Does the smell of candle wax make you nauseous?

No. I think you are the only one.

It does have a distinct aroma; however, it’s not an unpleasant one for me!!!

@chyna -Lol!
@LadyMarissa -No aroma at all. I was melting wax to coat the bottoms of clay pots and the fumes made me ill.

@lucillelucillelucille I’ve NEVER had that problem, so now I’m inclined to agree with @chyna!!! ;}

Nope.

No.

No.
The smell of the interiors of cars and buses do, though.

Oh, LucyThrice, think of yourself as uniquely sensitive!
(Nope here, also)

It gets on my wick too!

No.

@canidmajor – I just read this:
Short Term

Inhaling paraffin wax base causes irritation of the eyes and the respiratory tract especially for sensitive people [3]. Also it can cause acute to severe nausea depending on the person [3]. Paraffin wax base in contact with the skin is dangerous because it can cause serious burns [3]. Also, direct contact of paraffin wax fumes to the eye can cause irruption [3]. Additionally, thermal burns can occur if the melted product itself gets in the eye [3]. Overall, short term symptoms after exposure to paraffin wax fumes include irritation of the eyes, skin, respiratory system, overall discomfort and nausea [3].

Guessing you need to switch to beeswax candles then!
And damn, you really are sensitive! :-)

@canidmajor -Lol!I was melting wax in an electric skillet to coat the bottoms of pots to resist glaze. No fancy candles involved. :(

No, I like candle wax, it’s one think that doesn’t make me feel sick to smell. But they do have different kinds of course.

If it’s scented, yes!
