I’m late to the party but really like a couple of these and dislike some others too. What’s your favourite? I don’t know whether to take a chance and buy a couple randomly because their names sound nice 😂. Vanilla cupcake was one. However they are a lot of moneybif they don’t smell good.

I love the Black Cherry one, and the Christmas Cookie one is lovely too.

Atetoomanymincepies · 13/12/2018 21:47

Pink sands or Christmas snowflake cookie for me

Sparking Cinnamon is great for this time of year!

They do sound nice. Think I need a sniff really. Wish they sold sample sniff testers. 😂

Pink sands for me too, but that's because I got one at the summer fayre at the Buddhist centre so it reminds me of staying there!

Pink sands is very popular. Sweet and calming.

Cashmere blanket is gorgeous as well.

Baby powder, refreshing watermelon, midnight jasmine and November rain but I think that’s been discontinued. I buy the tarts and if I like the scent buy a candle, I’m a bit obsessed with candles and Scentsy I’ve a wardrobe full Confused

I ordered a box of votive candles from Amazon. 10 candles for £12
I received 10 different scents, all lovely and nice to have some different ones to try.
Personally I like Black Cherry, True Rose, Sparkling Cinamon and Lemon.

Pink sands for spring/summer and Snow in Love for Autumn/winter.

HoomanMoomin · 13/12/2018 21:55

I think it’s called midsummer nights. It’s black. Love it. Although I use wax melts, not candles. They smell so much stronger.

I also have just discovered Tesco’s own wax melts and they’re gorgeous.

I’m now hoping Ikea will start making wax melts too. Their one candle smells so Christmassy. Xmas Smile

GreenandBlueButterfly · 13/12/2018 21:56

Vanilla smoke is my absolute favourite

OP, look how cheap the gift sets are Here

I bought loads of These as stocking fillers.

I know they're nearly all out of stock, but have a look after Christmas.

DollyRose · 13/12/2018 21:56

Baby Powder
Best smell ever!

BadgerWithSprouts · 13/12/2018 21:58

Kilimanjaro Stars is the best but hard to find in shops, although I have noticed in some newer yankee candles the strength of the fragrance is not as good as it used to be Sad

Christmas eve by a mile.

I recently got a random selection of tea lights from groupon. All lovely. Currently burning serenity.

Thanks worra. I will look after xmas again. I wish they did a pick and mix of the small candles / tea lights. That would be fab.

Vanilla Lime is lovely and definitely my favourite

eyesbiggerthanstomach · 13/12/2018 22:08

Clean cotton

Gilead · 13/12/2018 22:09

I had a red one, I loved it and don’t remember what it was called. It was neither fruity nor floral! Ex she liked midnight jasmine so unfortunately that makes me (literally) sick now!

Gilead · 13/12/2018 22:09

Ex dh!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 13/12/2018 22:10

Midsummer Night
Vanilla Lime
Any of the Lemon or Apple ones

I have Sparkling Cinnamon (my favourite Christmas scent ) but it smells of wax not fragrance Xmas Sad

MotherofKitties · 13/12/2018 22:14

Baby powder.
