Favourite scented candle?

**Mrs Flowers** · 25-04-2012, 08:02pm

Should this be in 'home'? I was given a small candle holder for my bday but I didn't like the smell of the tealight in it, so I bought a Yankee Candle sampler. But it's soooo strong I'm not sure I like that either!!

What brands/scents of candle do you like?

Perhaps I'm just not used to scents in my home as I've not been particularly into candles in the past (except a couple of nice L'Occitane ones in tins ages ago).

My bestest favourite is a Partylite scent, called Mulberry.

Thanks! I will look that up. Is partylite the brand?

You have to check out Yankee range, I like the pale blue one which I think is called cotton. Not quite so strong!

I like non-petrochemical ones. Made of soya, or beeswax. I'm not sure of brand names but I got a load of nice ones from TK Maxx.

I must be the only person on the planet who thinks the Yankee candles are hideous

Admittedly I haven't smelt every single last one of them but all of those I have tried (and smelt elsewhere) i've just found so sickly

I fully appreciate I am hugely in the minority here.

I am officially addicted though to Neom candles.

I love their Ylang Ylang one.

I don't mind Yankee Clean Cotton, but my favourite at the moment is Diptyque Cannelle.

I love the Yankee Candle 'baby powder' we burn loads of that at home and the Partylite 'raspberry and thyme'

I don't really like yankee candles either. I usually get smelly candles from Sainsburys, they have nice big ones in glasses (you can get little ones too), can't remember off the top of my head what scents but I avoid Vanilla like the plague, its soo sickly.
