I have always been a candle fan especially soy candles and home interiors candles but I like candles a bit more because I use them for lighting too. I like the looks of them and I mix and match them around my household. Incense is great too dont get me wrong especially when I want an instant smell and my fav. incense Stella blue by auricblends.com is the best! The smell lasts foreva:)

I like to use candles for lighting around my home. I use the unscented ones though.

Candles do not smell much unless lighted then put off. I prefer the smell of incense. Incense was used in the temple of God in the Old Testament. God likes the smell of incense very much.

i love candles, i collect them and have a ton of them around the house. my home is my sanctuary, so i like different fragrances for my different moods. i also saved a bunch from christmas, so whenever i start missing it, i just light up a candle and it takes me back. great memorys.

i like candles better because the scent is subtle. bi like vanilla scented candles the best. i like candles also because it is very relaxing to stare at them long and they give a romantic glow.

I think incense have more of an earthy smell ~ and that is okay, sometimes that is just what I want. Candles do a better job of filling the room yet in a lighter more gentle way. I don't use either one of them very much because my sinuses get aggrivated by them. I like to use candles especially around the holidays and even though it sounds crazy I just take some sinus meds in order to have a festive smelling house.

I prefer the smell of incense. Candles sometimes have smells which are too flowery for my liking. I prefer more of musk and fruit smells

wonderful . gr8 topic . for me the preference goes to incense , because it is not only gives u beautiful smell but also change the atmosphere and the moods of the person. that's why we light incense before god . so that he may get pleased with our service and pur grace on us. Me , a south indian and we use to use incense in poojas. I also know that christians use candles for pooja/prayer in church . but i could not able to judge the smell of the candle . if is there any please let be be informed. thanks
