I spent a long time the other day in several stores looking (smelling) for the perfect candle and was completely unsuccessful. I found one at Hobby Lobby, but it only smells up one room which isn't what our home needs. I have two hairy children running around that often times don't smell too lovely!
So, when we went to look at a house yesterday, upon walking in I was nearly knocked over by the wonderful smell coming from a candle they had been burning prior to the showing. The scent was very strong throughout the whole house and literally was still on my clothes when I left. I had also smelled this scent at my friend, Whitney's, house and really wanted to find it!
It ended up being a WoodWick candle and the scent is 'Amber Woods'. I have never been much of a floral or air freshenery scent kind of gals, so anything with undertones of vanilla, sandalwood, or rich, dark smells get my vote. I have never had a WoodWick candle before and was also impressed with how different it was than your average candle. Go figure-the name says it all, "wood wick"...the wick is literally wooden! It is neat and crackles as you burn it!
So if this wasn't a total plug for WoodWick candles, I don't know what is...but they rock and I doubt I will ever buy anything but from here on out! Let me know if you have any other favorite scents from this brand. Happy Smelling!

That candle does smell amazing! We are using some for our wedding reception. I think it will go with our fall decor.

Do your remember when I had a Woodwick candle? You ended up taking the bottle since it had a W on it. It wasn't a candle...it had scented oil w/sticks.....
