I really like scented candles. I've never really used incense...it just seems kinda weird to me. I love the smells of candles, especially ones that are made to smell like foods, such as apple cinnamon or pumpkin pie or something. I have one called sugar cookie which smells wonderful!

I prefer scented candles. I love apple pie and vanilla. I always have candles lit around the house it makes it smell so good. Incense doesn't smell as good to me and the scent doesn't really last as long

I prefer incense to scented candles. I find that incense is more natural.

I myself prefer candle over incense simply because incense tends to make it difficult for me to breathe. But this also goes for candles that are very strong smelling. I'm the same way with my perfume I don't like over powering smells they make it hard for me to breathe and they make me cough.

I use Nag champa incense from India when I want to relax as a scent. I do not use it that often since it is expensive. I like to have a bee's wax candle going at the same time. Since I make Bee's wax candles I get them cheap.

I also prefer candles. The incense is just way too much. Candles always leave a nice light scent.

I like scented candles too. I am using one with the smell of lemons right now and I feel it really relaxes my mind. I was never keen on trying lemon scent because it doesn't sound very exiting but after trying it I liked it a lot

I prefer scented candles as well especially in the bathroom because the scent is milder. Incense is I think more for outside purposes because they are stronger so they can scent a larger place. A scented candle can be enhanced by oils of your preference but I like roses the best.

i do both.I usually use incense during the day and I use scented candles in the evening.The candles in the evening give the house a romantic glow and actually helps me save energy.
