I'm kind of like you disalan in that I don't consider myself a seasonal burner but I do keep certain scents particularly for some seasons. Like I just made sure to re-order Under The HArvest Moon, Witch's Brew, Monster Mash, Trick Or Treat and Bite Me for Halloween. Though I like to burn those scents any time of the year I made sure I had them for when I was in the Halloween spirit and REALLY wanted to melt them.
There are still certain scents that I prefer to burn only in certain seasons though. Like Cold December Night I only like when it is in the colder months and closer to the end of the year. While I really like the scent, I just never feel like burning it any other time than that. However scents like Sweet Snow which is probably considered more a winter time scent I will burn in the dead of summer. For me that is just one scent I could melt anytime.
While I don't consider myself a seasonal burner I have found that I do have a slight pattern. I tend to melt the more fruity and florally scents in the summer and I tone those down in the colder months and try more earthy scents in the fall. However I melt bakery all year long. I am a bakery gal at heart after all and that is mainly what makes up most of my wax stash. I think I just melt something that coincides with my mood that day. If my nose is stuffed up I will melt Sweet Snow to help clear it. If I am a little nauseous then I melt Chai Tea which wont make me sick. If I am cold I melt something like Sugared Corn Pudding or any other warm bakery scent. If I'm hot I burn a fruity scent like Raspberry Zinger or Strawberry Margarita. And so on an son on.. So there is somewhat of a method to my madness lol.

I'm the same way too. I will never be seen with a fruity scent past October, but I burn bakery and what others consider fall scents are in my warmer all year round.
There are certain scents that are fall and winter though that I don't melt any other time of the year ( I don't have any examples because I haven't found any from cbv yet).
Clean scents always go in my house around the year because we have three cats that we have to mask the smell of!

You really summed up how I choose my scents every day. I think I will have to add Chai Tea to my wish list. I have Stress Relief which has chai tea, peppermint and lavender but I can't pick out the chai tea. Stress Relief is a well loved scent among my family. I'm finding that mint scents tend to be loved unanimously. Witch's Brew, Trick Or Treat, and Monster Mash sound like scents I should further inspect as well. I love Fall and Halloween!

Chai Tea is a wonderfully homey and soothing scent...well at least to me it is and I've never even had an actual Chai Tea. You can actually smell a little of all the scents in the description. It's just a really warming kind of scent with a touch of spice that isn't cinnamony.

Granted I do like the powder mixes with warm milk and cinnamon, but they're so good!

Lol well I do live out in like the middle of amish country. My backyard is a cornfield and we didn't get a Starbucks here until 2 years ago. Though I should try one sometime. I love tea and all the stuff it has in it, but I'm a creature of habit so everytime I go to Starbucks I always get a peppermint hot chocolate with an oatmeal raisin cookie. I'm so predictable lol.

Well if you go to Starbucks I suggest your first chai tea should be their iced tazo chai tea. It's fantastic! And around fall I like to add a pump of pumpkin.

I usually don't have trouble sleeping, but when I do (if I'm ever not feeling well), I will melt Chai Tea and it really does help me sleep. And for the record, I love me some Chai Tea latte (not the straight herbal tea). Cayla, you've got to try it sometime!

Thank you Cayla and Brittany I do like actual real chai tea so I'm happy you both like this scent. Another tea scent I have been curious about is Mint Tea.

That's funny I just received Mint Tea in the mail on Saturday. It is still curing of course but what get is a strong brewed tea with equal parts cool peppermint. It is an interesting scent so far.
