Strong smelling reasonably priced candles

[catin8oots]

I love scented candles but I've bought a few cheapo ones recently and they don't smell at all.

Any recommendations?

Some lovely ones from here www.cantocandle.com @catin8oots

Whenever I see a post asking for candle recommendations, I always link to here:

Female founded, developed and owned small business and my mam actually commented yesterday on how long lasting the scents are!

Thank you for all the recommendations

Paddywax are soy and are lovely, particularly the ones in concrete pots. Can be got cheaper occasionally on Amazon too.

So I have started buying wax melts again, last longer and more cost effective especially if you buy from Etsy suppliers.

St Eval & TKMaxx have linked up to do a range - the fig one is lush

I agree with the Home Bargains ones. I'm a bit of a candle junkie and have a lot of expensive ones and can be a bit snobby, but their gingerbread one is lovely and fills the whole house. My dad even thought I'd been baking when he came over last time I had it lit!

@BarborousBarbra ooo I'm guna give the Ginger one a try next time I'm in Home Bargains.

Wickford and co. Amazing smell. Last ans good price

Watching with interest! I am a recent candle fanatic. My friend (a candle expert) says Sand & Fog are the best (& her house smells amazing). I love Aldi ones, but the last couple of times I’ve popped in, they’ve literally had about six candles left.. all of which smelled of a week old cabbage. Is there a candle shortage?!

@Sandalholidays12 Just steer clear of the fruitier scents (probably not in stock this time of year anyway) because they definitely smell much cheaper/chemically than the spicy ones. Still fine the price I suppose!

Bath & Body Works are the absolute best - often have deals too. On the Next website.

Also North Muse - often in TK Maxx - last for ages and reasonably priced. Also have crystals in them too. So pretty.

Another vote for the Sand & Fog ones in TkMaxx, I particularly like the blackberry one

WoodWick are amazing and get them cheap from Homesense.

If you have an Ikea near you, we tend to find their candles good.

For Christmas I always like the M&S Mandarin, Clove and Cinnamon candles.

Hi! I know exactly what you mean; I’ve had the same issue with a few cheaper brands. I’ve found that investing a bit more in good quality candles makes a huge difference. Recently, I discovered a fantastic brand that I’m obsessed with: HomeBlissBoutique. Their scents are really rich and long-lasting, and they have such a lovely variety. I’ve been burning their Lime, Basil & Mandarin Scented Soy Wax Candle and it fills the whole room with a beautiful aroma. You can check them out here: homeblissboutique/shop/

St Eval are my favourite. Their tea lights smell wonderful and last all evening.

these.

Just go to T K Maxx. They have loads (in ours anyway) reasonably priced.

I second this.
I bought Yankee Candle wax melt ( for fraction price of the large candle jar)and it smells exactly like the candle, same strength plus- it will last ages, mine is probably 5-6 months old and still going strong.

Depending on what you call reasonably priced I have discovered Charles Farris tin candles they are £25 but they are very strong smelling and worth it for the money IMO. My whole downstairs and upstairs landing is filled with beautiful aromas when lit.

Would second paddywax candles
i find wax melts better as well. The smell is stronger and almost instant (and you don’t need to worry about burning for hours to prevent your camdle tunnelling)
