I think you are either a candle person or you're not. I can completely understand why some people 'wouldn't get it', but personally I love them and would happily spend good money on them. I've recently enjoyed trying out a few different ones and finding out what kind of scents I prefer. It's difficult as I don't yet have my own place so all the candles I burn need to be bedroom scents. When I have my own flat every room will definitely have it's own beautiful candle.
