I love candles, but often forget to light them. People say my house smells wonderful, but I don't smell anything particularly most of the time, unless one is lit.
OTOH, there is a candle I love, among others, that I'd wear as a fragrance if it were made to smell the same. It is called Sensual Evening, distributed by Nature's Finest (Palm Creations) in Plano, TX.
Sensual Evening: Rich, warm woods are caressed by exotic spices, night-blooming florals, and sensually tactile musks.
All of their candles have a top layer with sparklies, and after they melt, the top layer solidifies each time as it cools down back to the same sparkly look, so the candle is pretty when not lit. Sensual Evening is a multi-layered blue.
Where can you find them?
I used to be able to find them at Winn Dixie, but they didn't always have them, so when I found their website, I ordered a box of the ones I love.
Update: Recently I found them in a small local gift shop. I bought about 10 in different scents/colors. I just line them up and look at them until it is time to put on in a votive.
Tyler Candles are very, very good too. They come in several forms, including some available in lingerie washes. Some of the flavors/scents I like are:
