    Default Your favortie scented candles? Need Recommendations.

    I've been gradually trying to make my pad a little more cozy in preparation for winter. I'd really like to get some nice scented candles. I want something with a pretty strong scent (I don't seem to have a very good sniffer, "subtle" scents are always non-existent for me).

    I went to Bath and Body Works to check out the Henri Bendel candles. I wasn't that impressed with the scents they had, but I might go back and sniff again. Do they smell different/better when burned?

    I also like the Capri Blue candles at Anthropologie, but the scents seem pretty summery.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I love the Henri Bendal scents but they are not strong enough when burned imo.

    Have you tried any of the Yankee Candle holiday scents?

    The Yankee Candles are the best... I used to think they weren't worth the extra money but then I got one as a gift and it lasted forever...

    I have the lavender and lemon wax potpourri, too! It is delicious!

    I also bought Juicy Watermelon and Vanilla Cupcake from the Spring selection but I haven't had a chance to use them because the lavendar and lemon tart hasn't burned out yet...

    For the Holiday, I recommend these (from my personal collection):
    Sparkling Vanilla
    Holiday Sage
    Gingerbread Maple
    Cranberry Peppermint
    Cranberry Chutney

    Enjoy...

    Ditto on the Yankee Candles. They last the longest and smell the strongest, so they're worth the extra money, IMO. I like the Christmas Cookie, Pumpkin Pie, and Pumpkin Spice scents.

    Thanks for the recommendations so far ladies. I can't believe I didn't even think of Yankee. The lavender lemon sounds amazing! Can anyone recommend any good websites to order from?

    I have a friend that sells Gold Canyon Candles. They are on par with Yankee Candles for quality and fragrance. I buy from her because she is my friend and I'd rather give my money to someone I know than to a big company like Bed, Bath and Beyond (they sell Yankee).

    You might ask around if any of your friends sells Gold Canyon (or their moms). Otherwise, if you PM me I can send you a link to my friend's website.

    I vote Yankee candles as well! They are great. Right now we have this Mulling Spices from them and it has lasted so long and the smell is strong. I personally love the warmer scents like vanilla or spices, rarely the floral or exotic fruits stuff. But whatever scent you prefer these ladies are right, Yankee Candle is the best place to look.

    I looove candles, but I always seem to get the cheap ones from Target, IDK the brand cuz I tear off the paper when I get them, but they are nice and strong and only like 2 dollars.
    But Yankee candles are def worth the extra money.
    And slight TJ but ooooomg you reminded me of how much I can't wait for winter and for making my house cozy!

    My sister sells "Scentsy" candle products, it is one of those in home party businesses, but you can order from her website too. You basicaly purchase a plug in warmer that melts whatever scent of wax you pick, and they have lots to choose from. Also there is no flame so no fire hazard if you have kids or pets.

    The best candles are Diptyque, and I like Jo Malone, but they are expensive.

    For cheapies, and sweet scents, I've tried http://www.heathers-store.com
    I like almond, cream cheese frosting and chocolate mint.

    Or for a strong fragrance, try the oil diffuser from the Body Shop or Bath and Body.

    I just stocked up on Yankee Candles lol. I dont know if you have a JC Penny by you but I went to the mall Friday and they were on sale for like 18 dollars a pop for the jumbo 22 oz size (they last for like ever and I always have candles burning, it soothes me)

    I love the ButterCream scent my favorite!

    yankee is the bomb,
    also the bath and body works candles will fill the whole house. i like lemonade

    walmart sells cinnabon brand candles, and im assuming since they are made by the cinnabon company they are good. somewhat expensive though

    i think its more for the candle holder thing? its a 4-wick candle that is in a pumpkin shaped ceramic jar-type thing. they don't have the big one on their website anymore, but they have a really pretty smaller one that is similar. and a bunh of others that are pretty too. the 2nd candle on the page is similar to the one i have, but without the cut outs and mine is bigger.

    That's funny that you like Anthro candles- the first thing that I thought about when I read the thread title was the Volcano candles from Anthropologie.

    Mmmmm......

    I get the smaller versions, and after I use them they make really pretty glasses!

    ^ Angelicat, that's the one I was thinking of! Do the smaller sizes smell strong enough?
