i wanna fragrant candle that actually smells

Are you like me and seem to have spent a fortune on candles which smell lovely ........ that is until you light them and then no fragrance!!

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap fragranced candle which does what it is supposed to!

The Yankee candles are lovely but at around £17 a pop I can't afford to be buying these all the time

Thanks!

    Me too, I buy them when I go to the States cheaper there. UK ones seem either to stink or dont smell at all.
    My Mind wanders, if found please return.

    I have the same problem! I know Wella Candles smell lovely and I purchased them from my local - ish Sally hair and beauty store.

    I did get some half price ones from Superdrug a few weeks ago 49p each and they actually smelled when burned, too!

    glade candles really smell but they are quite expensive not as expensive as yankee though i love those!!! i picked up a box of 8 minature (but still very good size) yankee candles for 50p at a car boot recently :D

    also ikea do some smelly ones for £1 each in vanilla, strawberry and some other flavours!!

    Q.D do a relativly big range of scented candles, i bought a "3 wick" one the other day (orange) and it did give off the fragrance when lit. And if you know qd you will know its the place to get a bargain.

    As I am a partylite consultant so obviously I will promote their candles but believe me (those of you who haven't been to a party) they smell gorgeous and last for ages if you look after them properly. This is the second time I've written in a thread about partylite today - people will be thinking I'm trying to sell the stuff on here. If anyone does want any info on partylite then please pm me.

    Hold a partylite party and get loads of freebies! My party made sales of over £650 and I got £160ish in free stuff! (I don't work for Partylites by the way!!!). Ebay have some Partylite bargains. x

    I bought a vanilla scented candle from Next, I've had it ages, and it still smells nice.
