Yes Please! Candle
The 19-69 scent Yes Please! embodies post-industrial Manchester in the 1980s, marked by crumbling warehouses and a spirit of experimentation. At the heart of this scene was Factory Records and its groundbreaking club, The Haçienda, which merged talent from music, art, and film to create a lasting youth movement. Maybe you own a faded black T-shirt with the iconic cover art of Joy Division's "Unknown Pleasures" or the best-selling 12-inch single "Blue Monday" by New Order. Alongside these were bands like the Happy Mondays and the Stone Roses, making Manchester known as 'Madchester'—the center of the universe.
Keywords for the scent are gin & tonic and vinyl.
