My mother has an enormous collection of candles and it's influenced my appreciation for them. Right now I'm burning a coffee candle called Paris Café from Bath & Body Works, and it feels like I'm in a coffee house while I type away on my keyboard.

I love scents that make me feel like I'm in the woods or a witch's cabin too. Spicy, cidery, apple, tree type scents make me feel so cozy.

I do like candles. Unfortunately, my cat also likes them...

You should try sandelwood. That stuff smells so incredibly good.

@SirLionelNigelConrad:

Burning everything to the ground is fun! Just make sure all life evacuates before doing so.

@Kira: I would but there are too many spiders hiding in my house to bring them all to safety before it burns down

@Tuijp: You're a good person. Most people I know do not hesitate to kill spiders.

I like candles and have a few of them but ever since I got cats I haven't burned any. The way they run around all the time I'd be afraid of them knocking candles over.

I have one from bath and body works I did buy recently though. It's called black tie and it smells really good.

@Kira: neither does one of my cats, but only because the other cat is scared of them

Scented candles are far too strong for me when lit, so I leave them unlit so that their scent does not make me feel sick. The rare times we do light candles, the power has gone out and those ones are unscented.

I enjoy candles. I love the atmosphere they give.

However, I was raised by a very paranoid mother, and thus I am wary of actual fire in a house. So I am stick with the not warm, flameless kind. ;_;

Love candles!
I burn through them like crazy. If I am in a room a candle is burning.

I just started purchasing the Woodwick candles, the wick crackles when you burn it.

no, i'm not a candle individual, not that i don't see the appeal! i can understand why/how others would like 'em.
i did enjoy when i'd visit a friends house and her mom had a scented candle going. it's just not something i'd go out of my way to put in my own home.

@kira: We burned the Campfire Coffee from Bath and Bodyworks until the wick was gone and then we put the leftover wax in a wax warmer. That was my FAVORITE candle by far. Right now, I have the plug in wallflower kind in White Caramel Cold Brew. If they ever bring back the campfire coffee though... I'm stocking up! XD

I find that a lot of their scents are extremely strong and I can't handle more than a few minutes of them, but the coffee ones are fine! I keep the wallflower right by my front door behind my shoe rack so that it's not necessarily in the living room, but I can still smell it. AND it smells awesome as soon as you walk in.

I'm also a big fan of the kitchen lemon scent.
I love the clean smells and the cozy smells.

@Little Crane: I rarely find scented candles that are strong enough for me to smell without having to stick my nose in it.

@Peachy: I really like wick candles! My mother doesn't seem to for some reason.

@Vermii: What about spooky horror haunted candles?

@Mousy: Ah, that's good. I used to like Yankee Candles but the past few I've gotten my hands on barely smelled like anything.

@Totalanimefan: Awesome guide! I doubt my mom would care, though. But I do so thank you.

@Kira:
must you bother asking?

i can appreciate the aesthetic of candles, especially if we're talkin' spooky haunted houses/castles.

Well, you have your answer.
Also, you look like the token female friend in an edgy cyberpunk tv show meant for kids ages 10+.

That's not a bad thing.

I like your avi.

I like it a lot.

I like cartoons also.
