Relaxing candles that smell fabulous and last, where can I find them?

[MissMiss1]

I've tried many different candles and have found that most have a synthetic smell that doesn't last for long. I want a lovely relaxing scent, that burns bright and lasts.

What ones do you use?

I have a few wax burners from pound shop, get a bag of 8 hour tealights when I pass, and have loads of the small yankee candle wax bars from last year. They weren't too expensive, and last ages. I have different smells in different areas. Living room and hallway the same, different stronger one in kitchen and bathroom. Got a big christmas cookie yankee candle and in bed with it burning on bedside table now. You stop smelling it after a while, but when you leave room and come back in it's lovely. Also have the plug in wax burner which is nice, and equally lovely smell, but I like a flame.

I like Neom. They're £££ though. Sadly.

Candlewick greens wax is amazing, so many different scents to choose from. I can't link as I'm on iPhone, but it will come up if you search for candlewick greens candles.

Parkes candles are lovely smelling. They have a tasteful smelling scent and last.

These ones smel really nice and seem to last well.

Yep, Neom are fabulous. The best I've tried apart from Diptyque.

They are v expensive but you can sometimes find them in TK Maxx for half price. Just got a triple-wicked one for £18 which I was very happy about.

wax lyrical are my new favourite candles. £6 for a small tin. i have the orange-y ones. great smell when burnt as perfume seems to be well distributed around the wax. im also going to try the northumbrian candleworks candles soon too. they are soy so thats a bonus as less sooty.

I like Paddywax - soy based candles - mid price, gorgeous scents - their basil and cucumber is really cleansing for new year. Best ever is Diptyche's Verveine but it is £££. I'm not keen on Neom. They are very expensive but smell synthetic to me.

I was given a Rick Stein scented candle for Christmas and it actually smells. So many scented candles I've had before smell of nothing when lit. I think they are quite reasonably priced too.

Molton Brown are my favourite, although Sainsbury's own are probably a close 2nd.

Isle of Skye candles.

Another Neom fan but they are expensive. You don't get that synthetic smell though and when I've got them on people often comment it smells like a lovely spa.

That is amazing - Rick Stein selling scented candles!

I have been sticking to Heyland & Whittle, but fancy a change.

I got given some Oliver Bonas candles as a gift. I was very surprised. Good scents. Otherwise I am a Neom or Diptyque fan. Tried Jo Malone once. Very disappointed.

I like Miller Harris ones - currently got feuille de tabac burning. Also like the tuberose one too.

I was given some Oak Hills for Christmas. They scented the house out even before they were lit. About £25 each with quite powerful but not synthetic smells. The fig and walnut is lovely.

I have two Sainsburys ones currently and am so impressed with how good the scent is. One is the Christmas pudding bowl one and the other is a big round flattish one. Much better than Yankee imo.

Another vote for Neom from me. The 'real luxury' candle is my favourite, and smells absolutely gorgeous. Neom are having a sale at the moment, and I snapped up a few different scents at good prices. I like getting the small travel sized, so you can try them without spending mega bucks on the larger candles. They make nice gifts too!

Miller Harris are very good.

Parks Original
It is a beautiful scent.
Sometimes available with huge discount on Secret Sales.
Their Hyacinth is lovely too if you love the scent of hyacinths as I do.
Max Benjamin Mimosa is lovely too.
Neeom Moroccan Rose is also lovely.
I think all the above are organic and better for the environment.
Cheaper are Yankee Vanilla Lime and Egyptian Musk. They too are nice.
I loved Yankee Vanilla Lavender but it has been discontinued so I mix my own using Yankee pop tarts.
I like my candles

Maybe Rick Stein started selling candles to get rid of the smell of fish?

Candlewick greens wax tarts. I won't use any other

I like Neom, Parks, This Works and Paddywax - all from TK Maxx.

I have a body shop lemon and lime one in the bathroom at the moment that smells lovely and has lasted ages. Think it's a soy one
I really wanted a cowshed candle for Christmas, can't remember which scent it was but they're all pretty yummy. Hoping they still have them in my local tk maxx so I can treat myself.
