Scented Candles

Asked AnsweredI really love candles and especially enjoy the variety of fall scents. My problem is that my husband is sensitive to the fragrance. I have tried several types and cannot find anything that does not irritate him. Do you have any suggestions?

Heavy scents are disturbing to many people. I would suggest that you try a vegetable oil based product and try a lighter scent. Those prone to allergies can often tolerate a light scent, as long as it is not eucalyptus based. If he really just cannot tolerate candles, try boiling cinnamon in a crock pot to make your home smell good. I would try to stay away from pine scents, as those are often the source of allergies.
