    ikea have scented candles in glasses which smell really nice - they were £1 each last time i bought them. they have quite a few options - the vanilla ones smell pretty good though, can't vouch for all the others!

    I agree with Melancholly. The red one is cranberry, can't remember what fragrance the green one is right now The vanilla one is lovely, very homely and great value. Plus once its finished you can re-use the glass holder.

  • Thanks everyone I think I will give the Ikea ones another try - I have had one before and it didn't smell ........ maybe I have a problem with my senses!! I succumbed today and bought another Yankee candle - will not tell my hubby how much it cost! Also looking forward to receiving the info on Partylite from 1012Donna

    No, I also purchased one from Ikea that didn't smell. :confused:

    Are you talking about physical candles or do the ones in the drinks glasses count? :confused:

    I think that the cheapest I've seen is IKEA. They're not the strongest of fragrances, but they're nice and at a £1 per candle you can line them up and trust me, they will have enough smell! :D

    Prices look good - can you suggest a fresh smelling fragrance?
