    What are your favorites?

    I don't like any that smell like food, other than citrus. No vanilla, no sugar cookie, etc. I love grapefruit scent, though!

    My favorites usually end up being the fresh linen type.

    And I'm a Yankee addict. Even though I live right down the street from the Root Candle headquarters. Shh.

    I like the ones that smell like the outdoors or laundry. Grass, cotton, etc....but not pine (unless it's Christmas).

    I like a clean, fresh smell. And I love my Scentsy!!! DH can't take a candle burning in the house and hates it when I blow one out because the smoke just gets him so the Scentsy has really helped with that. Oh, and its just so darn pretty too! LOL

    i loooooooove scented candles and scentsy - i always have one going :) my favorites used to be citrusy ones, but i'm starting to like things that are a little more masculine/woodsy too ... my very very very very favorite it toasted marshmallow (or something like that? marshmallow fireside?) at bath and bodyworks (a fall/xmas scent) - sooooo good ... i get a lot of candles from them (can't remember the candle brand name ... )

    My very favorite ones are fr Gold Canyon Candles. I love orange vanilla, fresh linen, piña colada, etc...

    During winter I love the balsam one from bath and body works that smells like Christmas trees, and winter cranberry scented ones. I love the salted caramel and other food type ones during the fall/winter months.

    I don't like grapefruit scented anything, and some of the woodsy ones are just too earthy smelling for me.

    I don't have anything from Scentsy. I think that's just becoming popular in our area because I'm just now starting to even hear about it.

    My favorites are from Bath and Body Works. I love the Vanilla scented one they do at Christmas and I also love watermelon and pretty much any fruity smells. They also have their Wallflowers which are glorified plug-ins and i love their Fresh Linen or Fresh Cotton (can't remember the exact name) It smells like clean house or fresh laundry or something, but just love that one!

    I'm a Scentsy girl! I like all the food ones Angie hates, lol! I love sugar cookie, pumpkin spice, etc.

    I also like strawberry and citrus ones too. I burn Scentsy candles almost every day! :)

    Yankee is awesome, I used to do them for years and years before I switched to the Scentsy way of doing candles.

    I do think Yankee is the very best for traditional candles!

    I love Scentsy too. I'm not a fan of anything too sweet or floral, not a fan of the bakery scents. I like a lot of spicy scents like Wasabi Ginger, White Clove & Pepper etc. Renee, I love the Spiced Grapefruit too, I have four cubes left I've been saving LOL I usually stick with the clean,spa scents though. I'm going to go switch out scents now LOL

    We don't do a lot of candles around here. DH doesn't like a lot of 'stink' (except his own --- ha ha!) hanging around. :giggle

    My very favorite (which I hope they still make) is 'the boy candle' (what my friends and I called it in college) from Yankee. It's navy blue, and I think it's Midnight Something. It smells just like men's cologne, and oh, I love it so.

    I like candles scents that are more fruity than flowery, but I hardly ever burn them. I am super afraid of fire.

    We don't really have candles around. If we have anything with a scent, it has to be fairly mild because I get headaches from smells. I use fresh linen plug-in things because they don't seem to bother me so much, or I can use Downy-scented Febreeze or orange/peach too. DH doesn't really like smelly things either, so I guess we're a good match in that department. :)

    I love food scented candles! My very favorite is a Pepperidge Farm Chessman candle! Yummy. I also love the cinnamon bun one I have and the mint chocolate chip ice cream one I have. I don't like ones that smell very perfumey or anything that smells like trees. The tree ones turn my stomach. Ugh. I escecially love fruity ones and baked goods, oh, also vanilla of course!

    I wish we had all those brands here :( I miss Yankee candles and Bath and Body works. I am saving my money for a Diptyque candle but choosing my favorite is hard.
