Got A New Candle - Peony and Rose

Tweet

Peony and rose are the only floral scents that I can tolerate. For the most part, I like the clean scent and the baked goods smell of scented candles. This afternoon, we went to Target to do some bit of shopping, and I am glad I found this jar of candle from Chesapeake Candles. And I think that I am lucky that I got this last jar at a discounted price. As soon as we got home, I lighted this candle and I am happy with the very mild scent. I can smell it all throughout our living room, and hints here and there coming from the hallway and the kitchen area. I do not like it to be any stronger than what it is now, light and subtle is the way to go for me. My husband is more sensitive to strong scents. I still have my Christmassy candle scents, but I am glad that I am out of my fall scents. I tried to get some pumpkin spice scented candles, and while these were not too bad, I found out that these will never be my favorite. Before, I exclusively buy my candles from Bath and Body Works. I usually get sucked into their promos and deals, thinking that I am getting it for a good price. But since I am no longer a scented candle snob (haha!), I discovered other brands that are much cheaper and has even better formulation and scents than Bath and Body Works. It just goes to show that sometimes, we just pay for the name or the brand.
