Can you even remember what a new Mac smells like?

Is it distinctive? Does it have something unique about it? Or is that smell merely the result of your excessive excitement at buying one?

I only ask because Twelve South, which makes Apple accessories, has released something called the New Mac Candle.

It's made of 100 percent soy wax. I assume that's a good thing. You, though, will be wondering what a new Mac smells like. In candle odor terms, that is. New Macs smell of mint, peach, basil, lavender, mandarin and sage, according to Twelve South.

What does a new PC smell like? And thus, a new meme is born...

  If it was 100% wax it wouldn't have a smell

  Hot liquid wax smells greasy to me. Do new macs smell like grease? New rifles smell like cosmoline which is just grease with some anti-corrosion additives, so its not ridiculous to think new computers might smell greasy.

  Last new Mac I unpacked smelled of styrofoam... of course, this might date me.
