YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Best Smelling Candles? I absolutely love candles, and have tried all kinds including the ever popular Yankee Candles. I've found that many other brands are actually stronger smelling than the Yankee, and I would love to get the opinions of other "candle people" as to which ones they like the best, favorite scents, etc. I've even made my own in the past, but now with all the furbutts, I just don't have the time. The last batch I ordered was called "Mountain Candles", and I also loved the triple scented ones from "Ye Olde Candle Mill", but haven't been able to find those anymore. Does anyone make their own? Any favorite brands/scents? Thanks!!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I'm an independent Scentsy consultant. I happen to LOVE the candles because they are wickless, sootless, flameless, etc. The wax is warmed with a 25wat bulbed warmer. PM me if you have any further questions about it.

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | For most of my adult life, I have lived a scent-free life, because most scents throw me into excruciating migraines. Try going to the symphony or to a public theatre . I finally found I could tolerate the rose scent from Party Lite candles; but, ONLY the rose. And, then, they stopped making that scent. Of course Then, a couple of months ago, I discovered soy-based candles. I am now enjoying the raspberry in two rooms of my house (I don't even need to light them), and Cinnabun in my kitchen! I LOVE it! One of my daughter's care assistants make them, and I've asked her to look into honeysuckle and apple.

YT Graphic Artist Donating Member | Hmm, I haven't tried the soy-based candles yet. I, too, am sensitive about certain scents that are just too "perfumy" and cause headaches!

I love good smelly stuff!! One of the girls I work with had a Scentsy Catalog Party a couple of months ago. I love Scentsy!!!! These are wonderful - definitely worth checking out!! My favorite traditional candles are Salt City Candles - they last forever and the scents are really strong.

| My favorite are Root candles. They are soy and they are scented stronger than Yankee. My mom gets them at Fresh Market in NC but I can't get them locally so I buy Yankee. Yankee has new soy candles so I'm excited about that.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Even with soy you deal with something burning. I like the soy candles compared to other ones with flames however, I feel safer with a warmer doing the work and not worrying about leaving it on or the kids or Guinness knocking it. The wax lasts from 50-80 hours depending on the bar and you don't have to keep it lit constantly to enjoy the scent. To be honest, I like the idea of Scentsy because I'm so forgetful and especially when I was pregnant, I lit a towel on fire before!

| We sell candles in our gift shop in our pharmacy, and both lines do very well. One is Beanpod Candles, and the other line is Tyler. They are both soy, and yes you still do have somewhat of a burn issue with soy candles. The key to burning candles and getting the full burn time of the candle, first time burn at least 4 hours, thereafter at least 3. Your wax needs to melt out to the edge of the jar, or the candle will tunnel, and you will lose some burn time. HTH, Sheri |
