All of these candles were bought at Pier One Imports and are scented, and are still wrapped in the original wrapping unused. Since I don't have a need for them I'm offering them for trade for; African Violets especially minis, Houseplants, Miniature Ferns, Air Plants (tillandsias) Carnivorous Plants, Certain Cacti & Succulents....basically indoor stuff or plants small enough for a terrarium. You can see a picture of the plants posted on my blog by following the link. Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures of Candles posted on my plant blog

Hi - Thanks for responding. My hubby ordered some scented candle wax for me (cause it was cheap). When it arrived - it was all in a box (several different scents)- nothing was labeled. We have had everyone we know, smell them & know one can figure what the scents are. Some actually stink, that is why I asked about re-scenting them. Appreciate the advice, guess I will toss it out.

A good candle will not lose its fragrance. It (the candle color) may fade, but the fragrance is an oil and oil will not evaporate from the wax. Exposure to sunlight seems to do the most damage to fragrance. I have had some candles that were three years old and when I finally lit them, they still had a wonderful fragrance. Cheap candles are a different matter. For one, the heaviest concentration of fragrance is in the top overpour. The rest of the candle is very lightly scented. That's why a cheap candle might smell terrific in the store, but when you get it home and after you have burned it for a bit, it will have nearly no fragrance. (I have a friend who works in a candle factory and that's how they do it.) It has been my experience with cheap (i.e. Dollar Store, some Wal-Mart candles, etc.) candles that after sitting for a few months they do lose their fragrance. But, they are not made with high quality, concentrated oils to begin with. Anyway, don't throw them out- they should still be good! Susan

We went into a shop in Camden, Maine this past summer that sold Maine-made crafts, art, gifts and tchotchkes. And scented candles. Even though I was looking for a Maine-themed gift for our pet sitter, I could only spend 15 seconds in the store before I had to leave, because of the overpowering candle scent. My favorite "candles" are the tiny electric tea lights. Smell free, flame free, smoke free, wax-dripping free. Maybe this preference is partly because I made a winter-themed table centerpiece as a kid-- with twigs to simulate trees, cotton balls to simulate snow, and a candle in the middle all in an aluminum pie plate. I decided to put the centerpiece in place, and light the candle, and then went to get everyone so they could see it. We came back into the kitchen, and the whole thing was aflame. My parents doused it with water, but it was destroyed, and it had melted a hole in the middle of the brand new table cloth and scorched the table beneath it. Traumatic.
