You are exactly right about the burning of candles, and being as "odor eaters". Where I used to live, the Asian communities routinely burnt candles as soon as a meal had been eaten, in order to clear the air of lingering food scents.

I've heard others, not clued in, describe the "candle burning" as a religious "offering". lol.

And then there's that old chestnut about smells and "lighting a match!". Well, well. I suppose that might also, in some circles, be considered a "religious offering", too. ;)

Rush prefers the scent of gardenias. I’m seasonal in my selection of burnt “offerings”; pine or juniper for most the year. In the heat of summer, a verbena or mango. In the fall, I prefer a warmer scent, like cinnamon. Spring? Lavender.
