I find clove candles often overpowering. Something gentle is better!

I’ve tried a number of different products including the oil diffusers and plugs ins as a way to get away from the open flame of a candle. I can’t break the habit. Candles are still the best scents and the longest lasting. I’ve recently switch to Soy candles. The burn clean. My recent discovery is Sydney Candles. I like them so well, I’m promoting them on my website at http://www.MadeByYankees.net

I really think I’m done with all of the other scent gimmicks….

I just found Scentsy burnless scented wax. It’s a light smell when solid, and to warm it up and increase the intesity you just turn on a little light. I especially love the nightlight versions.

I’m not big into scented anything because of allergies, much to the dismay of my scent loving boyfriend. Too bad. This product is certainly a lot more attractive than those plug in things.

I love Colonial Candles. They don’t smell as overly sweet to me as Yankees, although I tend to stick with the more natural scents like vanilla or spice. This time of year, I also love to throw apple peels and expired baking spices in a pan and boil. Scents the whole house and much cheaper than candles! I do the same in winter with orange peels.

I loved scented candles and am all geared up to order my pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin spice, fresh apple and so on and then will be moving in to the Christmas scents.

Like I said, this one did surprise me — the scent smells good, not like chemicals. I will also say that today it appears to have “calmed down” somewhat, about three days later.

I’ve always loved those oil aromatherapy diffusers that you use essential oils with- that way I can combine my own favorite scents (like grapefruit and sandalwood). I’m also a HUGE fan of the Japanese Morning Star brand of incense (in Sandalwood)- smells clean, and kinda like camping. The “other stuff”- even made by Method- always tends to overpower and induce migraines for me.

I want my house to smell like something and thought these were pretty but they’re expensive! But then again, my expensive reed diffuser smells like nothing so I don’t have a good answer. These are very pretty though for something mass-produced.
