Anyone got any suggestions. I'm looking at a refill for the Basil and Lime that was a gift and I'm not spending £60. Any recommendations?

Aldi do dupes of most Jo Malone scents in candles and reed diffusers.

Oh god it wasn't you that had that candle stolen was it? ! I did look at those too and I just feel a bit stingy, but I bet the range is amazing.

We loved our black label Jo Malone but couldn't justify the price either. We found a website called Cosy Owl. You basically buy the oil, scent, bottles and reeds to make your own diffusers including scents that are Jo Malone dupes. We now have "Jo Malone" lime basil and mandarin in every room in the house and it cost £50. Would highly recommend it.

Do you mix the fragrance oil with a base oil like almond, or use on it's own?

Thank you!

Jo Malone is owned by Estée Lauder… Havnt they just made some sort of statement supporting Trumps view on owning Greenland? I’d buy Aldi!

@Blisteringlycold you mix fragrance with a base oil (although couldn't tell you what kind as it was my husband that did it) rather than scent on its own. We liked that idea so we could adjust the ratio to make it a bit stronger.

Geodesis are superb. Diptique quality without the price. Don’t think there is a Lime one though

I really like the Skandanvisk range, available from John Lewis, refills are about £30
