First time I've ever made candles and I wanted really smelly ones as I like dead posh ones
I made Amber and Lavender (my fave Jo Malone fragrance) and Lime and Fig.
I used soy wax so environmentally friendly and no paraffin and bought tea cups from charity shops so no waste, the ones I've made are actually giant french pottery cups that I got today.
The french cups worked out at £5.40 each as none of the stuff I bought was cheap. Not cheap as chips and if you used paraffin and cheap oils you could make it a lot cheaper. But one heck of a lot cheaper than posh candles.
Dead chuffed me and my home smells lovely.
I have another 15 oils to try - guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year

Oooooooooh, I have just made candles with 10% oils and they really are as good as Diptyque/Jo Malone
