Candles?
 
I searched, there was only one smaller thread.

Does anyone know where I can get good smelling candles (to make my apartment smell nice) at a store (not online)?

I have a few Tommy Bahama ones but I'm sick of them.
I don't like any from Bath and Body Works.
I don't want a $5 candle or a $50 candle, somewhere in between.

Any suggestions? Chains or local. I live in Coral Gables (near Miami), FL.

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions.

Yankee Candles are awesome. I can find them at Bed Bath and Beyond.

World Market also has a nice selection, if there's one near you.

I will try BB&B, thanks!

Ikea has some nice candles. They are on the cheaper side of things but I still like them.

Search for Votivo candles. They are intensely scented, not overpowering. I also like Archipelago candles. And the Capri Blue line, sold at Anthropologie.

Pier 1 has some good smelling candles near their air fresheners (which also smell pretty freakin' awesome).

Absolutely, those are the best.

If you want the scent and not the atmosphere, try Scentsy. No risk of fire, and great variety of scents. I guarantee you can find a rep near you!

Does Urban Outfitters have good ones?

Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie are owned by the same people.

All of my candles are from Yankee Candle. I love them!

I vouch for this.

I second Scentsy. I didn't even buy one of their warmers, I use an old one I got as a gift. But I love their scents!

This line is sold at Fred Segal in California, and it is awesome! Really nice scents, not overpowering, and their reed diffusors last for a really long time: http://www.ronrobinson.com/Apothia-L...eles-s/209.htm

I like Casa, Plush and Wave the most.

For making my apartment smell nice, do you guys recommend reed diffusors over candles?

Kappamd 07-27-2011 07:17 PM

I second or third Scentsy, ESPECIALLY for apartments.

Tyler Candles! I am in love with them, and I have them all over my apartment. No one walks in my door without one lit. They come in a variety of scents, my personal favorites being pineapple crush and limelight. You can get them online, and in boutique stores. they also make reed diffusers, car air fresheners, and room sprays.

What they said. You can also check to see if there is a Yankee Candle store in your local mall. They sometimes have great sales

I got a small one from Bed Bath and Beyond. I think it's called Ocean Blossom. We'll see if it creates a fragrance the next time I come home (that's when I tend to notice, right when I walk in the door) from being somewhere else.

Also a Scentsy addict! I think there are at least two dealers here, one of which is an ADPi, skerbow. Is Buttonz one, also?

Call me crazy, but I think the Febreze candles are awesome. They really make the house smell nice with a strong scent. I'm also loving my wallflower from Bath & Body Works.

The downside of the Febreze candle is that it burns really dirty. The glass turns really black.
