Mainstays Soothing Spa. Later in the fall I will get into cinnamon and apple spices.

Bath & Body Works "Bamboo", so clean & crisp!

Yankee Candle Macintosh is the only scent I buy. I like that it is lighter and not overpowering and doesn't get an off smell after burning. Since I mainly burn candles during storms and power outages, it's comforting.

vanilla, or lemon

I have to detour around any Yankee Candle outlet at the mall.......it stinks!! Strong, cloying scents give me a headache. I prefer very light floral scents, so typically go with a citrus or lemon verbena fragrance, although the 'spiced pear' that Pier One offered (now discontinued) was my favorite.

Whiskey.

I would have to say Bayberry. But I can't have any scented candles in my home. I have asthma. Not a bad case, but the scented candles seem to be one of my triggers. I feel like someone's sitting on my chest and then I start the hacking. Such a shame.

It depends on my mood. I have chocolate cake candles, vanilla,grapefruit,strawberry lemonade,etc. I also like fresh,clean scents and fruity stuff. The only thing I really dislike is the florals.

I only burn candles when the power goes out though. The candle smoke when you blow it out kills any smell good that the candle produces. (Although if the candle has a lid,instead of blowing it out,ill just put the lid on to smother it out and avoid the smoke.)A few years ago,SO bought me a scentsy warmer, and I make my own wax cubes to melt and sell. I have over 30 scents, and like all but maybe 5 or 6 of them. The only one I still buy is the bath and body works black cherry merlot melts,because I can't seem to reproduce it. Right now,my house smells like brownies,and I haven't baked in months. The smell of chocolate makes me happy. I'm looking forward to fall and Christmas scents too. My favorite time of year,in fragrance form. :)

NONE! ! ! ! Scents, whether from candles, perfumes, after shave, laundry products, deodorants, air fresheners, whatever, trigger severe headaches that often morph into full blown migraines.

In some ways, it's a good thing, it keeps me out of many stores where I might be tempted to buy something if I were to go in them. :^) But I've also had to leave a grocery store because of shoppers that seem to take a bath in cologne right before they came to shop. Avon products are the absolute worst there is for my poor sensory organs.

But it seems like, as I age, I'm not as sensitive to smells as I used to be. That is a very good thing, especially when eating out and someone is seated at the next table that bathed in perfume.

And that's a whole lot more than you wanted to know when you asked the question. . . . . .

LOL!! probably a good thing for the candle manufacturers we all like something different :-)) Other than the citrus or light fruit/floral scents I mentioned, I don't want anything that smells like food - no vanilla, no apple pie or pumpkin, no chocolate or brownie scented candles for me!! Those are the ones that seem to have an overpowering aroma to my nose and will immediately generate a headache.......they smell like a cheap room deodorizer.

Isn't it interesting gardengal,how people have such different tastes? Anything floral gives me a headache,and although I like some grapefruit candles,most citrus scents remind me of an industrial restroom disinfectant I used to use when I worked at subway forever ago. I will admit though that the chocolate ones give me a craving for chocolate,but luckily I have no qualms about indulging them. :)

I've actually found it fascinating when I'm letting people smell the wax cubes,and the same scent will invoke such differing reactions in people.

I like so many, it's hard to choose just one...right now I'm using the pumpkin spice Yankee candle.

I hadn't been in the habit of burning candles....even in something decorative and protective they always flickered in my former house - my heat pump, whole house fan and air cleaner.

No heat pump in this house. My nephews wife did give me a Party Lites melts set and I do like any of the citrus scents and lemon grass. Another I really enjoyed was Homemade Cookies (sorry Gardengal) but its now discontinued. I'd assumed French Vanilla would be nice, I enjoy French Vanilla ice cream in my spoon - in the candle scents it was cloying, too much.

hey - no apologies necessary!! If you like it in your house, that's all that matters :-)

Anything Christmasy. I sell Avon and they have a spiced wreath candle. OMG, it smells delicious!

I rarely burn candles, hubby doesn't care for them. But I do like scents like Linen, Grapefruit, or Orange. Not so much with the food scented ones, they seem heavy to me. And I absolutely HATE the ones that say they smell like the beach.

No scents. Especially no food-type scents. Gives me a headache.

