Thank you

I’m obsessed with St Eval candles. They smell so realistic and not synthetic.

Inspiritus and Tranquility are lovely autum/winter scents. Lime and grapefruit is great too.

@FormerlySpeckledyHen am envious of that parcel - I hope you have Embers in there ! It’s my absolute favourite swiftly followed by Inspritius.
enjoy !

I always buy the M&S Mandarin, Clove and Cinnamon ones - to me they smell lovely and Christmassy. I’ve tried a few different ‘Fir tree’ scents, but they always smell a bit artificial. If I could find one that really smells like a fresh Christmas tree, I’d def buy it.

My boys buy me that candle for Christmas every year 😊

Just to flag, St. Eval candles are partially made with Paraffin wax which in large quantities can be toxic - both to humans and pets. Paraffin also contains derivatives from petroleum.

If you have breathing issues, you're better off buying soy wax 😊

Sorry, I don't like them They smell of chemicals to me and give me an itchy face and eyes. Something toxic in them!

For the price I don't think you can beat Geodesis. Equally as good as Diptique but £30.

That's the Paraffin wax - it smells like chemicals, because it is a chemical 😁

I love the M&S apothecary ones. A little on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion. Really strong scent, makes my whole living room smell gorgeous.

StokePotteries · 24/10/2025 11:59

Yes they are excellent. The best of the mid priced ones. Inspiritus is divine.

I find the White Company ones smell like real fir trees. Very pricey if you buy the big three wick candles, but you only need a couple of votives and they scent the whole house.

I picked up some orange and cinnamon ones in a nearby national trust gift shop - really nice (and reduced....)

My favourite candle. I always have some in the house.
