Still on the hunt for a Christmas/Winter candle or wax melt

[escapeyou]

Spent a fortune on the White Company Winter candles and reed diffusers last year. I still feel cheated. They smelt of nothing.

Any suggestions on what to try next? Yankee Candles are the same as the White Company. I don’t want the house overly fragranced but the whiff of something Christmassy would be lovely!

I love the WC Fir Tree candles❤️

Totally agree about the White Company winter candle, totally shite!

I am afraid you are going to spunk the best part of 50 quid and go for Pomander (I think it's called) by Diptyque - its gorgeous, and very smelly!

I love the Woodwick fireside candle. In fact I've never been disappointed with any Woodwick candle and we've had quite a few over the years.

Neom Christmas Wish, I've also really enjoyed some smaller independent makers recently, Our Lovely Goods Winter spice is excellent, and I rate SevenSeventeen as a brand, their winter offering is called Sparkle Winter Spice. I can't comment on it myself but their other products are quality so it is probably worth trying.

I'm going to enjoy going through their website and order lots of Christmas scented goodies!

Yankee Candle Christmas Eve.

I have two large ones still left. It's beautiful.

Eek I just bought a Diptych candle, Feu de Bois. Only ever bought mini ones from eBay. Feels very extravagant and almost literally like burning money.

We have a lovely local candle/wax melt maker, I got Coco Cuddles this week and it came with a free sample of the Candy Cane. I didn't fancy the sound of Candy Cane but the sample was fabulous. Nutcracker is also beautiful.

Wax and Words

I always get mine from Misters Candles on Etsy. They last ages and smell great. I met the two men that make them at a craft fair years ago and have stuck with them ever since.

St Eval

• Inspiritus
• Orange & Cinnamon
• Embers

Yes st Evals Embers is beautiful, subtle but gorgeous. Wish they did it in a big candle.

The Gingerbread one is absolutely divine and makes the whole house smell festive

Try marks and Spencers. Absolutely lovely. Can't remember the name but their candles burn well.

M&S frankincense and myrrh is the one I usually get.

Wax melts for a good cause :) www.weirdwax.uk

I always buy their (IIRC) Mandarin, Clove and Cinnamon. Lovely Christmassy smell, without being overpowering or smelling at all fake and chemical-y.

There's a beautiful Christmas candle by In Bloom & Co. I follow her on Instagram since my friend bought me their bath oil & salts for my bday.
I recently bought the trio of candles from there as Xmas pressies, but I'm not sure I can part with them LOL. Smell soooooo good.
Always like helping a small business too

Bigger companies : I don't rate white company but do love neom.

Sassy wax melts are really lovely and last for ages

annalisecandles.com are amazing and they do an advent calendar that’s only £20. Highly recommend

I bought one in a tin from Waitrose, it's a John Lewis cinnamon spice on and it's quite powerful. I haven't even burnt it yet but the room smells of it

DH got me a fragrance lamp with some lush oils from here www.ashleigh-burwood.co.uk for Christmas one year. Fills the house and all the fragrances are gorgeous

This is my favourite Christmas candle - www.shearer-candles.com/en/frankincense-and-myrrh-tall-pillar-jar-candle
