Yankee candle stony cove.

I have a Heyland and Whittle Earl Grey soy candle (from tkmaxx) that is the strongest yet not overpowering scent. Everyone comments on how lovely it is, and it lasts a really long time.

Jo Malone are strong!

DW home ones from homesense are the business .

Strangely enough, wickford and co ones from home bargains are just as strong.

I buy both as the home bargains ones are limited for scents.

I haven't used the heyland whittle one I'll have a look, love anything earl grey
Yes Jm smell strong too but the smell doesn't fill the house if you know what I mean?
I like Yankee candle some of them smell really nice the peony one is good I'll have a look for the stony one
Thank you

I've tried so many different types and the best I have found are partylite. I tend to order direct from the website. Their 3 wick candles smell amazing and last for ever.

@fogginghell the DWhome ones have been recalled due to excessive smoke. My local paper had an article about it a couple of days ago. Just check the serial number as its a few that are affected.

@Bubblysqueak I've never heard of them! Any smells in particular you recommend?

They do a marshmallow one which is nice and a fresh linen one which smells just like fresh laundry.
There is also one called tamboti wood which smells like men's aftershave. For the winter I like winter berries. They also do wax melts are also really good. I used to like their scent sticks, but they must have changed how they make them because they don't last half as long as they used to so I've stopped buying them.

Most people haven't heard of them as they are a kind of MLM, they do party's and things but they also have a website that you can order directly through so no annoying consultant pressuring you.

Neom are the best, very strong and beautiful scents. Not cheap though.

Ilovewillow · 12/01/2020 11:02

Second Neom they are lovely, expensive but they last well. St Eval are also lovely and the scents are beautiful!

Bath & Body Works 3 wick are really strong!

I buy them when in USA but you can pick them up on eBay.

fogginghell · 12/01/2020 22:20

@longtompot gosh really ! Shock

fogginghell · 12/01/2020 22:21

Ah just googled, it's the ones with a wooden wick! Thankfully not any I've bought .

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 12/01/2020 22:27

Aldi ones are so strong you can smell them even when they aren't lit.

longtompot · 13/01/2020 16:18

@fogginghell thats good, I just thought I’d mention it, just in case.

fishonabicycle · 13/01/2020 18:22

I stopped using them when I realised how dirty they made the walls! I had to flipping scrub them all.

myrtleWilson · 13/01/2020 20:32

Regretfully, I believe Gwyneth's special candle has sold out OP otherwise no doubt this would have the strongest lasting smell of all time

Apparently her vag smells of bergamot and a few other aromatics. Christ knows.what she puts up there to achieve that.
