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.

                  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.

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

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

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

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

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

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