Just sayin, the candles at YK are probably synthetic chemical scented rather than essential oil of rose (way pricey) scented, setting up your limbic system to recoil at the actual rose aroma. Also, rose gardens are generally sprayed with toxic chemicals for mites, aphids, and other critters that like to eat roses, which will leave you less than pleasantly informed. The roses in florist shops from South America are so toxic, a friend who purchased a florist ship broke put on a rash and had to find organic suppliers
So when you smell the roses, find some organic and or unsprayed specimens. You might be amazed.
could identify the natural (strong preference) rose scent to synthetic blindfolded 100%, nose just knows.
always wondered about the variety of natural rose & flower scents, ranging from jasmine like, citrusy, clove like, fruity, minty…there are so many… have a salvia which has flowers that smell like Concord grapes, a rose that smells like apricots (Lady Hillingdon), once had another rose that smells like candy canes (Portadown Fragrance)…

Thank you. 🥰
Thanks very much for this very interesting commentary. I do like the smell of roses - on roses, but prefer caandles to smell of beeswax.
Interesting.... almost everyone I know loves candles (sorry, not me)
