Scented floating candles
Floating candles tend to be unscented, because they're often used at the dinner table and no one wants fragrance
competing with food flavors and aroma.
However, if food is not involved, there is also a wide range of scented floating candles to choose from.
Floating candles don't have to be formal; you can find a wide variety of shapes, ranging from a wide variety of
flowers in varying colors (and fragrances), bugs, insects, leaves and butterflies, to animals and novelty items
like ghosts and cartoon shapes and characters.
Floating candles can also work outdoors. I've even seen them used to great effect on a sheltered fishpond (although
I'm not sure what the fish thought about the whole idea!). Some designs have recessed wicks to shelter the flame
from unkind winds.
There are a couple of obvious safeguards. Make sure the container hold the candle is watertight, and make sure
it's not inflammable.
