Members ToyQueen Posted September 2, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I love cinnamon and caramel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members littlefriend Posted September 2, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 My favorite for the fall/winter time are the ones that have a yummy smell like cookies baking. I would have to say my all time favorite would be something with vanilla and maybe a slight hint of cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vanilla_bean Posted September 2, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I am allergic to fragrance. I don't think there's enough unscented stuff available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mystofpric Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I love flowery musky scents. Anything that smells like outdoor sex. (there's an image) I'm actually not a vanilla fan, I find most vanilla scents are too over powering and they weigh me down, careful with any food smell, they can be too strong. For my Spring Scent, I use enchanted Orchid from B&B works, summer is freshwater cucumber, and fall winter is moonlit path. I'm very preticular about scents though. In the end as long as i get some flowers and hot man musk (lol) i'm a happy banana. OHHH Banana, now that's a fun scent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spanky Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like it when my wife burns a pumpkin spice or apple scented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sun_flower969 Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 A lavender vanilla combo could be really relaxing. Bergamot is said to be an aphrodesiac. Orange Clove is yummy too. My FAVORITE candle is Cinnamon Bun OMG smells like you are at the mall standing in front of Cinnabon! I think spices are the way to go!

Members HezRae76 Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like pretty much all the scents everyone has mentioned already but I didn't see coconut yet. I've smelled the fress cut grass for summer - do they have the smell of burning wood for fall/winter? I'm sure that sounds odd but I love to smell the neighbors’ wood burner when the fall air finally gets too crisp. Although that may not be a good scent for indoors...

Members pappyld04 Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Along with what has been mentioned here I think a baby powder may help some ladies get in the mood also! Jasmine is also a good one for relaxation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ohshelly Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Fresh cut grass/hayGreen CloverAnything autumn scented, dry leaves, woodsey, cinnimon smellSme of the clean cotton scents are nice, too.Can't beat PutchulliI get scents from Majectic Mountian in Ogden, Utah.They have a nice website, you may want to give them a look.Soy candles are so nice, it is really the only way to go. They burn clean, and there is no smoke or oily residue on the walls later.Sunds like you really have a passion for this, that is great!

Review Team sass Posted September 3, 2008 Review Team Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I like about anything except the really overly fruity ones - the ones that smell too sweet, if that makes sense.My favorites are probably fresh linen/cotton, the ocean ones and autumn spice for the fall.

Members cmwise1 Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'm allergic to most scents...i can never wear fragrances of any kind...even the expensive ones. I think i like musk, ambergris, bergamot, some of the more musky type scents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OPL Laundry Goddess Posted September 3, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Dragon's Blood, baby...And I boil something in the fall/winter that the kids call "Christmas." Its basically a saucepan with orange and citrus peels, apple cores, a few cranberries, a stick of cinnamon, and some cloves. Occassionally I'll toss in a sprig of pine garland off the tree. It is really just a way of using up all those left over harvest fruit skins, etc, but my kids love it. Not sure how you could package all of that, maybe you could find a "christmas cooking" fragrance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
