Spiced Pumpkin bump!! Doesn't Yankee Candle make that one? My wife brought one of those home one time and now I buy them for her!! I usually can't stand strong aromas but I love those!!
To: GOP_Lady
That's good to know, I use their candles and love them. Also, Pier 1 candles are led free, in fact they advertise that throughout the store.

How about a ban on all Made in China goods?

Ah yes, the machine shop! Cutting oils and fluids, intermingling with the subtle, yet pleasant bouquet provided by iron oxide, acetylene, hot steel, the nasal assault from arc welding, and the ever present, gets in the back of your throat so you can
taste it bombardment from surface grinding. Yes!
The machine shop. A place for men and manly smells. God help me I love it. It gives napalm a good run for the money in the hierarchy of smells.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
It smells like victory.

It's discrimination, I say. Baking cookies - bleh. Lavender - blah. Roses - feh. I want scents for me... ;) my old boyfriend always provided a nice male "scent" after a good meal, thank you very much.
Now you know why we ladies perfer the "foo foo" girlie scents, LOL!

Yes, Spiced Pumpkin is very popular during the holiday season. They introduced "Pumpkin Pie" last holiday season, which I like better. "Harvest" is very, very nice also.
P.S. You guys are too funny. LOL.

Well, I'm not talking about a scent called "Mexican Emission", that smells like the aftermath of a burrito dinner, you know ;)
It just seems to me that Yankee Candle is passing up half the consumers in the country by not making products that appeal to them. Shortsighted, if you ask me...

The machine shop. A place for men and manly smells. And the sounds. The thrum of v-belts. The whir of the machinery. The hiss of a cutting torch followed by the clang of steel hitting concrete. The "frying bacon" sound a sharp cutoff tool makes in a lathe.

That's very true. Personally, I don't like the sweet stuff either. I prefer the "woodsy" scents myself, that way my male friends that visit don't get too overwhelmed with the "girlie stuff" (giggle)

"my old boyfriend always provided a nice male "scent" after a good meal, thank you very much." Apparently he didn't didn't smell like your father. (Remember the article, "women like men who smell like their father?")

I have yet to meet the guy who smelled like my dad. Except a few firemen I know, who smelled like smoke (dad was a fireman), LOL!

I want scents for me... Ummm, LOL. Never mind.

Yeah, I can sense dirty thoughts even across the net - you just keep that to yourself, pal :^)
To: tacticalogic
The hiss of a cutting torch followed by the clang of steel hitting concrete. Yes indeed. I only need close my eyes, and harken back in infinite detail to the first time I witnessed this act as a young boy. The sheer, simplistic beauty of it! The realization that metal can be cut with fire is one of the rites of passage from boy to man.
