I am a big fan of the Cinnamon Sticks candle by Yankee. Super Christmassy!

Body shop did a spiced apple range that was rather nice including room spray and fragrance oil for a burner.

I got a white company fragrance diffuser this weekend - the winter one. its wonderful. they do candles etc too.

I've just bought M&S's Patchouli and Clove candle and room spray. Really lovely. Am spraying liberally around the place!

Crabtree and Evelyn Noel. There is no contest, it is THE BEST.

It is only candles, room fragrance etc though. I so wish I could bathe in it!

I would second the White Company Winter candles & L'Occitane also do fab winter scents.

Definitely another vote for White Company Winter. Or Costco do a set of 4 Xmas candles which I always buy. Different winter scents.

For bathing/washing L'Occitane Cinnamon and Orange (soap but they had a candle years ago)

Costco do large candles (about £14ish) that I'm seriously coveting.

Yankee Sparkling Cinnamon is my favourite Christmas scent but there will be new ones this year

CalonDu · 14/09/2015 18:48

Agree that Crabtree & Evelyn is THE BEST. But M&S Frankincense and Myrhh runs it a close second even though M&S has hoiked the price up year on year until the candles are now 50% more than in 2013

Clementine and ginger from Waitrose cheapy range . The best -smelling hand wash, that I use all year. Also comes in shower gel, bubble bath etc.

Pippin8 · 14/09/2015 19:38

Pintail candles in gingerbread & figgy pudding. Theyre only around £5 on eBay.

Oh, the White Company Winter for sure - the burner oil is fabulous. There are some of the True Grace candles which are really lovely for Christmas too.

LoadsaBlusher · 15/09/2015 11:38

Yankee Candles Sparkling Cinamon
and Christmas Eve Wax tarts
I have these burning in my burner pretty much for all of December.

Asimovbuff · 15/09/2015 11:41

I second crabtree and evelyn Noel.

Philosophy do some lovely Christmas flavours; also Molton Brown. And fir candles, nothing beats Diptyque!
