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.

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).

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!

Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie are owned by the same people.

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.
