Scented candles

[kaytee87]

Aibu to ask for your favourite scented candle recommendation?

Yankee candles!

Diptique

Shearers- burn really well and not too expensive.

Partylite are my favourite, readily available and affordable.

However I go to tk maxx/Homesense to pick up random jar candles that are massively reduced.

Yankee Are very popular but are pretty shit once you've used other brands.

My absolute favourite are Jo Malone (pomegranate noir especially) but they are very expensive. I also love the anthropologie ones that come in ceramic jars, my favourite is pumpkin soufflé.

The Aldi dupes for jo malone smell great but aren't the strongest - I do like them though. I also like some of the Yankee candle ones but make sure you have a good sniff first because they can be very hit and miss.

Also try made by yassmin, she does candles based on perfume scents and they are lovely!

The White company. I also like the odd WoodWick candle.

Yankee are pretty crappy.

Ive been using yankees for years but I think something's changed? They're more sooty than they used to be and their scents aren't as natural.

A large Yankee candle lasts me 6 weeks, I like to burn a candle every evening once ds is in bed and we've sat down for the evening so it has to be big!

Jo Malone - pomegranate noir

I like Partylite or plain old Ikea.

I've been thinking about jo malone... are they worth the money?

Yankee candles for me but i never burn them because they are a little bit expensive

Jo Malone nectarine blossom and honey and the Neom range

Will get googling these other brands too

None - had to have my whole kitchen screbbed and repainted after I rubbed a mark on the wall. This produced a clean patch in the thin layer of wax that covered the whole room!! They look and smell lovely but make a mess

Much prefer essential oils and a diffuser.

I burn the Ikea candles an often get through a back of 100 tea lights in a very short time!

Jo Malone:- pomegranate noir and nectarine blossom & honey

Much prefer essential oils and a diffuser

I use these too but love the cosy feel of a scented candle in the evening.

I’ve had White Company, Jo Malone, Neom and diptyque over the years, but my current favourite is St Eval. Under a tenner and smells lovely.

Proper Yankees rather than their Simply Home range that seems to be stocked everywhere. Yes they're a little more expensive but hold much better fragrance.

I've been using proper yankees @AnnieOH1 I think they've gone downhill which is a shame as I love the colours and names of them.

Marmalade of London - Pomegranate and Pear

True Grace - Seashore

M&S - Grapefruit and Ginger

I've just got my first jo malone candle and it's lovely. Looove the white company although the one I got for Christmas is almost finished

The recycled Candle Company do a small but fab range and are an up and coming small business. AND the candles use recycled wax so you would win ethical points too!
