Favorite Candle Scent?

[DiaperedDarkElf]

I was in chat this morning talking about my favorite candle scent. Mine is a pretty niche but I absolutely love this one from The Magic Candle Company that replicates the smell from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Disney Parks. I can't describe it other than a mixture of like a burning mixed with like a musty ocean scent. I also have been seeing a lot of "nerd candles" on Etsy of people theming them to things like D&D with ones like "Enchanted Forest", to even video game ones such as a "Mario Kart Rainbow Road" candle.

Usually when I write or work on art stuff, I treat myself a little and light a candle. I have been thinking of buying some more, and figured it would be a fun topic to ask the community. Do you all have any favorite candle scents you look for? Vanilla, cedar wood, sandalwood, lavender, citrus, ext.? Would love to hear some of yours!

Ah favorite candle scents....I got a list miles long. 😁

Fall scents are my absolute favorite. It's also my favorite season (which is probably why half my stories are set in the fall lol! And why I have so many Halloween stories compared to other holidays).  

My two top scents are: a chai scented candle and Magic In The Air. (Got a candle and 2 body sprays)

Most of my favorite candles come from Yankee Candle, Bath and Body Works, and Hobby Lobby. Marshmallow fireside- sweet and smokey at once Ive gone through like 3 large candles in 2 years lol. Autumn Leaves. Harvest. Spiced cider. All the pumpkins and pumpkin spice and apples and apple spice and apple pumpkin spice. All the fall things. (Seriously I went through like 5 large candles last fall. 🤣). I buy candles when they go on sale/ clearance. I already stocked up for next fall. 

Christmas/ winter- sparkling snow, fresh snow, peppermint twist, winter candy apple, vanilla bean, sugar cookie, snowflakes and cashmere, red apple wreath, a bunch of apple and cinnamon ones. And all the fir/ christmas tree scents. 

We totally need some ABDL scents like clean nursery or baby powder or fresh diaper. (And there's gotta be some jokes about used diapers in here somewhere lol!)

Flame + all natural gas= a great way to blow up the house. Metaphorically or literally. 😂

Nobody mentioned bayberry?  OK, I will. Bayberry is my favorite.

My wife says yes she would agree with this candle...

Candles with lavender, chamomile, baby lotion and other scents that have a calming effect on my body, brain and cardiovascular system.

I worked with someone decades ago who made candles and she had one that smelled like fresh cut grass. My wife is pretty sensetive to smells but we always have some cinnamon scent in the home over the Christmas holidays.

Have any of you tried essential oils and if so, how do you like them?

But why the Sterno cans?   

[dondl2]

chances are the cost less than glass containers with lids and labels. Also they don't worry about bad pours showing through the glass.
