BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Fragrance What Candles do you Burn?

I burn Ravenwood Spa candles. I just became a consultant with them a few months ago and their candles are really nice. My favorite fragrances for candles are the florals..I enjoy amber as well, vanilla, mulberry, cherry, lavender...I am not too choosy lol but I don't care much for for citrus ,unless it's for my kitchen area.

I will burn whatever smells good to me. We do a secret pal thing at work and somebody bought me a chai tea candle that I adore! I also love many of the party light scents. Beeswax rocks.

A friend of mine makes candles, hers are by far my fave in scents, they do not always burn perfectly but she is learning and her price is right!

I don't like "fake" scents. You know the ones, the call them vanilla but the smell like... YICKKY! don't waste my time.

I, absolutely love Peach, Lavender, Snickerdoodle, and Mulberry. I order mine from Simply Scentful and The Hot Air Baloon Candle Co. out of Dayton, Ohio. I ran across their scents at a business while traveling and haven't found any better. I just love candles and soft scents.

I have a candle that matches my perfume and it smells great it is called beach passion by Sensual.

Have any of you ever tried soy wax candles?
Soy wax candles are made using a non-toxic, environmentally safe, completely biodegradable soy wax that will burn up to 30% longer than traditional paraffin wax. (Approximately 50 hours of burn time in a 6 oz. candle!) Our clean burning wicks contain no lead and leave no messy soot in your home. Jars can be washed clean with soap and water and reused. Paraffin wax is actually a crude oil derivative...that's why you get soot. Take a look here.... http://www.peeptoadhollow.com/soywaxcandles.htm

I just love lavender <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" /> and then vanilla and wild berry. At Christmas, candles have to have cinnamon in them

Walking & English Garden

I found a scented candle a while back that I love, it is Sweet Pea, it reminds me of my Grandmother as that was her favorite plant, and of course Lavender when I need to Calm things down. For up lifting Melon and cucumber. I of course use smudge when my house needs cleaning of bad ickys, my abosute fav. is sweet grass when you can keep it burning,
then of course the sage that I grow. My old stand-by tho is Cedar when I can find it, it reminds me of the Sweat Lodge.

fablefan... so do you partake in the sweat lodge? I don't know alot about it but was told of it by a friend some time back....

I like to burn candles, but my area I am in right now is not too big. I had the a/c on up until this week.... it was taken out for the season. Now I have the fans on and I find it difficult to burn them right now.

WHEN I do, I love Vanilla... forgot the brand name but I like the ones that burn within themselves, no messies! :-)

Yankee candle Company
Hazlenut Coffee
& Christmas Cookies (I think this was a limited edition, which drives me nuts, 'cause it was wonderful!)
& Candied Walnut

I made the mistake of getting the little wax melts to go into the container, but the 2 year old liked the smell of them so much he thought they were cookies! So I now have little teeth marks in all of my wax melts.

Me too! There's a local beeman who is a regular at the Saturday farmers' market who sells these fabulous handpoured beeswax candles. They release this wonderful homey, cozy essence into the air.
