I know many of us have a tiny little obsession with this store.

Secret Santa is coming up. So what are YOUR favorite scents?

I don't like candles with scents and I really only use regular candles Fridays to light them for Shabbat. Yes, I am candle boring.

I love the Scentstories scents they have- especially the cherry limade!! It came in the 'afternoon picnic" disc. I am going to have to buy a cherry limeade candle- because it smells seriously good! I also like the "sugar and spice' disc. I love anything apple scented as well.

My fav yankee candle scent is retired.
Ginger citrus. Mmmmm... I stocked up on a bunch of votives and tea candles, but now I'm afraid to use them. Lol

I also love "iced tea" but it is a seasonal scent. Midsummer Night is a great one that hubby and I both love.

Having never experienced a Yankee Candle, I can't say whether there's a specific one of theirs that I like...

But... I LOVE candles.

I do NOT like: flowery smells (I find them overpowering, and some will cause a headache).

I like fruit based smells, vanilla, any butterscotch/caramel type of smell, but I'd say fruit based ones are my fav. ( specifically berry, like strawberry, and cherry).

Right now I have a vanilla, and a citrus on the go (not at the same time
)

I try to order before they go away but I know the feeling. I think that's why I have so many cause I am afraid they won't return once I use them.

You sound like me Chris. Even lavender messes with my sinuses. Strawberry is the only fruity flavor that comes out waxy to me, in all brands.

I lean towards the "food" scents, vanilla, cinnamon, etc. But I also love most of the Fall scents.

My favorite scents are the fruity ones, too - especially cucumber/watermelon & black cherry or cherry/vanilla. I also like the spicy ones like cinnamon.

I don't recall what scents I received last year in my SS package, but those smelled good, too.


Do I detect some "snooping" going on here?

I am also not familiar with Yankee Candles, but I love patchouli. Hate berry and fruit smelling stuff, just too strong and they make me hungry, lol. Though My step mom had this great candle that uh, well made its way home with me (Shhh, don't tell, she has like 3000 candles!) I think it was peach vanilla, wonderful smell and a beautiful color.

I don't like any of the strong smells... The worst for me is Vanilla - that is migraine in the shape of wax!
I like the wooden scents, leafy or fresh scents - I guess I would fit in their "Fresh Fragrances". Nothing too strong - just fresh... Strong and sweet scents are a big time migraine trigger for me.
