New Mac-scented candle reportedly smells like a standard candle

The New Mac Candle is a hand-poured, 100% soy 9-ounce candle offering 45-hours of burn time with notes of mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin and sage. It’s $24.

Here it is reviewed by staff at The Verge, who all have different opinions on what it smells like, until they’re told what it’s supposed to be, whereupon they agree it smells nothing like a new Mac.

I remember distinctly the scent in question: notes of adhesives and hot-pressed cardboard with a delicious aftertaste of styrene. Maybe the candle smells like a New Mac if you poured an artisanal cocktail on one?
