‘Saltburn’ starring Jacob Elordi and Barry Keoghan has emerged as one of the most divisive films of 2023. Emerald Fennell’s directorial has some disturbing visuals that do not comply with any tropes in the film but aestheticize the bland screenplay. While there are many scenes to pick from, Elordi’s steamy bathtub scene had the internet in shock.
In ‘Saltburn’, Jacob Elordi plays Felix Catton, a rich brat who takes his friend, Olive Quick, played by Barry Keoghan, to vacation at his sprawling Saltburn property for the summer vacation. Felix seems to be a very pleasant person, but there are certain secrets that he keeps to himself. One of them is his masturbation session in the shared bathroom between them. Now, the cum-filled bathtub water in the film is a candle.

The first major pop culture moment of 2024 has been registered, and who better than Jacob Elordi to headline it? The ‘Euphoria’ star is on a roll with some interesting characters that he has played after the success of Sam Levinson’s teen drama. He played Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s ‘Priscilla’. Recently, he was seen in Emerald Fennell’s ‘Saltburn’.
In ‘Saltburn’, Jacob Elordi plays Felix Catton, a rich brat who has attachment issues as he is the heir of the sprawling Saltburn property. He invites different friends every year to spend summers with his family just to inflate his self-esteem, with the friends merging into his personality.
There are several grossly titillating intimate scenes in ‘Saltburn’, but the voyeurism scene with Barry Keoghan’s Oliver watching Jacob Elordi’s Felix masturbating in a bathtub is one of the top ones. Oliver watches with lustful eyes the sweat on Felix’s throat, his arm in motion, as he reaches to the zenith of orgasm. Later, Oliver enters the bathtub after Felix leaves just to sip the drain water, which is filled with his friend’s cum.
The shopping sites are trying to capitalize on that sizzling scene by introducing Jacob Elordi candles inspired by bath water. Etsy and Amazon are selling candles called ‘Jacob Elordi’s Bathwater’, hinting at the scene from his latest project. The former is selling it for $26, while Amazon is selling it for $36. It comes in vanilla, comfort spice, and sea breeze flavors. The netizens are taken aback by the new candles, and they disapprove of them.

The description of ‘Jacob Elordi’s Bathwater’ reads, “There’s nothing quite like the smell of a quality candle, particularly when that smell is inspired by Jacob Elordi and what we imagine His Highness to smell like.”
During an interview with Variety, Jacob Elordi’s co-star, Barry Keoghan, was asked about the candles. He said, “I already have 10 of them. They’re all burning at my house right now.” However, netizens are not happy with another cheap gimmick after a disappointing film.
