Do you love them / hate them / indifferent?

Do you burn them or just buy them and put them everywhere? :whistle

What scents do you like?

I have several around the house. Rarely burn them, mostly because I don't think to. I lean toward the clean scents like fresh linen and whatnot, or citrus. I hate the ones that smell like food such as cake or cookies or vanilla or cinnamon rolls - pretty much anything food aside from citrus. Not sure why. I also don't like heavy florals.
 
LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!! scented by Glaid or Air Wick, but the one we love the best is Febreeze only it is extremely expensive....but whenever on offer we get it
scents we love is fresh laundry/cotton candy, the vanilla one is absolutely gorgeous but makes me hungry LOL and there are so many I can't think of the names now...yeah, definitely love them!!!!
 
I lean towards the citrus scents too, but pretty much the only time we light candles is for a birthday or during a power outage, because they make me paranoid that I'm going to burn the house down!
 
i hate candles just cant be bothered with them and if we have a power cut i have to hunt for some in the dark
 
I don't have candles but we do scented oils in an oil warmer. Mostly oils from B&BW. I love citrus scents mainly. And lilac. In the fall I like spice ones or "autumn leaves" type things, and winter usually lends way to pine-type scents. In our Wallflowers around the house I like Limoncello and Sicilian Lemon.
 
I used to love candles, but I'd buy them and then only very rarely light them. Now I'm in love with the wallflowers by Bath and Body Works because they last so much longer and are continuously smelling good without me having to remember to light them and more importantly remembering to blow them out too!

I love the fresh linen and cotton scents and I also love apple (or any fruity smell) and they had one in the fall called Creamy Pumpkin that is my all time favorite.
 
I am another of the i have them, love them, but never light them - afraid I will burn the house down - I think I am going to try an electric warmer with the little scent bead type things - I might be able to handle those!

Looooove Creamy Pumpkin!

I have the Apple car scent thing in my car from B&BW. It's a perfect car scent. There weren't any apple Wallflowers when I was in last, though. I have a few apple scented oils, though. Yum.

Oh! I don't know about car scent thingies! Might have to check those out next time I go to BBW.
 
The aromas of my house are beyond candles! I have 2 teen boys that I swear their odors crawl down the hallway and strangle strangers, cause their dead bodies are rotting. My girls in size 10 and 11 shoes are runners, and they aren't even allowed to have their shoes in the house! Thier socks too!
I have 2 bed wetters, and run my carpet cleaner weekly! The scent of bleach is probably my favorite, next to a fresh pot of coffee!


Candles? I think a bonfire might work better!
 
I don't do much for candles anymore, I had a tendency to leave them burning.

I do love Scentsy though. My favorite is Luna. In the fall I love Honey Pear Cider or something like that, and I love the Apple Press one too. Aside from that I don't like food smells. I have a Luna tag thingie in my car and it makes me super happy. Cuts the Gus smell. ;)
 
I love candles in the fall & winter months. I can't do florals or musky or linen-like smells as they give me headaches. But I love PUMPKIN, Apple cinnamon & EVERGREEN/PINE! Those are my hands down favorites. I can do fruity too.

We have a scentsy knock-off from my MIL. I put it in the basement, b/c it can smell musty pretty easily.
 
I love the ones that smell like berries or melon...anything fruity. I don't like floral or baked goods! But the whole thing is really moot because with two rowdy kids, a cat, and a clumsy Great Dane I am terrified to burn candles! I was actually thinking of pulling all mine out to sell in a yard sale this weekend!
 
I have several and sometimes remember to burn them. :) My favorites are pumpkin, pear, honeydew and jasmine. And I do have an evergreen that I really like at Christmas time.
 
Gosh, we buy them 4 at a time at my house. It's rare for me not to burn something. Yankee candles are my favorite, but pricy. B&BW are a good second choice. They had a clove cinnamon last holiday season that was to die for. Pumpkin, Christmas cookie and things like that are our favorites.
 
I prefer scented oils,
you'll always find an Old Yankee car freshener
hanging somewhere on my dashboard, I use them
for stocking stuffers every year too :)
 
I love anything that makes our house smell lovely. Candles and warming oils especially. I prefer fresh smelling things unless it's autumn and winter time in which case I am gaga for scents that make it smell like the season...creamy pumpkin, autumn, fresh balsalm at Christmastime... :beat

Bugga loved picking out a fun holder for the car scents at B&BW..we have the apple scent in there right now too.
 
I love candles but the only time I seem to remember to light them is at Christmas time...
