I stumbled across these Woodfire candles by Illume the other day at Central Market and was compelled to smell them instantly. I love the smell of a campfire or the smoke in the air when fall finally hits here in Texas (if ever it does) and people start using their fireplaces. I absolutely love the smell of these candles but I wonder how it would be to have this burning in my house. Would I start to get overwhelmed by the smell and fell like my house was burning down around me? Or worse, totally forget that is the candle burning and truly panic that my house was on fire?
I kind of want to buy one just to see, just because I love the smell that much. I'm not sure if that is genius or crazy on my part, however.
Are these the ones with the crackling wood wick, too?
I think you should buy them so you can tell me if they smell good.

I bought one and had to return it to the store. Great in the jar, awful when burning.

Bath and Body Works has a Firewood candle that's amazing. Smoky, but has other underlying scents that keep it from smelling like real fire. Definitely doesn't smell like the house is on fire...

I second the B&BW Fireside candle. It's lovely. My favorite though is the Marshmallow Fireside. Even better.
