So, who likes them? What kind (brand) and scent is your favorite?
Right now mine is "Christmas Cookie" by Yankee Candle.
I like pretty much anything with vanilla in it.
My absolute favorite of all time is one called "Noel". It's Fragrance Originals by Mrs Baker, someone gave it to me, and I can't find them anywhere,  I need moooore.

Don't have a favourite brand, but vanilla is definitely my favourite scent. I quite like lavender, too.
The cinnamon candle I got for Christmas was a nice holiday scent

I had one that was Banana Cream Pie, but it broke. I couldn't find it in any store so I looked on eBay. It is considered rare and sells for around $25!

I like nearly all the fall scents (pumpkin!) and those "clean linen/cotton" ones.

I like scented candles a lot. Light floral scents are really nice, but I like vanilla and yankee's buttercream frosting one a lot.

YEah, the light floral ones are nice. I think those are the only ones I TRULY like. Mom has some laying around Vanilla, and cinimon or something, not many, because they both cant stand the strong scented ones, or a large ammount of it. I suppose the Vanilla ones are ok

The pumpkin scented ones are lovely this time of year, but my mom doesn't like them because the sent of cinamon gives her a baaaaaad headache.

I like Vanilla or Cinnamon or one of the rain/ocean/fresh type smells, fig, lilly of the vally. Even in those scents some candles are too strong and make me a little nausiated, but if they aren't to sweet and not too strong I like those.

I got one called Jack Frost (Yankee). It smells really good. Kind of Christmasy. A bit of peppermint.

So i went back to the apple orchard on friday, and bought that one that i liked so much!! I started to burn it tonight and omg it burns fast! That's one thing about candles. I hate the ones that just disappear in a matter of seconds! I really do love the glade scented candles! Those smell SOOO good, and last forever!

I don't particularly like scented candles. Might be because I really hate artificially scented things. They always smell kind of sickly sweet to me...

I really like scented candles but we can't burn them in our dorm. For some reason they think college kids will set things on fire. Oh.. that's nonsense
