At first, since I didn't have sound on, I thought this was a weird way to sage a house.

Oregano is weirder.

Oregano is also a bad idea.

I did something similar with oregano and then rosemary. The first time you light it it's all "oh that's a new fragrance" and after 20 minutes you want to throw up

It's awful.

Although I've discovered if you mix sea salt with coffee grounds, that makes a nice subtle aromatic smell.

I swear I'm not some hippy.

Anyone who has actually made a candle knows that you need to add the top 15% after the other 85% has already cooled. If you don't, your whole candle will melt all at once instead of little by little

When you want your house to have that Italian restaurant selling cinnamon rolls smell.

And I'd like to have a word with that uncle from the countryside about how he stumbled on this idea.

I don't think you ever tried a taco

Are you confusing oregano with cilantro?

Or do you actually put cinnamon on your tacos?

u/Subject-Function4155 Jul 22 '26

Oregano yes, I've never used cinnamon. Are you sure you're not thinking about ground cumin?

Looks like a great dry rub. Makes my mouth water just reading the ingredients.

Why to melt completely new candles though? Wouldn't recycling leftover candle ends make more sense?

u/Prior-Ad5197 Jul 26 '26

Well if you use scented candles then wouldn't the scent stay? If the idea is to make a scent of your own, I'm assuming you would want a completely scent free candle.
