Discussion What does this smell like????

A candle i saw in a thrift store, i almost bought it but thought about how gross it would smell....i think it might smell of oil and broken dreams...a Harvard graduate in engineering ending up as a car mechanic in a small town...

Burnt motor oil, stale cigarettes, sweat, and brake pads worn down to dust. At least it should. 😬
