Wickless! I'm definitely a Scentsy girl! In fact i've converted so many die-hard candle fans. It's just so much easier when you don't have to worry about remembering to blow out that flame :)

So glad I don't have to choose since For Every Home has candles and cubes :D. And we can warm our candles on our warmers.

We love candles and memory melts (wickless). It really just depends on our mood.

I love both. There are times when I don't want to worry about the flame
and other days that I love the warmth of a candle light in the house.

I agree with most of you who say BOTH!

I LOVE candles lit, especially in the winter. I grew up with Mom who burned them all the time and the ambiance is incredible. Glowy and warm and flickery, lol

I use melts too , most often in the summer since it doesn't heat up the house. Very often I use them in a cute little tealight burner.

I keep one burner on 24/7 downstairs that provides some light for my cats in the middle of the night and makes that area ( litter boxes/laundry ) smell fabulous.

I also LOVE candles outside on a summer night. Makes the patio or deck look AMAZING!

And as a retailer, I like to offer the option to my customers :-)

If you asked me that question 2 months ago my answer would have been candles but my husband and I recently had to paint our kitchen due to black walls near the ceiling which was from cooking and my love of burning candles. I promised my husband I would not burn any more candles in the house so had to find an alternative to candles and have fallen in love with Scentsy, so my answer today is WICKLESS!!

My company offers wicked, wickless and melts in all scents of our soy candles. I burn our wicked soy candles every day.

I like both, but probably use my warmer more than actually burning candles. I agree with Deb, that as a candle rep, I do like having the option to offer both products.

I use and love both! I also like to give my customers the option of purchasing what they want, whether it be wicked or wickless. :)

I like having the option to choose from both. I know that I would miss burning my candles if I only had the choice of buying/using just the warmer. Plus we have lots of storms and having power outages makes having candles to burn handy!

I love using both also, then you get the best of both worlds!

Definitely both! Though I do use melters most of the time due to my crazy cats who like running across tables and counters all the time! I love burning candles in the evenings when all is quiet and settled in my home while reading a good book.

Both, I like having options for scenting my world, I use them both. :)

I don't have a preference because I love both for different situations. If I want my downstairs to smell good while I'm upstairs, I keep my melter on. When I'm staying in a room I love the ambiance of a flame. I like offering others the option too.

When I buy a candle (well, when I used to!) it was because I liked the scent, not whether it was wick or no wick. I've never thought "Hey, I'm buying this candle because I want to see it all lit up". I bought it because I loved the fragrance. I do keep a couple wick candles around in case the power goes out, but last time I had to do that was 3 years ago.

I use both! I use different applications in different rooms. And sometimes I prefer scented diffusers or oil instead of wax.

I love having the option myself, and I know my customers appreciate the variety I can offer. I definitely have some diehard candle fans.

I love Both! I sell partylite and am pleased that they are starting to come out with warmers! They are so easy just to leave going and not worry about forgeting to blow out the candle, but sometimes candles are needed!

I use both. in my office I use a warmer, in the bathrooms I have a plug in with our melts. in my dining room I burn a candle which will fill the rest of the house with scent
