Scented candles

Aibu to ask for your favourite scented candle recommendation?

@Luckingfovely Beeswax Flowers is my favourite. It has the most staying power.

Another Yankee Candles ex fan here.Last year they were good but this year they don't seem to smell of much at all.

I bought a St Eval after seeing them recommended lots of times but it’s not a patch on my Diptyque. As well and Diptyque I rate Voluspa and also Matalan own brand (particularly any with pineapple in).

Molton brown 3 wick or bath and body works. Yankee us now my 3rd choice

I used to be a Yankee fan until I discovered Bath & Bodyworks candles from the USA.

They are amazing! I always have to pay for extra luggage allowance on the flight home so I can fill my case bring a couple back

Neom

Voluspa are good and also Root candles. Tangerine & lemongrass is nice.
I was really disappointed with Jo Malone. £42 and it didn't last very long. It burned really fast.

Spiezia Organics... have a ylang ylang, lavender and geranium burning now and If I close my eyes I’m transported to the spa. If I open my eyes however I’m surrounded by toys, biscuit crumbs and discarded toddler clothes. Candles are enabling my fantasy.

Neon also amazing

Unicorn I get my best friend MB candles every Christmas. Gorgeous smell

Jo Malone, the white company and Owen Drew are my current favourites

Black Plum and Rhubarb by Can To Candle

I like white company . I reallly want Dyptique but they are a good second and not bad pricing .

No one has mentioned Cire Trvdon yet . The creme de la creme!

They had some Miller Harris in TK for £20 but I was Post xmas skint . Wish I had now

Dypthique Baie

I'm a candle addict as we have 4 big dogs so I go through a LOT of candles. I find Yankee candles terrible. Love the Ikea ones but my absolute favourites are by Arran Aromatics. Their Wild Gorse is to die for

harrogate candle company - divine.
They use essential oils, unlike the many of their competitors.

My absolute favourite is St Eval bay and rosemary. I also like the Country Candle company, especially bitter vanilla, though is not been as easy to track that one down lately. I found an online stockist and bought 3, all hidden from eldest daughter!

Could I ask a silly question about rosemary scented candles.... doesn’t it smell like you are cooking lamb

Just tried the Lenor Unstoppables candles and they are good. i can only imagine they were inspired by the numpties using the Unstoppable wash beads as wax melts.

Thanks to whoever posted the link to St Eval candles! Have discovered they have a three wick lavender so have just ordered that and hope it's better than Diptyques lavender!

Generally though, massive diptyque fan here a s always have an ambre, Santa's or, in summer, baies candles in my house.

Woodwick and Maple X Whisky are my favourites.

Diptyque if you have the budget - you can really tell the difference, the scent is very natural and lasts ages.

A cheaper option is This Works aromatherapy candles. TK Maxx often has them.

Could anyone recommend one that does a fresh, ozone-y seaside smell please?

I was given a Cire Trvdon candle for Christmas but the giver left the price tag on by mistake and it was £78 so I am unable to light it as I have not yet had a £78 candle moment.

Can't imagine what sort of moment will deserve the candle but I am ready!

@MulberryPeony no! It just smells all fresh and herbal. Like radox. Ish. I'm not fond of sweet scents, so this suits me perfectly.

Woodwick Island Coconut, only bought it a couple of weeks ago and love it SO much!
