I want a glorious scented candle! Help!

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

I want a gorgeously scented candle basically! I’ve never lived in a house that I can use a candle in until now and I want to celebrate with a candle!

A friend uses Esteban candles which are stunning but seems to be super hard to get more then a basic range of scents.

I don’t like Yankee candles

I like fresh clean scents, not to sweet.

Thank you

ESPA candles are amazing. Seriously like walking straight into a spa.

Definitely Diptyque. I love their Tuberous (? Spelling) one.

[LoafofSellotape]

Parks candles are amazing.

[AmateurSwami]

The Aldi jobMalone rip offs are gorgeous and not too sweet

TK Maxx sell candles super cheap - you need to give them a good sniff as some are fresher than others.

Aldi's candles in their numbered scents are actually really great - I think they're as good as Jo Malone.

If you're really pushing the boat out, Diptique are AMAZING. But unjustifiably expensive.

[Poochnewbie]

Jo Malone do great candles. Pomegranate Noir is my favourite.

[Propertyofhood]

Diptyque - they really are the best scented candles by an absolute mile. I have tried loads from a range of prices, and Diptyque pisses all over all of them! £42 a pop though, ouch!

I LOVE Baies, but you might find it a bit sweet.

[Belgravian]

If you’re on a budget then Tk Maxx and Homesense sell Parks Candles which are inexpensive but have some nice fragrances.

[TheVanguardSix]

Zara white jasmine.

It is glorious!

[NaturalBornWoman]

I really like St Eval candle company, who have a lot of fresh and herbal fragrances. My last Diptyque one smoked horribly despite taking care of the wick. Le Labo candles are gorgeous.

[FraggleRocking]

Capri candle from Anthropologie. Not the cheapest but it is absolutely worth it. Lasts ages and smells amazing.

[BertrandRussell]

Cire Trudon Spiritus Sancti

I won’t link because I am ashamed of the price-but it is so lovely. Sharp and subtle.

[ChelseaCat]

Juliette at Home do some great ones - Gooseberry jam is delish!

[Frazzlerock]

I love my candle that was a gift. Its Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede.
Its so gorgeous and the smell drifts through the whole house. Not sweet, just really fresh.

[Pinkarsedfly]

Neom or Diptyque are my favourites.

Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin is lovely and fresh.

TK Maxx often have This Works candles in, and I once got a lovely mandarin scented one which I now always look out for if I’m in there.

[CurbsideProphet]

I buy soy wax candles from this company and they are lush:

[FatTwat69]

Heyland and Whittle Whiff Away is a lovely clean smell.

I also love St Eval Tranquility.

[kalinkafoxtrot45]

I second the suggestion to go to TKMaxx and get a This Works candle. I love them and they last ages.

[Luckingfovely]

Aldi dupes are good.

Diptique and Jo Malone are brilliant if in budget, but I don't think you need to spend that much.

As it is your first time buying, I would go to TKMaxx/Home Sense and sniff!

You can't know from anyone else's tastes online what you like - sniff away and choose the ones that you like best!

St Eval are a great buy there if you spot them.

[Vasya]

How much are you willing to pay? I have a lot of recommendations but it all depends on budget!

[Luckingfovely]

Oh and one to avoid - someone gave me a WoodWick candle which is supposed to crackle like a real fire.

It sounded like a swarm of giant prehistoric killer wasps had invaded my office!!

[Lovemenorca]

Please ignore Aldi / supermarket suggestions

Nice enough but not a treat. And I’ve tried them all.

Neom
Jo malone
Dipytique

Aldi!
