Best / strongest smelling candle or diffuser?

25 replies

Bing4859 · 30/01/2023 11:44

Any recommendations for strong smelling candles or diffusers? Ideally nice looking / luxurious ones. I usually use Molton Brown diffusers which are really good and long lasting but they’ve recently reduced the amount of fragrances. I also like the Diptique candles but they’re far too expensive for anything other than a very luxury burn for a couple of hours! Any recommendations welcome, thank you!

I picked up a large (3 wick) lavender candle for about £13 from Waitrose this week that is actually quite nice. The brand is AromaWorks. Even when it's not lit it releases quite a noticeable (nice) smell

Bath and Bodyworks really strong which is great, but hard to find fragrances that aren’t very synthetic smelling. Neom also lovely!

I love Valente, not too expensive but really nice without being over powering
People I have recommended them too have loved them as well

Neom candle someone bought me for Christmas. Have to blow it out after an hour as its overpowering!

Woodwick candles are the strongest I've ever had.

Another vote for Valentte. The Neroli and Lemon candle is gorgeous.

I bought some diffusers from Floral street recently. Even DH commented that the scent was noticeable when you walked past the door of the rooms they were in.

Bing4859 · 30/01/2023 18:59

@karmakameleon Ooh - what scents did you buy?

This is my favourite diffuser, they last 6 months.

fatsinglereadytomingle · 30/01/2023 19:13

Soul candles are brilliant.
They're the only diffusers I use/buy for gifts

BigFloppa · 30/01/2023 19:14

Murmur ones are amazing

Findyourneutralspace · 30/01/2023 19:15

For anyone on a budget, the Aldi Jo Malone dupes are brilliant! I love no 1.

tootrueblue · 30/01/2023 19:28

The White Company - so far I've had the Winter candle and Spring and Oakmoss diffusers and all are lovely and throw a strong scent. Packaging is lovely too.

Yankee candles are nice, especially Pumpkin And Tonka Bean.

Just some random ones to try. Think the two I’ve opened so far are sunflower pop and santal and both wonderful.

I love Florence and Bee candles, they're local to me in Buckinghamshire. I was an avid Joe Malone fan but then came across these at a market for a fraction of the price of JM. They're now my go to!

baddecisionsmakegreatcompany · 02/12/2024 21:05

I second Aldi - the candles are brilliant - burn really well and fragrance is noticeable but not overpowering

Dreamtheimpossibledream · 02/12/2024 21:09

Definitely Neom, they are expensive but they are the only candies I have used that really release a proper scent that stays. I am less enamored with the diffuser.

Wimbledonmum1985 · 02/12/2024 21:19

Aery - best I’ve tried. Last forever.

HelenSpaint · 13/12/2024 22:15

They are way to strong for me really horrible

HelenSpaint · 13/12/2024 22:17

The NeOm ones smell horrible really don’t like them
