I mostly burn incense, however, love WoodWick candles. They smell fab, and you get the added bonus of the "crackling fireplace" sound as they burn.

Candles and other stuff that smell aren't my thing, but if I had to pick, I might go with Yankee Candle. I had to get a present for someone there and a lot of 'em smelled so good

Ooh..tough question.

I buy both. In fact last night I bought a few holiday candles at B&BW at 75%. I like buying the small candles there when they are on sale and I use those when i'm in the mood for a certain scent. Oh and they are great for the kitchen.

As for YC, I love Lemon Lavender. Hands down, favorite scent ever. A close second is this other Lavender candle they have from their almost defunct Spa Line. It's Lavender, Geranium and Ylang-Ylang. I light that in my bedroom and i feel like I am at a spa. Ok, at least it smells like I am. My third favorite is Christmas Cookie. Burn that religiously from Nov-Jan.

Here'a a tip for all your YC lovers. Bed, Bath & Beyond sells a lot of the most popular scents and you can use the 20% off coupons that flood the mailbox on those. And if you pick up their select candle of the month, it's 20% what's already 25% off. I've gotten some really good deals this way.

Yikes, that's right; they ('Illume' candles) were about that price in a gift shop I browsed through while in Napa, California.

I passed on the candles, and instead, when I was in SoCal later, stopped by Point Dume beach.

I'm a huge fan of Votivo candles. They run around 20 dollars each, and have a heavy oil content. There's one scent in particular that is great called Desert, and a blackberry-basil one that's a close second for my favorite.

That looks like a great little company, and I love the fact that they ship. *Glomps the Smoke On The Water candle for having a great name*

I do love candles, though. I usually use a cinnamon type scent. Caitlin, is Eucalyptus and Sparkling Cinnamon one candle or two? If one- that sounds amazing.
