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

Gasoline. Would kill to have a scent like it without the cancer risk.

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.

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!

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

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.

Vegemite. That first heady whiff of yeast and salt when you open a new jar.
i checked their website to see if these are real; disappointingly they are not. they do actually have a "conductor's coal" scent, though.

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.
