Help! Which luxury candle??

[clpsmum]

I'm not a candle person but have been asked to buy a luxury one as a gift.

I've narrowed it down to
Jo molone
Milton brown
Arran aromatics

Which would you go for? Which would you prefer to receive?

Just to throw another name into the mix.
candles are my very favourite . I love Tuberose and I buy my sister in law a Rose one every year.

What happened ? Diptyque !

Jo Malone. Never had one, but they smell gorgeous when I see them.

Baise by diptyque is a real classic. Or penhaligons smells are amazing

@Trumpton I'm off to google thank you xx

Another vote for Diptyque, benjoin and tubereuse is gorgeous.

Byredo also have lovely candles

Neom!!

Diptyque.

Diptyque.

I’ve been quite unimpressed by Jo Malone. They never seem to burn that evenly and the scent is nice for the first couple of burns but then seems to fade.

I like Diptyque and some of their special editions are in gorgeous holders. I also really like the White Company, but that might not be luxury enough.

Absolutely diptique. No contest. Baies or tuberose for a gift, as suggested by pp.

If your budget is bigger cire trudon make amazing candles too.

Not sure it could be classed as luxury, but Woodwick are lovely, they crackle like a fire when burning and they smell lush! My livingroom feels much more homely when I've got one on the go.

Floris.
Best you can get.

Owen Drew. Smell amazing and it lingers. I love all the candles I've had. Right now, I'm enjoying Montague.

I used to love Jo Malone, but as previously said they don’t burn evenly anymore.

Also, The White Company’s candles are very good and in the grand scheme of “luxury candles” not that expensive, £20.

Molton Brown’s aren’t what they used to be and they have also hiked their prices up

I’d go for The White Company or Diptyque

Tom Ford candles are bloody good too, but pricey.

Diptyque Baies

Diptyque Tubereuse

Cire Trudon. Personally I love Spiritus Sancti but it's not for everyone ( church incense) and probably better for winter.... but there are loads of others to choose from. Divine.

Diptyque and Jo Malone both use paraffin wax and so are not very good for your health. It is also a by product of the petroleum process.
Go for a soy/plant/beeswax based candle and it will be much better for the environment and health.
Neom candles use natural wax as do Jonathan Ward. Hope that helps.

Rituals have some lovely ones

Have you heard of Daylesford? You can buy their candles via Ocado. Very natural and they smell amazing. Cheaper than Jo Malone as well!

Tried Jo Malone/Diptyque/various posh ones... Always prefer the short fat ones from https://www.themeltco.com/ since I discovered them in a beautiful B&B once... I order them online regularly now. They'll also send samples/wax melts (always want to say Max Welts) so you can try all the flavours...

A lot of the smaller artisan brands do luxury candles

They all use soy wax

You can't have a funny prime minister.

Well one who thinks he is!
