I Know What Odell Beckham Jr.’s Jockstrap Smells Like And You Can Too — For $50

There are many things to thank Gwyneth Paltrow for, like making sure ’70s style tinted glasses remain forever relevant and reminding the world for decades now that there is a perfect shade of blonde. Goop’s lore is so rich you could (maybe) buy one of her coastal vacation homes with it — from sending the nation into a spiral simply by naming her firstborn and, of course, creating one of her controversial wellness brand’s most talked about items, the “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle. Gwyneth intended for the now discontinued candle, which carried notes of citrusy bergamot, cedar, and Damask rose, to encourage positivity around every inch of the female body instead of “actually smell[ing] like anyone’s vagina.” The Goop fan fave (which sold out multiple times despite becoming “a fixture around the internet and late-night shows”) unintentionally introduced a fresh genre of fragrances to the marketplace: candles that smell like famous people’s genitals.

In 2020, Gwenyth talked about the viral “This Smells Like My Balls” candle, crafted by a Canadian company in response to Goop’s pussy parfumeé (that’s loosely French for vagina-scented candle, ICYMI). She quipped it was more expensive than her criticized candle because of the wage gap (hey, you can’t ever say Goop doesn’t have jokes). Adam Carolla also sold a “Smells Like My Balls” candle, and after the homicidal sensation that was Saltburn, candles were created to evoke the BO of Jacob Elordi’s bath water.

Now, in the year of our Lord 2024, groin-forward aromatics are back in style, thanks to NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The older brother of Love Island USA season 6 certified cutie Kordell, has dropped a candle designed to give fans a “whiff of game day grit.” To add abs to injury, the six-inch statuette is a replica of OBJ’s bangin’ bod in a jockstrap, buttocks, and all. The candle promises the athlete’s “signature scent” as well as the “sexy musk,” “sweat,” and “adrenaline” that comes with life in the red zone. So, what does Odell Beckham Jr’s jockstrap candle actually smell like? Grab your nose and follow me for answers.

What Does Odell Beckham Jr.’s Jockstrap Candle Smell Like?

OBJ’s jockstrap, according to BetUS’ beeswax creation, smells like a heavenly walk through The Secret Garden: earthy and sweet, with a hint of citrusy herbs and the lightest touch of florals. The official notes are wood, citrus, amber, green lavender, and neroli flower. If this was truly the odor that came from professional athletes sweating between their legs, I’d sign up to be the team laundry girl ASAP, but much like Goop’s OG gamechanger, this candle is more about curating a sexy vibe than trying to stick up your living room with literal sweat. That being said, there is a salty finish to the scent that is sweat-adjacent enough to bring the whole sporty fragrance together.
