FMM: Favorite Scents


It's Friend Makin' Monday! I haven't been able to participate in the last few, and I really missed it. So I'm so happy to be able to join in this week over at darling Amber's blog. Her question this week is:

What are your favorite candles/scents?


I love burning candles in the Fall and Winter.  Some of my favorite scents are:


Pumpkin



cinnamon




anything apple




I love Salt City candles. Some scents I want to try are:

Cafe Paris
The rich smell of the chocolate, the sweet smell of the caramel, the strong aroma of the vanilla beans all combined together to give you the energizing scent of an espresso.


Oatmeal Raisin
Sweet, fragrant and wonderfully comforting, the smell of freshly-baked oatmeal raisin cookies is a happy greeting to friends and family. A heady mix of spices and wholesome grains with just a touch of creamy vanilla, cookies are always welcome


I have always wondered about those no burn candles. Have you ever tried those? And what are your favorite brands/scents of candles? Go over to Amber's to join in the fun!

And Happy Birthday to my darling sister Ashley! This is a picture of her with her sweet little baby. Aren't they cute? Have a great day Ashley!!!



Have a great day!
XOXO

Oooh, we like the same scents!! I love, love, love cinnamon. We just bought a 'Cinnamon candy' one for Maddie's teacher, and I'm having a hard time preparing to drop it off at school tomorrow. :)

That cafe one sounds yummy!

Oatmeal Raisin sounds yummy. I think if the scent doubles as a kind of cookie I am in!

Oh, how I love a great smelling candle. I love all the different seasonal scents. But my favorites are from Yankee- Fresh Cute Roses and Macintosh. Those are what I call a great stress relief.
Have a great Monday!

Jen said...

ooh, yum - you and I have the same tastes! :) I can't tolerate strong flowery smells as they always give me headaches. But the yummy, food-like smells are always comforting! :)

I've never tried the Salt City Candles. Oatmeal Raisin sounds great!

Laura said...

You must have good taste :) Does it also mean that you like the smell of dirty laundry??

Liz @ Sugarplum Creations said...

Mmmmmmm, I love apple too! And the oatmeal raisin sounds heavenly! :) I am so behind on blog reading. I think I'm going to need to devote a full day just to your blog so that I can catch up on all your crafty goodness!!!

Jen said...

Love your scents! I like those too!! I am going to check out the Salt City candles. Never heard of them. I haven't checked out the burn less candles. I enjoy the way candles make your house feel so I prefer those but definitely the safer way to go!!

Happy FMM and Happy birthday to your sister!!
