    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
    • Do you like scented candles? Yes
    • Do you have a favorite everyday scent? In the winter, the Dipotyque candle that smells like burning wood.  In the summer, a pear scented one from Kiehl's.

    • Does FI/DH like them as much as you? He likes them way more than I do.  I think this is the first Xmas that I haven't bought him a scented candle for his stocking.
    • Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand? Anything too sweet or too strong I can't handle.
  • Do you like scented candles?
    Love them

    Do you have a favorite everyday scent?
    Mostly black cherry

    Do you have a favorite holiday scent?
    Pumpkin spice in the fall, lilac in the spring, evergreen or eggnog now

    What is your favorite brand?
    Yankee

    Do you burn them daily?
    Every other day or so

    Does FI/DH like them as much as you?
    Yep, he sometimes has them lit and going before I get home

    Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand?
    Def ones I can't stand....not a fan of any of the ones with names that don't have actual smells: "Blue skies"  "Autumn day" etc. "Ocean Breeze" was the most disappointing; it gave me a headache and smelled nothing like the ocean, beach, anything
    • Do you like scented candles?  Yes
    • Do you have a favorite everyday scent?  I really like Greenhouse by Yankee Candle, but it's been discontinued.  I also like Dune Grass or Clean Coton.
    • Do you have a favorite holiday scent?  I don't own any holiday scents.  Wouldn't mind a Christmas Tree scent.
    • What is your favorite brand?  Yankee Candle.
    • Do you burn them daily?  I try to, just because I have so many.  Plus, since the people upstairs moved in, I can smell their smoke in my kitchen (I think it has to do with the vent fan), so I burn a candle to try to cover that.
    • Does FI/DH like them as much as you?  I guess?  He's never complained.
    • Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand?  Oh there are definitely scents I can't stand.  I wouldn't want anything too sweet or too food-like.

    • Do you like scented candles? yup!
    • Do you have a favorite everyday scent? not really - we seem to get scents based on the time of year/holiday. 
    • Do you have a favorite holiday scent? more like seasonal scents. for fall it was farmer's market. winter it's christmas cupcake.
    • What is your favorite brand? yankee 
    • Do you burn them daily? yup.
    • Does FI/DH like them as much as you? he loves them more than I do. I don't mind, I just never used to burn candles like this before! 
    • Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand? we don't like anything too strong and apparently like food scents more than anything. I also agree on the scents that don't actually have a scent. I was totally disappointed in Yankee's Storm Watch. We pass the ones we don't like on to his mom :)

    • Do you like scented candles? Yes
    • Do you have a favorite everyday scent? Sunwashed Linen by Yankee Candle
    • Do you have a favorite holiday scent? I like the buttercream one by YC or the one I have now from B&BW, a shortbread one (smells lemony and deliciously baked)
    • What is your favorite brand? Yankee or B&BW
    • Do you burn them daily? Now that I have a vaulted ceiling in the kitchen and living room, it feels less stifling to do so
    • Does FI/DH like them as much as you? He likes to make the apartment smell warm and yummy, yes
    • Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand? I can't stand anything that has "winter" or "wreath" in the title, which = pine and cinnamon crap. Most apple or fruit-scented candles are too fake, and smell like Bonne Bell lipgloss. Anything too floral is no good either (for some reason "wedding day" scents always smell like cheap florals, why is that?).

    Do you like scented candles? - Yes, if they're good
    Do you have a favorite everyday scent? - I change with the seasons, so more summery scents, or autumn scents or whatever
    Do you have a favorite holiday scent? - For Christmas time, we burn Balsam and Cedar. It reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid and my dad would burn it.
    What is your favorite brand? - Yankee candle. The best!
    Do you burn them daily? - I usually try to burn them when we'll be home a lot, to avoid burning for 45 minutes at a time and then having to blow it out. So no, but usually we do on weekends, especially in the cold weather
    Does FI/DH like them as much as you? - Yes, he also grew up with Yankee Candles
    Do you like them all or are there certain scents you can't stand? I don't like Lavender, or some other florals. A nice vanilla always goes over well. Yankee's scents are usually fine. It's the discount candles you have to watch out for!

    Ok let me try that again...I forgot the copy paste function isn't working too well over here currently.

    Yes I love scented candles.

    I love vanilla or the kinds that smell like cookies. 

    Yankee or Glade.

    No.

    Yes, but he doesn't like the ones that smell like cookies.

    Pepperidge Farm makes candles and they smell like vomit. I was disappointed because I thought they would smell like Mint Milanos.
