Favorite Candle Scent

[Mithrea]

What is everyone's favorite candle scent?

[WandererInGray]

*chuckles* You may as well ask me which I like more, breathing or having my heart beat!

Here's the top five....in no particular order.

1. Illumination's Lavender (it's got a nice sweet smell)
2. Vanilla
3. Anything citrus
4. Energy and Will candle (frankensence, myrrh, and dragon blood)
5. Illumination's Goddess candle Sarasvati (clove and something else I'm not sure)

[Flaire-FireStar]

:D Interesting question.. I like Blueberry, cinnamon, pine, grapefruit & dewberry. Dewberry would have to be my fave though.

[Dellit Tandannon]

mmmmmm sandlewood!

[Rubi Waters]

vanilla
sage
eucalyptus
those are the top 3 .. in no particular order..depends on my mood.

[Earthcup]

This is a silly name but: Women's Rescue, a pink jasmine type candle that's very soothing.....

I also like mints, lavendars, honeysuckle and anything by the Yankee Candle Company!

[materra]

sandelwood, lavender, citirus, rose, no vanilla, too sweet and gives me a headache. :sunny:

[SimplyStrange]

Vanilla.... that's my favorite smell :p Well, aside from Rain, but I haven't ever smelled a rain candle... do they make candles that smell like rain? That's the best smell :)

[Lavender]

I love all different scents but it would depends on my mood. Right now, I think my all time fav would be plain old beeswax. I love the honey scent from a pure beeswax candle.

[flar7]

Jasmine. Vanila. Wildflowers. Forest.

[Myst]

I'm a total vanilla candle freak.

But in incense I love vanilla, cherry, nag champa, and dragon's blood :)

[Mnemosyne]

I too love the scent of vanilla candles.

[Rubi Waters]

Oh here i thought i would be considered boring for liking vanilla... thanks to many I know I'm ok now :bigredgri

[Mithrea]

Everyone I know either loooves Vanilla or says it gives them a headache. I'm both :)

I also like sandalwood, cinnamon and grapefruit but my all time favorite (oh so ashamed!) is the Baked Apple Pie scent by Home Interior! Can't live without those. Everytime someone goes to one of those parties they buy them for me :D Yummy.

[Sirrius]

Pine/Hemlock (ahhh, the smells of home) and vanilla, definitely.

[Mystic Wolf]

I personally only buy unscented candles... That way I can put whatever oil on them that suits my mood at the time.

[PeleRising]

My favorite candles are all ones by the dragonfly aromatherepy company... fav scents are.... lemon... Sierra Pine... lavender...dalmation sage... and hot chocolate....

:D

[Sequoia]

hehe I usually buy wisteria-scented stuffs. . . although I found the most MAGNIFICIENT combonation on earth!! I don't remember what company it is (they're local, anyway), but it's a SAGE AND WISTERIA candle!! OMG IT'S HEAVENLY I LOVE IT!!! :D!!!

[Mnemosyne]

Even though this thread is on candle scents, I was wondering whether you guys usually prefer to use scented or unscented candles.

[Radocs]

I prefer unscented candles myself although I found some apple cinnamon ones that weren't bad, mostly because they aren't terribly strong.

Scented...totally ~ I cant' stand unscented! :bug:


:mmm: Add peppermint onto my list of fave candle scents! (Thanks, Jade! :cutie: )

[Mnemosyne]

That's nice. Most of the scented candles that I have a nice subtle smell. However, we all have different opinions on what smells nice. For that reason, I usually use unscented candles when others are around.

[Flaire-FireStar]

That's true too....When I have guests over, I'd be using some of my unscented (usually fancier) ones, but when I'm alone doing whatever, I use my scented ones. ;)

[Psyche Ague]

I'd have to say just about anything that smells good (especially pine, anything with "ocean," "sea," etc in the name, and stuff like that) except food candles (like vanilla, berries, etc). I'm one of those people that hates (!!!) vanilla candles.

[Flaire-FireStar]

;) You're not the only one, Psyche Ague!


Though I do have 2 of them, you can't even tell that they smell like vanilla (they're more like..unscented!)

[Sowelu]

COCONUUUUUT!!!! Jade loves anything with a good coconut scent:D

[shnen]

Oh to choose... can't choose... ugh, love lavender, rain, the peach one Jade sent me :), vanilla, pretty much all of them, cinnamon... ugh, too many to list, gardenia, not a fan of rose, at least the cheap ones smell pretty bad, ummm... yeah, will add on later :):)

[Azure]

Hey, JadeDragonfly, have you tried Bath and Body Works Creamy Coconut lotion???

Candles - I buy lots of Yankee Candle votives and try to chose scents in relation to color if they are to be used for any ritual purpose.

Some favorites though:
Violet and Birch, Midsummer's Night, Vanilla Cookie, Honeydew Melon; Spiced Pumpkin; Stargazer Lily.

[Sowelu]

(Azure)...Bath and Body Works???? Do they have a website????

[Sowelu]

If me gets business loan, I can make any candle (scent) imaginable.
There's even a candle scent called "Monkey Farts"....(I would imagine that would smell like bananas???):D

[Azure]

Bath and Body Works probably has a website, but they are all over in malls. . . I'll look for a website, though.

[Chibi-Fallon]

A good french vanilla and lilac. ‘Nummy. :hearteyes
A "Monkey Farts" candle might be cool. I'd want one.

[Flaire-FireStar]

Monkey Farts, Jade? :rotfl::rotfl: You'll have to send me that one next! :crylaugh:

[Sowelu]

Will Do!:thumbsup: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Flaire-FireStar]

[Sowelu]

[Flaire-FireStar]
