I love candles. My favorite scent is roasted chestnuts. I recently tried Glade custard flavors and they are really nice, plus the jars make excellent juice glasses. :wave:

Yes I love them but have problems with getting headaches from the ones that have too much good smell.  I have to find ones that are suttle in smell.  Frebreez is the best so far for me.   Have the new glade  ones got a strong sent to them?  :thumbsup:

Yes, I Love the smell of candles. My favorite smell would be vanilla, strawberry, and cookie...I like the fruity smells, I can't stand to smell the ones that are too strong, but I love a candle that will burn for hours without going out. Candles to me are soothing, relaxing, and gives a good smell.

I love candles-I burned them every day.  My favorite scent is Jasmine plus I also make my own candles, so sometimes I combine the scents which are usually fantastic.

I love candles
I couldn't burn them for years cause I was married and my husband kept complaining.  Then after I was divorced, my daughter and I had 3 or 4 cats and we were afraid to.
Now I am husband/cat free and love my candles. 8)

Never use them.  They're nice and all, but I always worry I'll forget to blow them out and end up burning my house down.

they make candles now that are battery operated. they look/smell just like real candles but its just a light instead of a flame. totally safe!

   :)  During Christmas I buy Lancome gift sets with candles. If I check into a stinky hotel room, I light my candles to change the room atmosphere.

I love candles!   :star:  They are wonderful to have in the home and I try to use them when I can - they are relaxing and easy to use.  I think right now my favorite scent would have to be the fresh linen because it makes my home smell like i just cleaned it....even if I have not.  :)  Is that cheating?   :star:

Not just that, but I'd much rather burn and subsequently inhale a soy candle in my home than one obtained from petroleum products (paraffin).

I like candles but only if they're not too strong. I hate going into a house that uses them because everyone has different tastes and often than not I find myself smothered with an over-sweet smell or strong cinnamony/vanilla smell. :/

I use fruity scents like cucumber, citrus, melon, pineapple,etc and I absolutely love the Scentsy I won in a giveaway! I picked out cucumber lime and it smells DELICIOUS!

I love Candles. I buy the candles from Walmart, they have a nice variety of scents and sizes. I also buy the aromatherapy candles from Bath & Body, they're a little expensive but I only use them in the bedroom or when I take a relaxing bath.

Yes, especially when I'm trying to relax. Laying in a dark room with no light but candles is soothing.

We have candles and the only time we use them is to light up the house when the lights go out.

I used to but now I use Scentsy. It makes my house smell great! And since there's no flame I don't have to worry about forgetting it on. And now that I starting selling it I use it even more.  :thumbsup:

We love them but I hate spending money on the small ones that aren't very strong and only last a few days. It's better to spend $20- 30 for the big jars like Yankee Candle that burn for about 150 hours! Apple cinnamon is our favorite!

We have 8 cats so unless I want to babysit the candle, I do not light them.

I use candles from time to time vanilla candles are my fav! I get them for cheap or I make them myself! It's really easy!  But lately I have been using those battery operated airwik things they actually last a long time. I havn't changed mine in 2 months and have it going off every 2 hours.

LOL   I love candles, any kind.  When people ask me what I want for Christmas it's always candles.  Everyone says I'm so easy to buy for.  I burn them constantly in the Fall/Winter.

I love candles!  I have a vanilla cookie candle that smells just like cupcakes. Every time I burn it my kids want to know what I baked. I love apple cinnamon, grapefruit, watermelon and vanilla scents.  I even had one that smells exactly like a Christmas tree, not the fake pine smell.  My thought is that you can never have too many candles.

Yes, I do my husband smokes and we have a cat. I love the smell of candles, when you can found one that has a really has good smell.
I use candles for aroma therapy. I also light candles when a thunderstorm start brewing.
My Mom started this tradition of lighting a candle during a t-storm. So I have continued
this tradition today.  :)

I love the smell of candles! They smell so good and somehow have a great way of winding me down after a long day. I light a few candles and then just unwind. It's so relaxing!
