Do you burn candles in daylight?

[Houseplanter]

I visited a friend earlier who had a scented candle burning. Her house smelt lovely but I would never have thought of lighting one before dusk.

Do you?

Yes I do a lot. Or I’ll have a wax melt on the go.

Yes, I've got 2 on now.

Yes, when the kids are at school and I've done all my housework I will light a candle for the scent. I also like incense. Although it is more likely I'll do this during Autumn/ Winter months when it's a bit more cosy.

I have a candle on the go all day as I’m working. Always Diptyque. At the moment I am burning Citronelle. It keeps the flies out too.

Yes; for the fragrance, not the soft lighting. I WFH and it’s one way to help me feel motivated to work alone.

I'd like to do this more, but is it not carcinogenic?

No, I rarely use candles. They’re carcinogenic.

All the time! I often light one when I get up, to impart and lovely smell. I don't use them for lighting.

Same! Different scents for different tasks as well.

Yes all the time. In the country I am from people have candles all the time (very dark in winter).

I used to burn candles and yes would burn them in daylight. I don’t anymore once I started thinking about what I was actually breathing in.

The scented candles? Of course I light them in daylight. The point of them is for the nice fragrance, not to give you light!

I'm sitting next to one that I lit earlier this afternoon.

Yes- I use them for scent-ing, not lighting!

No, but I detest candles.

Citronella tealights to keep the flies out during the days in summer. It seems to work and I like the smell.

Yep. Got a wax melt on today

Citronella is brilliant for keeping insects out. I like the smell, too.

Yes

Yes, I only burn them for the fragrance not the light.

Yes all the time. Usually have wax melts in the burner in the kitchen all day. I like lots of fragrance

All day long. It's especially important to me when I WFH. I have day and night candles depending on their scent ❤️

No, I'd rather have rain forest than palm plantations

Yes. They give a nice relaxed mood.

I buy cheap tea lights and put them in a pretty tea light holder - they're about 2p each.

I use a plug in electric oil diffuser to make the house smell nice

No, that would seem really odd.
