I always have one or the other burning. I love lavender and patchouli incense, sadalwood, jasmine...anything earthy. I love candles. I love the Yankee brand but they're so expensive. I found Tuscany candles at the store and they're just as good but a lot less expensive. I'm burning a lilac one now, but also love their cinnamon and lemon sugar cookie. empirecandle.com/tuscany-candle |

I prefer a more neutral smell, like vanilla. I don't like an overpowering floral aroma. I wonder if they make incense which smells like tobacco? Lol. Yankee had a line that was supposed to be more "masculine" to appeal to guys. I dig vanilla as well. Here you go. Buy it for Toasted 😜 www.ebay.com/p/23025535596 |

Cinnamon and vanilla are my favorite candle smells. I dislike heavily perfumed old ladies.

Citrus and Sage is one of my fav's. Do you burn the actual sage? |

I love floral scents so long as they are not powdery and smell like the flower they represent. I also tend to like, generally speaking, scents labeled rainy or woodsy. In the kitchen I like citrus and cucumber-melon scents.
We burn a lot of candles at my home!

Reed diffusers for me. 'Ocean' scented, or Lemongrass for a changeup.

I like Anthropoligie's French Cade Lavender candle, and Yankee Candle's Mediterranean Nights. Not overwhelming and very soothing. Those damned Anthropologie candles are up to $30 freaking dollars! I buy a supply twice a year during their big sales - Black Friday and the day after Christmass. I buy six to eight.

Great. I know what to burn now if Toasty comes over. Has some nutjob claimed it will kill you yet? I only did a Google Image search so can’t answer but now I’m wondering if cooking oil can kill you if you breath it in. We’ve all seen fire alarms go off when people are frying so that stuff must also get in the lungs.

If I were to burn one, something woodsy.

I love incense and scented candles but I have to limit my use of them because I have asthma. My favourite kind of smells regarding candles are vanilla and musk. Where I live, incense is used this way:
Most women here have a day to day burner, and a special occasion burner, for when there are guests. It is traditional in the Middle East to pass the incense burner around to all the guests in turn. The type with a lid are used to scent the hair and to put in clothes closets, etc. If you watch the video you will see that the small pieces of wood are the most expensive and these are used for when you have guests. We also burn frankincense.

I actually make and sell my own scented candles and bath gift sets with candles.
I am fine while making them, but if I'm in a closed room with one lit I do find they trigger my allergies (ie sore throat, headache). But similar things happened when I use essential oils in the diffuser also....
My favorite scents of my candles are:
Wedding Cake/Birthday Cake
Lavender Vanilla
Cinnamon Sticks
Pumpkin Crunch Cake
