always have a candle on my stove burning,and scented

Scented with guests—always Votivo's Black Ginger.

Unscented for dinner parties.

Unscented candles. I use a scented oil heater if I want a smell.

Love Love Love Voluspa's variety of scents. Also: aspen bay capri blue in Volcano.

I light a candle whenever I get home, too!

i used to never use candles or scents, but in the last few months I started using a ginger-scented room diffuser in my kitchen (amazing!) and vanilla-scented candles in the bathrooms. Since the bathrooms always have the doors closed, I don't even need to burn the scented candle to let the bathroom smell like vanilla.

I live in a warm climate, and the open windows let in lots of breeze, so burning candles often isn't an option.

Diptyque for me are the most sublime scented candles. Expensive but they burn for hours and smell divine. My favourite is Feu de Bois (woodsmoke) but there are others I love almost as much.

I use both scented and unscented candles. The unscented ones are typically tealights, I go through a massive amount each winter - I like to have around 9 candles burning at the same time. The scented ones are pillar candles - I don't stick to a specific scent, I buy what I like.

However, I read the unscented candles produce a lot less soot than the scented ones, but I did not verify that. Anybody knows?

And when we are speaking of candles - I would appreciate if somebody could suggest where one can get candles in a decorative glass - it looks like the glass is painted on. I recently bought one at a local Goodwill store and oh my, it looked amazing when it was lit up. I have no idea where it came from - it was a round glass container, with the wax poured in, and it was impossible to determine if the glass was painted on the inside or on the outside (or how the coloured pattern was achieved at all). Thks.

I'm obsessed with scented candles. They are calming and comforting. I almost never bother with unscented candles.

Unscented. scented calndes give me headache.

I have trouble finding scented candles that aren't cloying and artificial smelling...but then I discovered Astier de Villatte's line. I love the subtle mossy, leathery scent of "Edimbourg." Pricey though at $75 each...but they burn slowly and don't reek like Glade.

I always have one scented candle loving the Seda France- Malaysian Bamboo right now. I use beeswax candles unscented at the dinner table or other soy scent free ones if I have several going at once.

I had the Voluspa Black Figue Chypre going last month my goodness that one is heavenly. I usually find their candles to perfumy mens cologne smelling this one was amazing.

I always have scented. We do a lot of cooking and they really help with the food smells. I use a variety, different scents for different rooms, and seasons.

my husband really likes to burn a scented candle before we have people over, but i absolutely hate artificial scents and find that some make my eyes water or give me a headache (even very gentle scents). ho hum.

I would never burn a scented candle. Unless the candle is 100% organic, the scents are basically nothing more than phthalates and phthalates are linked to all sorts of health problems. Even before I discovered this, scented candles would give me terrible headaches.

I use essential oil scented soy candles. When I can splurge I'll go for a really nice one but usually I make my own or have a few local craft vendors.
In the winter I'm almost always burning a candle. Scents vary by season and occasion but my stock candle that I make sure I never run out of is a jar of nag champa for the hubby - he loves it. Plus, it's a strong scent and we have some kind of weird plumbing issue that is waaay out of our price range to fix in the foreseeable future that causes a sulfur like smell when it's humid or wet out. As such, if guests are coming over we always make sure there is something burning for about 30 minutes before arrival.

On the table we rarely use candles in centerpieces but if I do they are always unscented. I was taught that a scented candle on the table will interfere with tasting the food. Additionally I don't burn oils near the dining room or have a diffuser or anything until after the evening meal.

i always burn scented candles in my kitchen/living room, bathroom and bedroom. ok so basically the whole apartment gets the scented candle treatment.

i also buy all my candles at anthropologie...the best source for all types.

I use unscented tapers on the dining table and unscented tealights for my soy tart melter. Other than that I use a lot of scented soy candles from an Etsy seller.. I typically have one burning whenever I'm home. I also like Illume's candles. My favorite scents are fresh: mint, clean florals, grassy, springtime smells.

I find that scented candles give me headaches:( I really love them but after having two kids something went wacky with my sense of smell and perfume and candles and cleaners just hurt my head...

Scented candles tend to disagree with me. If I want the house to smell, I'll use something natural (Boil some water on the stove with a stick of cinnamon in it. Peel a citrus, put it in a metal bowl and leave it on the heater. Bake cookies.)

I only burn candles when the power goes out. I never use any scented products of any kind, if I can avoid them, for personal and ecological reasons. Air fresheners (and scented candles) are putting microscopic droplets of oil in the air (in your lungs, on your walls, etc.) and that bothers me.

Depends on the reason. If the power is out I'm going to use at least mostly unscented ones since I don't want to feel like I'm in a perfume factory. If it's just one or two to make the room cozy, I usually use scented ones.

I use battery-powered lighting in blackouts. I open windows as weather, pollen, etc., allow for fresh air. It usually smells like my husband's excellent cooking indoors. Artificial scents range from unpleasant to sickening for me. I rarely use candles and don't miss them.

My fiancé has been buying soy candles on Etsy from someone who makes them to order. The first batch was too cloying for me (the coffee-scented candle in a small enclosed space made me want to pass out).

Since my fiancé didn't want to go all unscented, he had the GREAT idea to ask the candle maker to give us half-scented candles (half wax with the scent, half unscented wax; or maybe just half the scent). Anyway, completely fabulous. It's a great subtle smell. Never overpowering now. Love it.

I am a fragrance nut, but I am super sensitive to scents and VERY picky about it having to smell realistic. We carry a hand selected variety of Voluspa in our store, my favorite is Baltic Amber and also Arcadia. They also have these fantastic kitchen candles for after cooking that work SOOOO well. Love the Garden Herb!!

The only time I burn unscented is during dinner parties.

I buy unscented pillar candles and sometimes add a few drops of essential oil (usually orange or rosemary) to the hot wax that pools around the wick. I like controlling the intensity of the scent.

I LOVE scented candles. My personal favorite place is http://www.scentsandsprays.com. They sell all my favorite brands, and the candles are amazing!
