No candles for this guy; I'm all incense over here.
My favorite head shop has some that smell amazing, and some that smell terrible. One, called "Baking Brownies," smells like you're burning someone's shoe.
I had a scented wax that I purchased from Walmart that actually smelled like pina colada. It was wonderful! My husband had one was supposed to smell like fresh laundry (or something) and it was so over powering that it made me nauseous. I too had a Christmas scent (with berries) that was wayy to over powerful. It had to be cut in half and the room aired out in order to not trigger a migraine.
Most of the made up/mixed scents with goofy names like Fresh Laundry and Lake Home give me migraines. I can enjoy spice based scents like some of Yankee Candle's holiday scents, and some citrus and light floral scents. Most candles now are too smelly. They overpower.
