    I've been Money Tipped!
    Mine arrived today. Smell gorgeous - very pleased!

    I have creme brulee on now. It's a large-ish open plan area so I thought the fragrance might get "lost" but it's filled the downstairs and is wafting up the stairs too! Lovely smell, strong enough but not too overpowering, and this first melt is lasting aaaaages - the tealight ran out but the melt still has much longer to go.

    Only negative is that they were packed in a normal paper envelope, without padding, so some of them arrived broken. It's obviously no problem, as all the bits melt together anyway, but if you're thinking of getting some for little stocking fillers, just be aware that they might look a bit bashed! Not sure if the non-sample items would be packed better?

    As someone else said, Aromatic Wood does smell similar to Jean-Paul Gaultier aftershave (thanks for the tip!)

    Overall very impressed and already thinking of what to buy next! :)

    came in the post today - arrived really quickly!

    I burnt butter shortbread (i think that's what it was) first and it was a bit sickly and made my eyes sting!

    The others smell amazing though, I'm delighted with 'sun dried linen' because I usually always buy yankee candles clean cotton and this one is quite similar but with a slight twist!

    Have fresh cut grass, orange and freshly baked bread to try too. Definitely worth 75p and they look gorgeous as they're shaped like roses!

    I have ordered from the main site. The scented wax - (think they are called Flex 4s) come in boxes. My samples came in an envelope, but they were fine. Perhaps yours were dropped?

    My favourite smells are the cinammon ones and vanilla. These these are as good as Yankees, but so much cheaper.:j
  • Got mine a little while back, the smells are amazing! Good work OP, thanks!

    i got mine and they are so good thanks op
  • Not being an expert on candles, I don't know the types that are best quality. this offer looks amazing. I got very little to work with right now..obviously the more expensive candles will be best and last longer..any ideas on a brand that has good ooffers and are of good value, with a range of scents. I am looking as a way to promote aromatherapy massage, as it adds to the atmosphere- and obviously a financial gain i hope, once i have them.
  • creme brulee is the bomb.
