Actually scented scented candle recommendations

[GorillaGlue]

I’ve recently found myself really getting into a good candle, especially as a cosy addition to this weather.

Any recommendations for actually potent scented candles? That leave the room with a nice aroma? The ones I’ve had so far say they’re scented but can burn for a while and I can’t actually smell anything (may be because they’re cheap supermarket candles) so I’m willing to put a little bit of money in for an actual smell!

Thanks! :)

these are amazing - I’ve got the rhubarb one and it’s gorgeous- can smell it even when not lit! Lasts forever too (looking at dh who forgot to blow it out one evening)…

Ooh this looks good and a nice treat! Thank you :)

Money no object then Diptique. If you want supermarket prices then Ikea are really good and do have a proper distinct smell even if they’re quite basic e.g. vanilla.

Wickford & Co - you can get them in home bargains. Super cheap and smell lovely.

Brand Alley have loads of the high end candle brands often 50% or more off.

DW candles in TK Maxx- I’ve never had one let me down. I look them out especially.

I absolutely love Voluspa. I’ve had several and they are all gorgeous - strong scents, not artificial at all, and lovely containers. They aren’t cheap but they are absolutely worth it.

Sand and Fog 2 wick candles from tkmaxx are good

I agree with @Bitzee Diptique are the best scented candles I ever used but they are eye wateringly expensive. On the plus side they don’t have to burn long to scent a room so they last a long time.

White Company candles especially the Winter one. Can smell it even when not lit.

Diptyque all the way!! Gorgeous. Baies

I bought a pack of 12 cranberry and orange tealights from Morrisons for £2. They are lovely and fresh smelling and can smell them even when not lit.

During covid a lot of people were reviewing scented candles online and saying they had no scent - but actually they had lost their sense of smell. So can you smell other things at the moment, or is there any chance you could have had covid recently?

St Eval ones are lovely. I had their tea light advent calendar last year.

Jo Loves, the pomelo one is nice as is the white rose and lemon leaves. Nest do nice ones as well.

Diptyque or Trudon but they’re pricey.

St Eval or Daylsford.

Northern Soul Scents are really lovely, not too strong and not your ‘typical’ smells.

Marmalade do some lovely ones with a lingering scent.

Jesus, the price of these! Folks really do have money to burn!

I was given a nice one from M&S! Makes my office room smell like a spa! I use it when I have clients in and my dogs have been farting. Not sure it helps.

White Company. Their ‘flowers’ one is lovely - rose, jasmine and neroli kind of mix

I really find the Ecowix scented candles very good - but they do have a crackling wooden wick which does annoy some people (although I find it lovely in Autumn and Winter as it sounds like a cosy fireplace)

Have just in a panic has a sniff of the orange segment I was eating and can confirm that I do have a sense of smell! But can also confirm that I was a bit too enthusiastic, squeezed some orange into my eyes and now have burning eyeballs! 😂
