Despite Brits feeling the pinch this Christmas, Jeremy Clarkson has decided to more than double the price of a candle that smells like his bollocks.
When first launched from the Diddly Squat Farm Shop, the 40g ‘This Smells Like My Bollocks’ candle cost just £10.
Now, it’s being flogged with a not-so-festive £22.50 price tag.

This comes just days after Clarkson was slammed for charging more for Christmas beer at The Farmer’s Dog – his pub near Burford – with the Jeremy’s Lager: Great Farm Package on sale for £30.
The candle was Clarkson’s response to Gwyneth Paltrow’s notorious This Smells Like My Vagina candle, which was also launched in 2020.
He said at the time: “Just in at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop. Eat your heart out Gwyneth Paltrow.”
However, while the former Top Gear star’s candle was initially a comparative bargain compared to the £58 Paltrow was charging, it appears that even his unique scent can’t escape the claws of inflation.
The product is described as a “unique and leathery scent” of his car seat, “blended with hints of oakmoss and earthy spice”.
Apparently, “there is no other smell like this…. in the world.”
We bet.
The description adds: “Whether as a gift or a treat for yourself, this candle is sure to be a conversation starter.
“Light it up and let the good times roll, isn’t life too short for boring candles.”
So, what will it be? Expensive beer or a bollocks candle?
