Which Scented Candle Matches Your Personality?

CAUTION: Burn within sight. Keep away from children, pets, drafts and that one roommate who blows candles out without asking. Trim wick to a quarter inch before each use. Do not burn for more than four hours, unless the show you're watching ends on a cliffhanger, in which case the manufacturer understands. Side effects may include coziness, a sudden urge to buy a throw blanket and telling guests the name of the scent before they've taken off their coats.

The small print on the bottom of the jar never mentions the most important part, which is that the candle you pick says a lot about you. The person burning Fresh Linen owns a label maker and is not afraid to use it. The Smoked Oud fan reads crime novels by candlelight and answers texts in single sentences. Cinnamon people start decorating for the holidays while it's still technically summer. Sea Salt folks have sand in their car and zero regrets.

Fifteen questions about Sunday mornings, borrowed sweaters, dying phone batteries and the clutter on your nightstand will reveal which jar you belong in. Strike a match, get comfortable and take the quiz. Please don't leave it unattended.
