Scented candles

[kaytee87]

Aibu to ask for your favourite scented candle recommendation?

Partylite are fab. Only stumbled across them as my dsis started selling them. They're lush. Really good scent throw. The wicks don't burn black like Yankees do. The was melts last ages too.

I love Jo Malone but only get them occasionally because of the cost. Aldi dupes smell really good but are not very strong I can barely smell them after burning them for an hour. I loved the White Company Winter candle at Christmas and the whole house smelled like it after 5 minutes but I got some other scents in the sale and they aren't as strong.

Voluspa, they’re gorgeous.

Another vote for St Eval
Tranquility is gorgeous.

Yankees smell really cheap and synthetic to me. I love Jo Malone and Diptyque - luckily I get a couple a year as gifts!

Miller Harris candles are also lovely

I prefer wax melts. I use candlewick green

DW Home. Can get them dirt cheap in Homesense.

For a spendy treat I love Mrs Todd. Amazing customer service too.

Jo Malone for a treat. I had the sweet almond and macaroon one and used it every Friday night as a treat.

I also had a small Diptyque one and a Orla Kiely one which were lovely strong smells.

Current favourite is Blush by Lily Flame.

always Neom for me. Once I had one I have never gone back to any other brand. Not cheap but butm totally evenly so you really get your moneys worth. far superior quality to jo Malone in my opinion

Lily Flame and Linea (HoF). Love Dyptique but after OH burnt an entire travel candle in one day I'm not spending that kind of money any more!

evil do you have cats? Recent news article said some essential oils are toxic to cats. Just a heads up

TK Maxx have had some excellent candles recently - I have really enjoyed a particular brand called Sand & Fog, pretty jars while burning and smell lovely and strong!

My own, made in the slow cooker.

White Company.

None. They give me terrible asthma - even when unlit...
I've become more and more reactive to them (& pollen, & air fresheners & many perfumes & all aerosols) over the last ten years - and now I can't be in a room with one for 10 minutes without starting to wheeze...
It's SUCH a pain..!

Neom are great, used to buy them on special offers but they do them in TK Maxx now as well.

I'm fond of Lily Flame. Such a great range of scents and some of them are quite unusual (Mellow Fig and Garden Mint is lovely).

Plus the tins are pretty.

I really like the Country Candle Company. The saffron sandlewood one is lovely.

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

Yankee are pretty crappy*

Exactly what I was thinking 😊

I forgot about wood wick. My sil bought me one a while ago that was nice, maybe I will try them again.

Diptyque, very good fragrance's, expensive but last a long time my all time favourite.

Bahoma, From TKMaxx very good value subtle fragrances, they sell the same ones that are still on the Bahoma website for ££££'s less

Pecksniffs, again you can get in TKMaxx good quality at the price.

Tried the Aldi ones and was very disappointing, poor fragrance and burnt out at one side.

Was bought a Yankee candle, Christmas something or other one this year, it was so sweet and cloying, very artificial, and really reminded me of toilet cleaner.

White Company Pomegranate. Yankee Candle:Baby Blanket which gives a fresh fabric softner smell if you like loitering in the laundry cleaning isle at the supermarket.

Im going off the sweet/sickly smells of yankee candles these days.

Yankee candles are disgusting.

Diptyque, True Grace, Kate Hoxton and Neom are my favourites with M&J Grapefruit and Ginger or Rhubarb Flower following.

Yankee make me recoil when I smell them and, due to their heavy paraffin content, give me a banging headache. Awful product (and I hate the twee names / image).
