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.

Forgot about vanilla lime, love that one too.
Wild Fig as well

OP consider QVC you can pay in instalments which is great. I buy lots in random card shops like Clinton’s etc they usually have them cheaper

HildaZelda · 13/12/2018 22:25

Clean Cotton is my favourite. I like Black Cherry too.

Christmas Eve, margarita time, red apple wreath, vanilla lime, passion fruit martini, black cherry, cranberry pear. I mainly go for the fruit ones (apart from Christmas Eve as that just sums up Christmas), as the sweet ones smell to sickly for me.

lemongrass and ginger is smells sooooo nice !

TeaAndBisquits · 13/12/2018 22:30

Home sweet Home

My absolute favourite is Fresh Cut Roses. l also love Wild Pansies and Country Heather (both USA fragrances) and l've recently managed to get my hands on a Sun Drenched Apricot Rose which is as rare as hens teeth round here.
l've never given it much thought before but l must be a floral girl.

HankyPanky04 · 13/12/2018 22:35

Baby powder, chocolate layer cake, lemongrass and ginger, cranberry pear

Gekeos · 13/12/2018 22:35

Lemon lavender (pale purple) is my absolute favourite

TeeniefaeTroon · 13/12/2018 22:36

Rather than the candles I buy the tarts, I find I can smell them more than candles. I buy a selection from EBay, cheaper than buying them from my local shops.

canibehereifimnotamum · 13/12/2018 22:37

There's a mango/passion fruit one which is laverly

Rottie454 · 13/12/2018 22:38

Spiced orange by far. Also love baby powder, turquoise sky and pink sands

lecossaise · 13/12/2018 22:39

Tarte tatin smells like it sounds like it should, delicious.

MrsStrowman · 13/12/2018 22:41

Midsummer night is really nice and not too sweet or feminine, the sandalwood vanilla is good, as is amber moon. Florals I like lemon lavender and fresh cut roses. Baby powder, clean linen and cashmere blanket are softer and subtle, most of the fruity ones are nice for summer black cherry or dragon fruit are favourites of mine. DH bought me the advent calendar and that has a selection of tea lights in it, you might be able to get one for a bargain price by this point in December? I have a couple of the wax tart warmers and like being able to just buy a selection of fragrances to find my favourites.

Another vote for Christmas Eve, Red Apple Wreath and a new one this year, Glittering Star is knockout.

Mum loves lemon lavender.

Another vote for the wax melts over the candles, they are more reasonable to find your favourite and a stronger fragrance.

GlitterPixie · 13/12/2018 22:53

There’s never been one to beat Sparkling Lemon but they discontinued it. I like Lemon, Pink Grapefruit and Red Raspberry

Mummaloves · 13/12/2018 23:40

Pink sands and black cherry - but how is this AIBU ??

JollyGiraffe · 13/12/2018 23:42

Fluffy Towels

Red Apple Wreath at Christmas!

Spanglybangles · 13/12/2018 23:50

Snow in Love is my absolute favourite, followed by Lemon Lavender and Pink Petals.

Spanglybangles · 13/12/2018 23:51

Sorry that should read Sweet petals, not pink petals

Bettyjojojo · 13/12/2018 23:52

Red apple wreath is my favourite Christmas one, also love lavender and lemon, black coconut and clean cotton

LeilaDarling · 14/12/2018 08:27

Baby Powder, THE best!

chipsandpeas · 14/12/2018 08:28

Clean cotton and baby powder but like the black cherry as well

Worieddd · 14/12/2018 08:30

Lemon lavender is my all time fave.

Currently burning sparkling cinnamon and winter glow which are perfect for this time of year. There is a green piney winter one too that is lovely but I can’t remember the name

2018dramaqueen · 14/12/2018 08:32

You can buy a selection of different votives or melts on amazon, it’s a random selection but I’ve always got a good selection of scents.
