Candle scents have gotten WILD.
Like, totally unhinged, don't-make-no-SENSE, gotta-sell-some-wicks unhinged.
Yankee Candle is a leader in the scent industry, but we all know Bath'n'Body works holds it down with their triple wicks, and there are dozens of others that make a much-less refined candle.
We thought we'd highlight some of the wildest scents from the past few decades...
I've no doubt that these smell good - but what are they exactly ? Does it smell like dad or union leader?
We can get onboard with Riding Mower - but what in the heck is Man Town and what lonely middle aged woman is falling for it?
So SURE - maybe it's pigskin and grass, but then what does Second Down Smell like??
You can buy this on eBay for $150.
What in the Sound of Music is this bs?
Does it smell like hollow fur and a bunch of tiny, bloody scratches?
This collect by Bath'n'Body Works does indeed make me wanna take a bath.
Coffee & Donuts - okay.
But Chips & Salsa? Popcorn & Slushie? PIZZA & RANCH?
GTFO and leave the door unlocked for the delivery man we just called.
Honorable mention for Holiday Dill-ight - which does indeed, smell like dill pickles, and Christmas?
These candle scents tend to hinge on positive memories from your last vacation.
Things like "Meet Me in Miami" or "One Night in Venice".
This one below is Branson, MO themed - but you can choose a scent such as "highfalutin" which is SCREAMING trash from the highest rooftop.
I love a collab, but what is the actual heck is a Stranger Things Candle?
Also I DO NOT want to know what Grogu smells like, for the love of the universe -- but they did a line of Mandalorian collabs including Bounty Hunter and Force Flow. (I'd guess Force Flow is a GASSY scent.)
This category of candles that astounds us - perhaps more than the rest combined.
Scents such as Suit and Tie.
A Calm & Quiet Place.
Bookloft.
Puppy After A Bath.
Okay, so we made up that last one - but the rest are totally real. Here are some other REAL honorable mentions in that vain.
Firecracker Pop.
Cherry Pipe Tobacco.
Beach Escape.
Leather and Lace.
Unicorn Farts.
Christmas Wish.
Faceted Succulent.
Inspire.
Hotel Lobby.
Over the River.
Snow Globe Wonderland.
Twinkling Lights.
Witches Brew.
