Candles

[Perfumista]

Evening! I want to treat myself to a new candle for winter. I have shortlisted 5:- Diptyque Ambre; Maison Margeila By the Fireside; The White Company Winter; Byredo Bibliotheque and Jo Loves A Log Fire. I cannot get to Manchester to sniff any of these. Any thoughts on which throws out the fragrance the best? I have a large lounge to fill! Thank you in advancd

Not helpful BUT I have the small version of this and it's beautiful so might be a cheap one to also get

I lit it the other day and forgot how lovely it is
I've heard good things about the by the fireside candle

Ooooh now this sounds just up my street. They have a 500g one as well

I love jo loves fig trees, it reminds me of walking round Abercrombie and Fitch for some reason.

Not sponsored proof it's my fave out of the sort of wood/smoke ones i have tried

Jo malone pomegranate noir is amazing my brother and his wife bought me a set for my birthday 🥳 with a candle and diffuser, and roomspray it's really nice

Mmm by the fireplace
It's beautiful

This sounds amazing. I might get this and By The Fireplace as they would both total the price of the Diptyque

@Perfumista that's a good idea! I'm wearing by the fireplace perfume today and it's lovely

@NotMyCat oooof that sounds perfect for a cool Autumn's afternoon. I bet the smell lingers on your clothing, too?

White company Winter throws scent and is quite cheap. Is more a Christmas smell though.

It does, it goes from smoky to a softer vanilla which I really like

The White Company Winter is nice but I agree, Christmassy.

I am going to have to buy a few now. The White Company Winter one can be for the Christmas period. Should be sourcing new winter boots but much prefer shopping for smelly things

I spent an hour sniffing candles in TXmaxx this afternoon and bought a few they have their winter ones in stock.

I've just done a big shop/order

Don't judge me
I also have bath and body works teakwood intense and laundry day on the way

I’ve sniffed a few DW mystic and lucky ones today, they were lovely as well! @NotMyCat

Anyone smelt the diptyque Christmas ones this year?

If anyone wants to support independent brands these are my favourite from Iggy Box (candle subscription)

Lumos Apothecary
Feathers and Fellows
Nickola Candela

All gorgeous!

Get the fragrance oil from the white
Company & use on pot pourri/pine cones or a diffuser. Cheaper than a candle & great scent throw

I also love true Grace stuff-always have special offers-eg spend £60 and they send you a free (full size) candle!

Ones I like are English garden, portobello oud, blackcurrant leaves and Moroccan rose.

Diptyque Ambre is gorgeous and does throw really well. It's my favourite candle EVER. I can only compare it to the Jo Malone ones that are a lot more subtle.

Currently they are doing 6x 20cl candles for £100! Bargainous!

A log fire is not good, smells very nice as a candle, but you have to put your nose it it to smell anything.

'Snug' from the Liverpool Candle Company is comforting autumn in a candle. And only £13!! I've stocked up because I cannot get enough
