NO ONE buys anything other than the vanilla, do they?

I went to Ikea with my friend this week (I say 'my' friend and not 'a' friend because I only have the one) and we discussed the scent of Ikea candles at great length.

The final conclusion, which I know you're all dying to know, is that you would have to buy an entire pallet of them to get any sort of proper scent from them at home.

They smell gorgeous in the store (mostly) but they don't have the same effect at home.

ASDA sell a nice white one that is rips of the Yankee Candle Clean Cotton scent. I think they call it Fresh Linen, and the one I bought kept it's scent quite well, even when not lit.

But what about the tealights? Everyone buys tealights. It's the law. That and meatballs. Although, obviously, not for lighting purposes.

McNewPants2013 · 14/04/2013 21:56

What's wrong with matchy matchy candles :)

Iaintdunnuffink · 14/04/2013 21:59

I don't know, the meatballs have lots of horse power.

Boom Boom

NumTumDeDum · 14/04/2013 22:04

NumTumDeDum · 14/04/2013 22:04

FarelyKnuts · 14/04/2013 22:05

You're lucky your DH bought a candle at all.

Mine doesn't get anything that's not on the beer aisle in Tesco's.

Your DH bought a candle! I think you should have posted in relationships as he is probably trying to tell you something. Did he buy matching curtains?

LadyMountbatten · 14/04/2013 22:56

he rang
" what else do you need?"

It wasnt like the Milk Tray man

Cant stand vanilla or any other sweet smelling candle. Vomit inducing so a fresh apple fragrance is lovely.

CleopatrasAsp · 15/04/2013 03:14

YABVVU. Vanilla scented anything is vile.

DeskPlanner · 15/04/2013 07:05

I've got a green Ikea candle, not that one though. Smells of nothing. I can't buy anything vanilla, it makes me feel sick. So on that basis, HINBU and YABU. Grin

thistlelicker · 15/04/2013 07:06

The red one is the best!!!!

DeskPlanner · 15/04/2013 07:07

You did buy tea lights though ? Confused

LadyMountbatten · 15/04/2013 08:04

I don't think turquoise.
I know red. Green vanilla and .. That's it ?
