AIBU to tell expensive candle lovers....

[glueandstick]

That Selfridges have 20% off all candles including Jo Malone and Diptyque.

No need to thank me 😂 (Put my order in before I posted just incase there was a rush!)

[ShowMePotatoSalad]

Do they?! I can't see the discounts on the Diptyque ones!

[Leanback]

You have to use the code Selfcce showme

[glueandstick]

Use the code SELFCCE

[glueandstick]

Ah too late!

[ShowMePotatoSalad]

Aha! Thank you!

[Leanback]

20% off clothes and home and 10% off beauty. Just got some fancy make up brushes myself.

[GinIsIn]

Also, lovers of expensive candles - Oliver Bonas candles are made by the same supplier with the same ingredients as Jo Malone ones. They are a LOT cheaper.....

[GrandDesespoir]

I thought you were going to say that they are a complete waste of money and that you may as well set fire to a £10 note.

[glueandstick]

Nope. I bloody love them!

[chickenowner]

Thank you!!!

[GladAllOver]

Have you never wondered why candles are usually sold by the same shops that sell cleaning products and paint?

[chickenowner]

Are they?

[thingsthatgoflumpinthenight]

No

[CherryChasingDotMuncher]

Sorry but if it ain't Yankee it's just plain Wanky

[glueandstick]

I'm fairly sure Diptyque don't do loo cleaner (and if they did it would be amazing ) and waitrose stocks carrots as well. Clearly a link!

[roseshippy]

Yankee is nasty chemically crap

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Every year I buy the Diptyque pine/resin scented candle and the ESPA cinnamony/spicey one because I have usually earned loads of points at Libertys

I fucking love posh candles.

[MNRandom]

I have never smelt a pleasant scented Yankee candle. Not ever.

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Someone who normally fills their house with Jo Malone and diptyque candles gave me a Yankee candle last year. I have subsequently gone NC.

[Anniegetyourgun]

I thought you were going to say they were made with some unlikely, unpleasant ingredient which Snopes would discredit in a heartbeat (bless them).

[WhisperingLoudly]

Thanks OP just stocked up on tubereuse!

[WhisperingLoudly]

And Yankee give me an appalling headache if I just walk past them in a shop - the thought of lighting one makes me feel nauseous

[WhooooAmI24601]

I'd only buy a Yankee Candle for someone I truly despise. They give me migraines with their awful scents.

I do like a Jo Malone, and in terms of scent versus cost it works out cheaper I think.

[JeNeSuisPasVotreMiel]

I love a quality scented candle.
But Yankee are just cheap chemical guff.

[Honeyandfizz]

Agree on the Yankee candle front, wouldnt buy them for my enemy. Vile artificial smell.
