Is anyone into" luxury candles", like Diptique, Votivo, Archipelego, Voluspa, and Nest for example? I was exploring some local boutiques and more than a few stores had a luxury candle burning and offered a variety of different scents for sale. Some of the aromas were lovely. I was never really a "candle snob", pretty much a Yankee Candle or Bath & Body Works type of woman. Are the luxury candle scents more concentrated? Do they burn better or longer? What sets them apart (aside from packaging and marketing) from other candles?

I used to burn scented candles but rarely do so anymore....I have bad allergies and they seem to really cause me problems.....here is one of my favorite brands - the scent of these candles is amazing and they are beautiful to look at. I used to buy their big candles and they would last me for months.

Scentsy Candles are luxury too. The candle holders are beautiful and romantic, and the price is higher than Yankee candle.

What are your preferred scents? What would you suggest for a living room area? I don't want a "kitcheny" scent and I don't want a floral...

Archipelago is my fav! I switch between that and Aromatique, which is a little cheaper.

Right now, I am using Aromatique in the Grapefruit Fandango scent. It is a lovely citrus-fresh and very clean scent. I use it to perk up the living room every so often and it works wonders.

I love Votivo, Red Current. Otherwise, I do not use a lot of scented candles. I am a Root Candle, unscented, beeswax taber girl, but the red current is such a yummy smell to me.
Typically, I'll just have it burning in the guest bathroom when we have company, and so I only need about 1-2 a year.
