That Selfridges have 20% off all candles including Jo Malone and Diptyque.

No need to thank me 😂 (Put my order in before I posted just incase there was a rush!)

Do they?! I can't see the discounts on the Diptyque ones!

You have to use the code Selfcce showme

glueandstick · 25/11/2016 22:20

Use the code SELFCCE

Aha! Thank you!

Leanback · 25/11/2016 22:22

20% off clothes and home and 10% off beauty. Just got some fancy make up brushes myself.

Also, lovers of expensive candles - Oliver Bonas candles are made by the same supplier with the same ingredients as Jo Malone ones. They are a LOT cheaper.....

I thought you were going to say that they are a complete waste of money and that you may as well set fire to a £10 note. Xmas Blush

glueandstick · 25/11/2016 23:01

Nope. I bloody love them!

Thank you!!! Smile

GladAllOver · 25/11/2016 23:15

Have you never wondered why candles are usually sold by the same shops that sell cleaning products and paint?

chickenowner · 25/11/2016 23:20

Are they?

thingsthatgoflumpinthenight · 25/11/2016 23:20

No

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 25/11/2016 23:23

Sorry but if it ain't Yankee it's just plain Wanky

glueandstick · 26/11/2016 05:09

I'm fairly sure Diptyque don't do loo cleaner (and if they did it would be amazing Grin) and waitrose stocks carrots as well. Clearly a link!

Yankee is nasty chemically crap

LadyOfTheCanyon · 26/11/2016 06:48

Every year I buy the Diptyque pine/resin scented candle and the ESPA cinnamony/spicey one because I have usually earned loads of points at Libertys

I fucking love posh candles.

MNRandom · 26/11/2016 07:24

I have never smelt a pleasant scented Yankee candle. Not ever.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 26/11/2016 07:30

Someone who normally fills their house with Jo Malone and diptyque candles gave me a Yankee candle last year. I have subsequently gone NC. Wink

Anniegetyourgun · 26/11/2016 07:47

I thought you were going to say they were made with some unlikely, unpleasant ingredient which Snopes would discredit in a heartbeat (bless them).

WhisperingLoudly · 26/11/2016 07:57

Thanks OP just stocked up on tubereuse!

WhisperingLoudly · 26/11/2016 07:58

And Yankee give me an appalling headache if I just walk past them in a shop - the thought of lighting one makes me feel nauseous

WhooooAmI24601 · 26/11/2016 08:00

I'd only buy a Yankee Candle for someone I truly despise. They give me migraines with their awful scents.

I do like a Jo Malone, and in terms of scent versus cost it works out cheaper I think.

JeNeSuisPasVotreMiel · 26/11/2016 08:02

I love a quality scented candle.
But Yankee are just cheap chemical guff.

Honeyandfizz · 26/11/2016 08:04

Agree on the Yankee candle front, wouldnt buy them for my enemy. Vile artificial smell.
