening tongues, making people laugh, and lowering inhibitions. The term became a symbol of rebellion, as folks enjoyed their "giggle water" in hidden bars, knowing every sip was a small act of defiance against the law.
Now, you can experience the scent of giggle water—aka a refreshing mojito—and be transported back to the Roaring Twenties! This candle, available in either a rocks glass or mini mason jar, captures the essence of that Prohibition-era rebellion, with the crisp, invigorating aroma of mint and rum. But act fast—sip your "giggle water" and enjoy the moment before the feds come knocking, ready to raid your hidden speakeasy.
Step back in time with this Whiskey-Scented Candle or Wax Melt, available in a Rocks Glass or Mini Mason Jar. The rich, smoky aroma of aged whiskey fills the air, whisking you away to the days of Prohibition. Imagine the warmth and depth of a perfectly poured drink in a crystal-clear rocks glass, as the flickering candlelight casts shadows reminiscent of a hidden speakeasy. The hum of hushed conversations, clinking glasses, and the soft notes of oak and vanilla mingle with the bold, amber whiskey scent, transporting you to a world where every sip was an act of defiance and every moment felt like a thrilling escape. Let this candle set the mood and carry you to a time when rebellion was in the air and whiskey was a precious, secret indulgence.
With the flickering flame casting shadows across the walls, you can almost hear the faint sound of footsteps approaching—federal agents on the prowl, their raid imminent. Yet, for now, you remain in the safety of the underground bar, savoring the essence of a time when whiskey was more than a drink—it was a symbol of defiance, camaraderie, and an era that refused to go quietly into the night.
This whiskey-scented candle isn’t just a fragrance; it’s an experience. Perfect for anyone who loves the spirit of adventure and the allure of a hidden world from the Roaring Twenties.
