    Default Would like your input please

    I am starting a candle and bath products business soon. I would like some suggestions as to what kinds of scents you like. I already have a good list going but would like some input. What scents do you look for when you buy a candle? I personally love the bakery scents. I'm not too big on florals so I really need help with those.

    I like lily of the valley and can't find it any more I happen to love florals rather than the fruity smells.

    Fruits, spices and mints are my favs. I have a hard time with florals too. Vanilla is usually a big seller.

    Best of luck to you Jodi!

    I'm not much into the bakery scents, they always seem gaggy(not a word I know..lol). I like fruits, and berries and flowers.

    These are the candles I have right now, and I buy the same ones all the time. Baked Apple Pie ( I have 3), Banana Bread (1 big one in a jar), Vanilla (I have five of the round balls). I also love gardenia and lily of the valley too! Hope this helps

    I like a lot of scents but I choose what I have in my home by the season. During the fall/winter time I will burn spiced apple, cinnamon, harvest or pine scents. I like the lemon, melon, fresh smells or like the ocean scents. Ok - I like them all!! Good luck to you!!
