Talking Yankee Candles
Anyone else use these? I know we were discussing in Towers the other week, but just curious. If so, what scents do you use?



My current faves are:

* Moon On Their Wings
* Nature's Paintbrush
* Mountain Lodge
* Midsummer's Night
* Rainforest

Never heard of them. But my family always have Diptyque ones around. They smell nice.

I'm not a fan of Yankee Candles. I had to repaint my ceiling afterwards because they left horrible black, sooty marks. I prefer Lampe Berger where you heat the stone and the oil sucks all the nasties out of the air while smelling gorgeous - which sounds weird if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Not tried these, but I love scented candles.

Body shop ones are gorgeous

I like my room to be ambient and relaxing, especially when I'm doing my writing. I like my work space and bedroom to be clean, smelling nice and calming.

I'm paranoid about scented candles and insense, i think they cause cancer.
