When I think I'd scented candles I think of my teenage years and cheap, headache inducing things that I mainly just had on display to gather dust. I keep reading posts on MN about how people love their 'xyz' candle/how they're such a treat/wouldn't be without it. So... Are they an actual 'thing' now? Have I missed out on something here? Obviously I've seen them in shops but never given them any thought - I guess in my mind they were just for decorative purposes.
If they really are so lovely and a luxury, I want a piece of the action! Any recommendations? With 3 DCs under 5 (including a newborn) I don't have time to sniff every candle everywhere so pointers would be great. I love fresh, airy scents (but not the classic 'fresh linen' that all air fresheners seem to smell of).
