If you've ever wanted to gift someone a candle that smells exactly like gasoline, dill pickles, or farts — and we mean exactly — the Stinky Candle Company has you covered. This novelty candle brand has built a cult following for their hilariously accurate scents, earning press coverage from PopSugar, Thrillist, and even Jeremy Clarkson.

What Is Stinky Candle Company?

Stinky Candle Company creates novelty candles with scents you'd never find at a regular candle store. Their goal: make every candle smell like exactly what's on the label. They back this up with a 30-day money-back guarantee — because they're that confident in how accurately awful (or oddly nostalgic) their candles smell.

• Food & Drink — Dill Pickles, Fresh Bread, Bacon, and more food-accurate scents.
• Mother Nature — Potting Soil, Rain, Cut Grass, and outdoorsy aromas.
• Oddly Satisfying — Chlorine, Gasoline, New Car — the scents you didn't know you loved.
