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
buttery fried eggs and toast
old pine cabin on a rainy day
art classroom
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.
steam deck vent smell
Lantana, burnt diesel, petrichor, mango sap.
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.
Ugh I love the smell of lantana 💚
Fog machine fluid. Love that smell. (I realise I could just get a fog machine, but it's funnier as a candle.)
Smells like maple syrup to me
When you have a lot of McDonald’s in the car it smells like actual garbage.
Not when I'm stoned!
I smelled a tomato one the other day. That kind of weedy vine smell. Loved it.
Umm... Tomato Vine scented candles already exist and are pretty popular.
Yeah they said they smelled one the other day……
They asked “non-traditional”, but I’ll let you have it. You knew tomato candles before me! Woah!
The green part of the tomato? The stem and such? Lovely, amazing scent.

I love unboxing some new tech, but why an access point specifically?
Wrong kind of access point...
;)
Bakery/the smell bread makes while it's rising.
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.
Firework sulphur
Some strains of weed
Blood and smoke
Unburnt Cigarettes
Gasoline
Dirt
Uh that's actually pretty neat
Durban poison smells amazing
Metal AF my brother
Coffee, but not that traditional mocca smell which smells like nothing natural but the smell of fresh bag of coffee beans
Used book store.
That's just Frankincense and Myrrh
i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a "conductor's coal" scent, though.
it ain’t called liartown for nuffin’: it’s all photoslop and wordfuckery.
Vegemite. That first heady whiff of yeast and salt when you open a new jar.
Tea.
That smell of a freshly opened container of black tea leaves is lovely.
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
I actually don't like the smell of tobacco, oddly enough. I just like the way cigarette smoke smells lol
Hockey rink
New computer scent
Just scrape out the bottom of the deep fryer and put a wick in in, boom McCandle
Garlic. Do not ask why.
I'm assuming that's work like mosquito repellant for vampires
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.
It's not that special here but tar is a pretty good one
Ur Mum
The smell you get when your mom runs the household vacuum cleaner from the late 2000s / early 2010s at noon on Sunday.
That's dust my brother
That metallic scent typical of human blood.
