Scented Candles

What are your favorite scents? Do you have a particular brand you like?

I am not much for food or fruity scents but I love the ocean ones and florals - especially lavendar and hydrangea. I currently have and Ocean Breeze one burning (I bought from DDs fundraiser at school). Downstairs I have a couple of Yankee Candles - Fresh Comfort and Splash of Rain - I alternate those.

I love fruity scents like mango , papaya or pear as long as they are not too strong. I also have some Jasmine and peony scented ones that I love!

My favorite scent is vanilla although I like scents like cucumber melon, apple, etc.
I love Yankee candles

I love cinnamon scents in the fall and winter. Otherwise, I love lavender.

I'm more of a "real food" scent kind of gal

I like the pumpkin pie, lemon zest, macintosh, brown sugar & spice, etc. The flowery ones make me sneeze. Even the ocean/clean cotton types I can only tolerate for so long before my head wants to explode LOL.

I love cinnamon or berry scents. I also occasionally use cotton blossom (bath & body works). The flowery ones make me sneeze, too.

I love Vanilla!!

Coconut, cucumber melon, baked apple pie, banana nut bread, vanilla.

I like the Home Interiors baked apple pie candles - other than that all the ones I have are Gold Canyon candles and I am pleased with them. The scents I don't particularly care for are Yankee candles. So many people rave about them, but I just don't care for them.

I'm a partylite candle fan! I like scents that are fusions of thing one wouldn't think would go together; like grapefruit and hyacinth.

And I would have thought your favorite would be Freesia!

Yankee candles or Home Interior is usually what I get. Used to get some other brand that I can't find anymore that was muscadine and smelled sooo good. Just got a cranberry Yankee candle ( on sale as scent of the month) and I like it. Also mulberry is good , depending on the brand.

Home Interiors baked apple pie . I also like orangy /lemon scents.

I can't do the ocean sprays or linen scents either, makes me sneeze.

Also learned to not even bother buying candles from the dollar store. I buy lots of things from there, but the candles are a waste of money to me. They either don't throw out a scent or they have smelled icky when I've tried them. Plus Yankee's last longer I find.

I like blueberry by L&J Collectibles

I have a snickerdoodle one that I love and it is almost gone. Apple/cinnamon variations and tangerine and vanilla are also favorites.

I think my fav is cucumber melon, but I also love the food smells like pumpkin pie, apple, ect. Im not too much into the flowery ones. I dont have a certain brand I buy, but I DONT like the ones from the dollar store.

I love the apple scented ones, fresh baked apple pie, apples and cinnamon, fresh apple. I love them all. I also like the spiced scents throughout the holidays, cinnamons and cloves.
