Do You Like Candles? Scented Ones?

[+ Avalon]

Alot of gay guys seem to like candles. I can take or leave them.

[spider]

No, I do not.

Some scents that have the “perfumed edge” to their scent make me ill.

If I go to a house with Glade Plugins, I won’t be there long. They make me ill. Rumor is they have toxic ingredients.

 

I like homey smells- like vanilla or cinnamon - and not flowery ones like rose or lavender

 

I’m more focused on using essential oils in a diffuser.

I don't like candles perfumed or not. I find them old fashioned. But I am using stick diffusers. I buy the same perfume for the diffusers with the one I use in the shower, so this becomes my home scent.

I like exactly two scented candle varieties. Pier 1 Imports Citrus Cilantro and Ginger Peach.

I have one plain white votive candle I got in case the power goes out. I've never lit it. I use a flashlight.

Colonial Candle has a sandalwood scent. Sometimes I will light one to get rid of cooking odors, or if some cigarette smoke has wafted in from someone smoking outside when I have the windows open, but that doesn't happen often. Generally, I don't use candles

Unscented - great for hot wax play --- Scented NEVER --- One of the many reasons I never go into a PIER ONE Import Store

Yes Avalon. I buy scented candles. Always with a wooden wick. Vanilla Cedarwood is my favorite scent from Wood Lighta candles

One busy year I skipped the Christmas tree but went thru many pine scented candles.

I have an amazing candle that I love! It’s from The Maker of Wax Goods. It’s scent is Vanilla and tobacco. Although I am not a smoker, the scent is very rich and I like it! Unfortunately I found it to be discontinued. The burn time is 70 hours with a single wick though. I may buy a comparable from the same company.

They're supposed to be very unhealthful. Burning the volatile oils creates a toxic residue that settles on everything. Nonetheless, I like bayberry scented candles.

Rigaud, Paris, created the modern scented candle:

 

"The scent of the Rigaud candle soon became the height of chic in well-appointed homes, and even in the White House when Jacqueline Kennedy was its mistress."

I said alot of gays not all gays. What caused me to post the question was watching some YouTube gay couple and they're big on candles. So I thought I'd post the query.

What I hate is walking past a candle shop in a mall and the overwhelming perfumey stink hits you in the face.

It smells sort of like candy.

At least you’re just trolling in this thread...vs. braggart in others