At Christmastime I will burn a Yankee candle "pine" or something like that for an hour or so when I have my tree up. One other exception: once in a great while I'll burn something like "fresh linen" or "sunshine." But no longer than an hour.

No scented candles here! Like some others, they trigger a terrible headache.

None here either. Scents get to me but they really bother hubby, so we avoid scented products of all kinds. Even my lotions, soaps and shampoos are unscented. On the rare occasion that a scented product makes it into our home, hubby usually notices before it's even taken out of the shopping bag!

None. I don't burn candles because of the boys but I still wouldn't like scented ones nor do I like room fresheners except a bowl of baking soda with a few drops of essential oils once in awhile. Even perfume is a once a year wear. I'm boring.

any fall scent...cinnamon mixed with anything always works for me... i have a warmer and put the tarts in it... love it and no flames!!

I like almost any scented candle, but my favorite is natural beeswax. Smells like honey.

Another vote for Yankee Macintosh! Around Christmas I also like some of the pine and balsam ones.

I do not wear anything scented because I am allergic to bee stings. But love scented candles. I like vanilla cupcake & apple pie.

I don't burn candles and like others, I'm sensitive to fragrances. I put unlit candles in a place where the sun will hit them. As they warm, you smell the barest trace of scent when you pass...just right for me. I enjoy citrus like Jo Malone Grapefruit.

Unscented, battery operated. I'm sensitive to the scents as well as the smoke from a wick. And a friend's house burned down via a lit candle, so I'll never light one again - except on a cake.

'vanilla

Yankee Candle Autumn Leaves is an old favorite; and I am really enjoying their new Honeycrisp Apple Cider.

I used to love Yankee Candle, but I feel that their scents don't have the staying power that they used to.

My daughter got me a ceramic plug in type thing that you put water and oils in that I really like. The scent depends on my mood.

I have lavender oil that I put on my pillowcase for sleep.

And I wear a Vanilla scent that I get TONS of compliments on.

Y'all are making me want to drag out the candles. I've been using my Scentsy or aroma diffuser. For candles, I tend to like either vanilla or patchouli.

Only at Christmas, and only pine, if it smells real. Most of them smell fake. I have one that I ration, because it smell exactly like a Christmas tree.

Otherwise I am in the camp of no scents. They don't give me headaches or anything, I just don't want to smell something all the time.

I much prefer candle light without scent. Way to much scent in them scented candles for me.

Moni

Unscented. I have gone to battery powered candles for the most part. Don't care for fake smells like apple, vanilla, and such anyway, especially in candles. I have to hustle past the candle section in Bed Bath and Beyond as it's awful to me.

I do have a few jar candles that were given to me that I like. Can't remember the fragrances at the moment and I'm not home, but they are clean scented. I burn them occasionally in the kitchen when cooking something with a strong odor (fish, Brussels sprouts for example) and it helps.

Lavender or pine. I started the pine at Christmas but like it all year -- it's a "clean" scent (and in January or February you can get them really cheaply -- enough to last a year!)

I had forgotten about the beach scent candle. Mine smelled just like the Coppertone I used as a teenager...it took me back.

Mulbery

Ditto here, no scents permitted in our house, not candles or anything else. Fresh air only.

Plain old paraffin candles if there's going to be candles burning. I can't handle the stench. Scented candles make me choke, cough and gag. There's something in there that just does it to me. That can't be good for you. Decades ago I had a black cherry scented one that I used during a power outage and the smell was pleasant but the fumes had me hacking. This is a stench-free zone these days.

natural beeswax

I don't mind beeswax candles at all but don't buy them; makes me nervous that I might forget to extinguish one. I have flickering battery candles that are used on our patio and screened porch.

Dinner table is graced by scentless, dripless, ivory tapers.

I like to burn candles....I just don't like them too strong. I have a thing for jars they come in...I save them but never know what to do with them.

A few years ago at Christmas, DH gave me a pink salt candle holder--- basically a big chunk of salt with a hole drilled in it for a tea candle. That's my favorite to use with an unscented candle. Gives off really nice light, and I've heard some people claim that there are health benefits to the heated salt--- don't know if I believe it though.

One of my friend's daughters was selling yankee candles for a school fund raiser and I bought what I'm pretty sure was Luscious Plum. Those smell so good!
