What is it about the scent of candles?

OK, so they make a room smell good.  They give a warm glow to a room.  In the bathtub full of bubbles, a glass of wine, some soft music, and only that light and fragrance...relaxation! Sorry, but this posting is "G" rated so we will not indulge in the bedroom effects!
Are you wondering why I am talking about candles?
Some time ago I met a lady through the Internet while trying to get information candles (wax and string and stuff). She was so lovely as she answered all my questions. From there, I got her to take me to her Etsy site, Great Lakes Soybean Candles and then her FaceBook page
Time passes and she does this great giveaway of 12 candles....12 different candles! MY CHOICE! Now that is 'such a big deal'!  It took me a long time to choose my 12...look at these choices:
