You Can Now Buy A Canadian Tire Candle That Will Make Your Home Smell Just Like The Store

What do you think it smells like...?

If you've ever wanted your home to smell like a mix of tires, motor oil and burnt plastic – you're in luck!

A Canadian Tire candle that apparently smells just like the store itself is now available to purchase in Canada and no, we're not joking.

Right now, fans of the retailer can go online or head to their nearest store to get their hands on the unique, fragrant candle, which the company says has the "scent of a Canadian Tire store."

With an aroma described as "Canada's Scent," the candle is made with pure soy wax, has a cotton wick and is around 8 ounces.

While it might smell pretty toxic, Canadian Tire promises that the products have no phthalates or parabens. Oh, and it's vegan.

What's more, you can expect to burn the tire-smelling wax – which has been hand poured in Toronto – for up to 45 hours.

The product was initially launched earlier this year, when the retailer celebrated its 100th birthday in January.

Tweeting at the time, Canadian Tire said, "We all know how smell can trigger the best memories. So, to celebrate our 100th year, we did what many have been asking for. We’ve created a candle with our distinctive and memorable Canada’s Store scent. Yes. This is real."

While this was the first sniff of the Canada's Scent candle, it was unavailable to purchase at the time.

Instead, fans of the smell of motor oil and rubber were given the opportunity to win one of a limited-number of candles by sharing their "favourite Canadian Tire memory" – whatever that means – via social media.

However, just in time for the holidays, the unusual candle has become available for purchase and it could be that last-minute gift you've been looking for.

When Narcity got a sniff of the candle earlier this year, it was described by one reviewer as smelling like paint, rubber and "freshly-opened shipping containers." Yum.

However, the conclusion was that it does smell, actually, exactly like the store itself.

Online, the reviews of the candle have been mixed so far.

Of the two reviews posted on the Canadian Tire website, one simply says, "smells bad, kinda gross."

Another person, who seems happier with their purchase, wrote, "[The candles] have a very unique smell and kind of smell like a Canadian tire."

They added, "Wish it smelled more like tire or oil a bit. But otherwise pretty close nice candle."

So, if your home is currently missing the sweet, sweet scent of gasoline, plastic and rubber — you know what to do.
