Candle recommendation

Hello,

I'm looking to buy a candle for a gift and I usually buy Yankee but wondered if there was any others that people would recommend.

Thank you

Have you considered a warmer from scentsy?

There was a thread just the other day with lots I'd not heard of..let me see if I can find it.

There you go. I love a Yankee myself as the smell lasts and lasts. DD got some from Skye candle company at Christmas and they are lovely.

I have tried a few others but always go back to Yankee, it's a classic.

DW are usually good. NEOM too

Scentsy is an MLM so I wouldn't ever buy from them. Ridiculous prices not withstanding, they're part of the cult! Grin

Neom are gorgeous. St Eval are also lovely. True Grace

Irusu, expensive but amazing smells and they last for ages.

WoodWick, particularly the ellipse ones that crackle like a fire as they burn. I had Black Onyx bought for me and it’s a beautiful scent, I can often still smell it in the morning after we’ve had it burning the night before.

Just checking my emails and Isle of Skye have 25% off
I'm on that other thread talking about my dreadful experience with St Eval. Black snot from soot pouring out of dd's nose.

Ace1185 · 23/01/2021 20:56

Skye Candle Company are amazing

PeppermintSoda · 23/01/2021 20:59

I like Shearer, Bolsius, Prices, woodwick

wlv12 · 23/01/2021 21:02

Neom and today I got a candle gifted from kindred fires which is lovely but I think that’s more decorative rather than especially scented.

BangingOn · 23/01/2021 21:04

St Eval and Rebecca Tracey are my favourites.

dementedma · 23/01/2021 21:10

Thrilled to see Isle of Skye candles being recommended. Have been extolling their virtues for years. DDs ask for them for every birthday and Christmas. Wooden Heart is lovely.

doadeer · 23/01/2021 21:17

Lumos apothecary are a lovely independent

MissBattleaxe · 23/01/2021 21:20

Parks candles are excellent. I love the gingerbread one and there's a Rose Oud one called Dark Rose or Rose Noir.

WingBingo · 23/01/2021 21:24

Neom are fantastic. I love the relaxing one. They are a proper treat, most quality candles are.

B1rdinthebush · 23/01/2021 21:37

Golden Hour Co (you can find them on Instagram) are amazing. I also love This Works (TK Maxx often have them for about £14/15).

JosephineCollins · 27/01/2021 19:52

a friend of mine is selling them handmade on etsy www.etsy.com/uk/listing/895453790/best-seller-1993-vetiver-cedarwood?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=1993+candle&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&pro=1&frs=1 a luxury but really lovely vetiver scent candle. Similar to Acqua di parma but at much cheaper

St Eval every time, particularly Bay and Rosemary- divine.

Aldi.
I dont buy Yankee any more. The Aldi number candles are amazing, smell wonderful and dont give me a headache. Even better they are about £3.
