Is anyone else a candle addict like me? I've been hoarding them for a while but have started to burn them more regularly to try and get through my collection. That way my partner won't have to restrain me like a rabid animal anytime we walk by a White Barn

Here's what I just opened up tonight. I finished one called Grandma's Kitchen (I think it was a local maker) yesterday. I'm going for burning all of my warm/bakery/baked goods themed candles in the winter. That's the most fitting time, at least to me. And I have a looooot of vanilla/cookies/bakery candles.
not to be a debbie downer but scented candles can directly cause asthma - be careful and open several windows, run an air purifier, etc if you absolutely must use those. you're inhaling chemicals similar to like... paint fumes.
I'm not allowed to burn candles or incense in my apartment 🙄 it's ridiculous. But, if I could, I'd be burning cucumber melon candles on the daily
Love this thread! My fiance and I regularly light candles. I love the vibe it gives.
We found an absolutely terrible one at the grocery store the other day lol. It was "Thanksgiving Stuffing" scent. It was on clearance and my fiance had to have it haha. It really does smell like boxed stuffing.
^^ Thanks to Menine for the icon & Gremlin for this userbar!

As my name would suggest.
Teakwood is my absolute favorite scent.
So there is always a candle of that going on somewhere in my home.
Right now I'm burning a "Sailing in the Med" which was a spring collection of bath and body works. Loooooove it.
Thank you Hellraid <3

To roll off of what @(you need an account to see links) said, my go to candle is Teakwood Maghogany by White Barn from Bath and Body Works. I also get this same scent for my foaming soaps and Car air freshner packs!
It's a slight addiction.....look out when there is a 3 wick candle sale!!!
I would take a picture if I wasn't being cuddle assaulted by my cat.
I love candles but I am super boring. My go-to is the Ikea vanilla 40 hour candles, and I'll have one going every month that isn't December because they are just so affordable.
In December I like to branch out and get Get Your Grinch Off from Canadian p̶y̶r̶a̶m̶i̶d̶ ̶s̶c̶h̶e̶m̶e̶ MLM Tiber River. It has a wooden wick and smells exactly like a Christmas tree.
FORMERLY SKATE_D3

i keep the "boss babe" one to light on fridays or holidays now. it was my sisters candle. something that meant nothing years ago now means the fucking world to me. its sad but i love it so much.
the other candles are just smell gooders.
thanks for posting! now i can see the companies i should look into for candles!
this might be a niche scent, but these days if i do light a candle it's Yankee Candle's Sparkling Cinnamon one! i got a small version from a discounted Xmas pack and really enjoyed it, so i ended up buying the larger version too.
