Do you have a favourite fragrance or a particular brand you like perhaps?

My current favourite is called perfect pear...not only that this candle smells good but it doesn't burn fast.

I like the ones from Pier One. Sorry dont remember the exact scent but they have these big, multi colored candles that look like they have fruit bits in them??All of the scents in that line smell heavenly.

Vanilla scented candles from Jo Malone. I just used up the last bit of space on my credit card today buying a huge candle the size of a dinner plate.

The last I counted I had 50 candles at my place scattered all over in different arrangments. Not to mention the wax melts which I find better then burning oils and my lanterns.

I love candles, at current my fav is jamacian which is quite spicy and strong.

Diva, Where did you buy the fresh linen from. It sounds interesting.

Ira, I glanced at Pier 1 website..and the candles you are mentioning are nice :-)

Shahreen, Wow...i love huge candles..

i looked at their website and they are so expensive..like $65 and the luxury one are above $300..i couldn't believe my eyes for a sec..why are they so expensive :-(

GummyBear: they are called highly fragranced candles. They come in a bix box of 12 tin pack candles. They last about 30 hours or more..they have some funny fragrances like banana bread and pumpkin pie too.

Sandleen, i love floating and gel candles for their colour and shapes but i haven't come across the ones jin ki fragrance last karti ho.

LegallyBrown, i would love to try jamaican one..but i haven't came across one so far.

Qrius :- I found fresh linen at WALGREENS pharmacy. Check it out there. Smells awesome. Just like fresh laundry.

Satsuma scented candles from The Body Shop. :love: It's very citrus-y yet alluring.

Yah; i really love the smells at Pier1 also;
my favorite flavor would have to be lavender or sometimes tropical breeze/ anything fruity just not apple.
Also, I've heard that you can take lemon slices and boil them with very slight simmer and it will create great smell in your home from one of my vietnamese friends.
