Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn has taken the cinematic world by storm since its November 2023 release. The polarizing film, daring in its depictions of sexuality and inter-class tension, is part dark comedy, part psychological thriller, and part socio-political statement, and it has been compared to novels like Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, and Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley (which has also been adapted into two highly acclaimed films). Viewers tend to either love it or hate it, and people in the former camp often cite Jacob Elordi as part of their soft spot for the film. After all, fans have gushed over Elordi online since his steady rise to super-fame, lauding his looks, his acting chops, and his incredible taste in books.
The result of all this obsession? There’s now a candle called “Jacob Elordi’s Bathwater.”
