My wife is a store manager for Yankee Candle Co. She's always bringing home candles with some nice scents but nothing I'd want to spend any money on. I keep telling her they need more macho scents, not more cucumber-canteloupe-lavendar style scents. So she asks me to name a scent that would be macho. Easy, I tell her, how about pine bench saw, you know the smell that lingers in the air after you've cut a large piece of lumber? That slightly burned wood smell? THAT would be an awesome smell. Gun oil would also be nice one. Come on guys, give me some more that I can introduce to her!
-
Freshly tilled dirt! Burning Rubber! or Alcohol (the fuel)!
Being that ive been raised around tractors and dirt track racing all my life, these come to my mind quick!
-
Used motor oil. Burnt rubber. Burnt avgas. Burnt metal....for that freshly-welded smell! :aok Fresh paint. Gun smoke.
-
Hey, that reminds me of a good one: Nitromethane, John Force signature edition!
-
Venison fart with a touch of ripe cheese.
-
Mud, new car smell, and Diesel!
-
If they manufactured a Hoppes cologne, all other colognes would go out of business.
-
red cedar, diesel, gas, cordite, flatulence, black powder burning, burning rubber on the asphalt, wet dog, wet bear, horse sweat, cowpies/meadowmuffins, hay, ragweed.
just a short list I'm sure you get the picture.
oh yeah the green smell of a skunk you sliced and diced apart with a disk harrow. whew what a stink.
lol 6 replies while typing.

Only one I've done to the wife who is huge into candles.
Ask her about this one:
"Dutch Oven Scent".
-
I would like one that smells like new mown grass.
How about one that smells like a sweaty stripper?
Maybe we could have a new car smell candle?
I have always enjoyed the smell of 100LL exhaust, or even fresh unburned 100LL.
Another favorite smell that would be good in candle form - the smell of gunpowder smoke you get from a shotgun? I love the smell of shotgun shell smoke in the morning!
Anyone ever make a chocolate smelling candle?
-
Cordite
-
well, very interesting....
We make Green Grass, smells like fresh mowed lawn.
We also now have a Chocolate Cupcake.
We have plenty that have that woodsy smell.
Funny thing, I know what the smell of welding is and instantly smelled it when I read that. lol

Cordite is a bit extinct, hasn't been made in years. Don't know what it would smell like.

How about the Scent of an R2800 firing up? :rock

I can't believe this hasn't been requested yet...
The smell of napalm in the morning (perhaps with an edge of salt water surf)

I like it
.....that gassy smell....it smells like......victory!
I'm suprised it took about 6 replies before BACON was mentioned!
-
I try to avoid food scented candles as all they do is leave you hungry all the time. Bacon would be a nightmare/dream come true scenario.
-
Gosh...now I've heard everything. Macho scents in candle form. Good Lord, what's the world coming to? :D

Leather- and it is already in Yankee candle.

-
Bacon

-

I agree with a couple of previous posts. Avgas would be a great one as well as Airshow. It could be a combination of smoked turkey legs, airshow smoke, babes wearin sunscreen and sweat. Plus you would have the great smell of the warbirds in there. Another scent that I always liked, was burnt RC aircraft gas. That hint of oil and burnt fuel is awesome. Would tick of the wifey, but who cares.
-
Campfire.
Lumber mill. Very distinctive smell if you've ever lived near or worked in one. Not on hemlock days though. Milled hemlock is a little too strong smelling even for most seasoned mill workers.
-
Can't believe no one has mentioned Jet A.
-
Nacho scent would be sweet :aok
