Favorite Candle Scent

megso16

Hey! It's been quite a while since I've posted anything here, but I'm back. When I first showed up, increasingly more frustrated by the lack of ring on my finger, everyone suggested a hobby. Knitting failed (arthritic hands just don't like it) and a job that demands 55 hour work weeks eliminated just about everything else. Somehow, collecting candles became the new thing. I know it's weird, I just can't dismiss the relief that occurs when a candle fills my house with a comforting scent. 

So, give me your favorite candle scents!

I love anything citrus, but my favorite is grapefruit. It's so refreshing!

I like Lavender scents and also any seasonal scent is nice! I just bought some Spring potpourri and I'm in love with it!

Fresh laundry (is that a scent??) is my absolute favorite. I usually buy candles like "fresh linen" or "seaside cotton". So good. I also really love anything that smells like vanilla

I tend to go for the "fall" scents, but my absolute favorite is Cranberry.

Other favorites are: buttered rum, mulled cider, anything pumpkin, maple, spice, Christmas cookie/sugar cookie

I usually buy a "seasonal" smell for main rooms, but when I'm over those I like clean, fresh scents. I love the eucalyptus mint from BBW.

I like foodie scents (Spiced Apple Toddy for winter, Pineapple Mango for summer, etc.)  A friend just gave me a Eucalyptus Mint candle that I love, and another friend gave me a blue candle from Anthropologie that is nice.  Not my usual smells, but I like them!

I like bakery scents and lavender scents. I don't normally burn candles though, I melt wax in a warmer instead. I've set off the smoke alarm too many times with candles lol.

I like this one haha. Holy its ginormous! Sorry! But really, I like food scented ones. Ie apple pie, baking cookies, that kind of stuff. SO got me some cookie type ones from bath and body works for xmas, and theyre awesome. The house smells so good when I light em!

My all time favorite scent is lemon cookie.  Anytime I have a candle or warmer with that scent I want to bake lemon something.  Other scents I love: pumpkin, cinnamon, peppermint, apple, vanilla, cupcake, cookies.

Anything with jasmine or orange blossom for me!

There's an Etsy shop that sells book-themed candles. I haven't tried one yet but I really want to order one! They have ones like Dumbledore's Office, The Shire, Ravenclaw Common Room. It sounds like a fabulous idea to me! Ordering one is my reward for reaching my next weight loss goal. I have high expectations so I hope they don't fall short!

Love the eucalyptus mint too! BBW is where it's at for candles. I went crazy at xmas and bought a couple dozen candles from there when they were on mega sale and I had coupons. Ended up getting the 3 wick candles for $5 each, down from regular price of $25 each. I tend to go with seasonal scents (marshamallow fireside, winter, and fresh balsam are great winter scents). Now that it's almost spring I'm breaking out cranberry peach bellini!
