What's a non-traditional candle scent you would like?

I want a McDonald's. There's something specific about the smell of mcdonalds food in the bag, like a mix of grease, beef, potatoes, and recycled paper products that make me feel like a heroin user getting the first hit of the day

Upvote for art classroom- that's a great idea, and if that candle exists then I need it

Gasoline. Would kill to have a scent like it without the cancer risk.

Lantana, burnt diesel, petrichor, mango sap.

Ugh I love the smell of lantana đź’š

spykee@lemmings.world · 2 pts · 295d

Petrichor is available as perfumes. Spray it where you fancy and bob's your uncle.
For your mango kink, go test Wanted By Night By Azzaro. To me, it smells like mango leaves/mango seed, ymmv.

When you have a lot of McDonald’s in the car it smells like actual garbage.

Fog machine fluid. Love that smell. (I realise I could just get a fog machine, but it's funnier as a candle.)

TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 294d

Smells like maple syrup to me

I smelled a tomato one the other day. That kind of weedy vine smell. Loved it.

LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 294d (2 replies)

Umm... Tomato Vine scented candles already exist and are pretty popular.

Yeah they said they smelled one the other day……

venusaur@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 293d

They asked “non-traditional”, but I’ll let you have it. You knew tomato candles before me! Woah!

RebekahWSD@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 294d

The green part of the tomato? The stem and such? Lovely, amazing scent.

Bakery/the smell bread makes while it's rising.

RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 293d

Actually you can buy that. I got mine from Country Home Candle I think it was called? Small Canadian company, but they all buy scent oils from the same places so you can probably find that scent from a business local to you.

Tea.

That smell of a freshly opened container of black tea leaves is lovely.

lauha@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 294d

Coffee, but not that traditional mocca smell which smells like nothing natural but the smell of fresh bag of coffee beans

i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a "conductor's coal" scent, though.

I would use cigarettes as incense if it were safe and didn't leave a permanent stank

I was just shopping for essential oils and saw tobacco there

TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 294d

I actually don't like the smell of tobacco, oddly enough. I just like the way cigarette smoke smells lol

New computer scent

M1ch431@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 293d

If I could get a candle that smelled like the purple kush hemp strain I got back in the day, that'd be great. It had such an amazing fruity pebbles smell.
