There is something quite wonderful about finding the perfect scented candle.
Especially when the nights are dark and cold, and all we want to do is
snuggle up with a delicious-smelling candle flickering in the background.
However, deciding what scent to go for can be tricky: do you want a sunny
floral smell? Or a musky, woody scent instead?
Or, you could go completely left field and choose something significantly
more bizarre, like one of these head-scratching scents
1. The 2020 Scent
As we draw closer to the end of 2020, many of us will be looking forward to
putting this year behind us. If you, for some reason, wanted to remember the
smells of the year, youre in luck: theres a candle for that.

candle has layers of distinctive smells designed to sum up the year: banana
bread, hand sanitiser, DIY and wood musks and, finally, a budget aftershave
essence the brand thinks would be what Joe Exotic from Netflixs Tiger King
"would use to attract his next mate".
2. This Smells Like My Vagina
Gwyneth Paltrows Goop website went viral for selling a candle with the name
This Smells Like My Vagina. It admittedly raised more than a few eyebrows.
Candles tend to advertise as smelling floral or woody not like an
intimate body part.
However, the candle itself doesnt have too odd a smell as its made with
"geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose
and ambrette seed" pretty classic stuff for a scented candle.
The goop x Heretic candle is still available for purchase, costing £73 from
the <https://goop.com/gb-en/heretic-this-smells-like-my-vagina-candle/p/>
Goop website. You can also enjoy some of the other candles from the same
series, like This Smells Like My Orgasm or, This Smells Like My Prenup.
3. Concrete After Lightning
The prize for the most specific smell definitely goes to Brooklyn-based
brand <https://dsanddurga.com/> DS & Durga, who created a candle with the
scent of concrete after lightning.
If youre not entirely sure what that actually smells like, maybe the
candles description will help clear things up:
"Electric crackle, downpour, panic grass, sizzling asphalt steam. Respite on
muggy summer days."
Then again, maybe not.
4. Sweet Bunny Treats
Yankee is a leading scented candles brand, but they have occasionally
strayed off the beaten path when it comes to smells. If you wanted a
particularly niche candle for Easter, look no further than

Sweet Bunny Treats.
If you have no idea what sweet bunny treats actually smells like, this is
what Yankee says:
"The scent of mouth-watering vanilla cake topped with whipped buttercream
frosting, decorated like an adorable bunny to delight your Easter guests."
5. Quarter Pounder Candle Pack
If you are a McDonalds fanatic, you no doubt wouldve loved the scented
candles it brought out in February. McDonalds explained its thinking behind
the Quarter Pounder Scented Candle Pack, noting its existence was "because
theres no better smell than 100% fresh beef and a perfect combination of
toppings."
The candles were all separate, with flavours of beef, cheese, sesame seed
bun, onion and ketchup. If youre desperate to have your house smell like a
burger, we have bad news for you though: this was a limited edition run and
is completely sold out.
