My husband and I are in Austin visiting son #1 and his lovely wife—I’ll post about Austin upon my return.  Here is a post on the fragrance of home.

To scent or not to scent.  That became the question when, quite by accident, I discovered that one of our friends is allergic to scented candles, soaps and perfumes.

We have had this couple in our home for dinner many times and there has never been any comment regarding the candles that I traditionally light while entertaining.  I respect his allergies so I will light only unscented candles for the upcoming dinner party.  I had to purchase them special since I only have scented ones.  Probably a good thing to have on hand in case this comes up again with other guests.

I do love the scented candles by Votivo (Red Currant is a favorite) and Aromatique (Sorbet is very fresh smelling).  I tend to select spicy fragrances for the fall/winter months and citrus/fresh for the spring and summer.

Do you enjoy a scented home?  What are some of your favorite candle makers/scents?
