Candle recommendations?

Does anyone have any recommendations for candles. I currently use Yankee Candle but I'm after something a little more natural, maybe soy or beeswax rather than paraffin wax? I like quite simple scents, I have a Neom candle which I love but would love something a little cheaper.

Thank you

NC so as not to out myself, but a friend of a friend makes these and they're lovely. My friend has the gingerbread one and it's absolutely divine, the whole house smells festive.

They can be delivered throughout the UK I believe.

My friend bought me some candles from here and I've gone on to buy more myself and gift others. The lily and orchid one is gorgeous.

I'd 200% recommend flower and flame or neom

St Eval - I got the recommendation from a similar thread a few months ago and love them. Made on a farm in Cornwall, made sustainably. They sell them on their own site or via Amazon. I particularly love the Winter Thyme fragrance at the moment.

Pinwheel candles are beautiful!

I was going to recommend Neom, the have 20% off atm I think. By far the best candles I've ever used - no soot and great natural fragrances

Kindness & Co.org CIC, look up this company, these are absolutely Devine and the best part is that all the money goes to charity. I have loads and buy for gifts. The gingerbread one is amazing as are the Christmas ones.

Imperial candles are soy and I would say as good as Yankee if not better, and you get a jewel of some sort in them of different values (pot luck) defo worth a try they burn quite slow and smell good too
