You can buy a jockstrap candle that smells of ‘sweat’

An unlikely new jockstrap candle is offering people the chance to unwind with the scent of… a sweaty locker room?

If you’ve ever lit a scented candle and thought: “This is nice, but fresh linen and sea salt isn’t for me, I’d rather have something sweatier, sexier and thirstier,” then this one’s for you.

Launched by BetUS, the candle is shaped like a torso wearing a jockstrap and encourages users to bring “the invigorating locker room stench right into your own home”.

Available in both brown and pale blue, the candle’s “stench” actually consists of signature notes of wood, citrus, amber, green lavender and neroli flower – and the sexy musk of a successful game day.

Andres Vargas, the head content editor at BetUS, said: “One sniff, and you’re transported to the heart of the stadium: the roar of the crowd, the smack of helmets, and the undeniable intensity of the moment when everything’s on the line, all in your very own home.” 

The jockstrap candle is available to buy for $50 (£38), plus post and packing, here.
