For the last couple days my husband has suffered from a major case of a@@ rot. Therefore I've had to burn some candles to keep from losing taste buds and my sense of smell. Tonight I lit a new candle I purchased at the awful Walmart. It's Glades Clean Linen. It smells alot like Clean Cotten from the Yankee candles, which is my all time favorite candle scent.

So what scents do ya'll like?

i LOVE yankee candles, most others do not deliver as promised. they're a bit expensive, but i will go out of my way to get them. have you tried burning the tarts instead of the candles? they are fabulous. my favorites are the christmas ones, but i also love some of the florals. don't like the fruits.

I've never tried the tarts. I have some just haven't burned them.

I have one candle that smells like cotten candy. I can only stand it for a little while, cause then I start craving cotton candy.

Oceana fragrances, spicey, lavendar, 'linen', citrus.....frankincence, petchuli,

Don't like fruity smells...peach, strawberry etc and don't like vanilla.

Marks and Spencers did a room spray that smelt of freshly mown grass but I think it's discontinued.

We have Yankee Candle shops over here....I love walking in the door ...enjoy the sights and smells.

I burn more incense than candles....I've learned that the cheap ones are smokey and smell like bonfires, so I buy dearer ones now that are 'low' smoke.

French vanilla.

I use scented candles all the time when I am home, they are wonderful, especially in the wintertime when you can't open the windows for fresh air.

I'm currently using one that is "ouzo" scented, it doesn't smell like the drink though but it is nice!

The last one was honeydew, I like nice light scents.

I like the ones like banananut bread and such for my kitchen. Makes everything smell like my grandma's kitchen.

Spiced pear that I get from the dollar store. Although now that I'm working again, I'll be hitting the Yankee candle store.
