I am in desperate need of new candles & hand/body lotion.
My favorite candle (Fresh Linen) has been discontinued from Bath & Body (thanks BBW) and my Body Lotion (Milk H2O) is running low and I used to get it on sale ($24 for 24oz), they dont sell that size anymore and i cant justify paying $20 for 12oz.
Whats a good solid favorite??
I dont like things toooo strong (I dont want it to overpower my perfume) and my fiance doesnt like the house to smell "too much like a girl".

    Their lilac scented candles are really great, fresh, and springy. Dont know if its too girly, but the hubby doesn't mind it (or at least he doesn't say if he does lol)

    Twilight Woods will NOT be discontinued...it's one of the top selling scents . (yes I work there. lol)

    BBW's lilac candle is the only one I've ever purchased and didn't hate...love love love it.

    I have no suggestion based on lotions as you don't want things too strong other than try the Shea Butter lotion from True Blue Spa or something as simple as Dove lotion.

    B &BW White citrus is really nice. I also like Sea Island Breeze... for a more floral tome I go for Carried Away. I am in Canada and we have a store called Dans un Jardin (in a garden) my favourite scent is Jasmine Tea. I like light, clean smelling perfumes and creams.
    My favorite hand cream is Satin Hands (Mary Kay) there is an odourless one and one that smells like peach.
    Hope you find something new that suits you!

    For candles I like Scentsy ~ Luna is my favorite. I do not like the open flame with kids in the house and I am too forgetful. For lotion I only put it on my calves that was it isn't too strong and I can wear just about any of them I like.

    Candles:
    Sugar Blossom from Target (kind of sweet smelling, but totally subtle)
    Scentsy - white tea and cactus & clean breeze (my bf also asks for the "not too girly" smells and he really likes these scents)

    Lotions:
    Exotic coconut (it's insane the amount of compliments I get when I wear this scent)
    Warm vanilla sugar (classic - can't go wrong with this)
    Lemon-vanilla...it was one of their summer scents, I think it might be discontinued

    Have fun shopping :)

    I do NOT like anything linen, flowery or cottony SO you may not like my favorites... but I am a HUGE fan of anything Satsuma from the Body Shop =)
    I also like coconut lime verbania and tangerine sunburst from BBW
    Love spell from Victoria's is a fave too, but that's awfully girly and your beau might not like it lol

    I get my candles from Yankee Candle and they also discontinued my fave - Caramel something. Lotion I LOVE is BBW's Japanese Maple Blossom. I also wear that perfume though.

    Gold Canyon has my favorite candles, fresh cut roses, and key limepie. But do like Yankee' candles. If I was you I would just buy a few voltives in different scents so you can see which you like the most. (sage and citrus and wedding day is my favorite from Yankee)
    Lotions are Lemongrass & White Lily by Rocky Mountain Soap Company. Its not uncommon for me to be putting some on and the guys in my office coming by and getting a little dollop. It smells like really nice soap.
    My boys get BBW -shower gels.

    Pier one imports has some amazing scent collections Their ginger peach and ocean collections are good if you are trying not to overload your guy with girlie smells.

    For body lotion I use a simple over the counter one. St. Ives renewing body lotion. It has collagen and elastin in it and helps repair and tighten skin. It absorbs fast even for me. (I swear I am a crocodile and it takes centuries for most lotions to absorb) best part is its not greasy and mild enough that I even use it on my face. :) Cost about 10.00 bucks for a big bottle at drug stores.

    Good luck!

    Edit to add
    BBW warm vanilla sugar is amazing also Mark (an avon affiliate) has a set called lemon sugar OMG smells soo good! They have the whole set body spray and all :)

    Scentsy is a wickless candle. The warmer has a lightbulb that warms the wax, the wax comes in over 80 scents. It is sold like Pampered Chef through consultants.

    Ahh thank you for the clarification on Twilight Woods, It's my FAVORITE! I haven't seen it in my store lately though, I'll have to take a better look, maybe they moved it. I have their lilac candle as well, I love it!

    A few weeks ago, I got mini candles from Bath & Body (3 for 5$): peach bellini, pineapple mango and coconut leaves. They smell amazing. Unfortunately, they discontinued my favorite hand lotion, Berry from the Signature Vanillas.

    On a side note, if any of you guys are looking to get amazingly hydrated and smooth skin, I would recommend the True Blue Refreshing Citrus Body Scrub, margarita scented. Best product I have ever tried, and you don't need to moisterise for like 3 days afterwards.
