I like the M+S ones here:

Similar to the Diptyque style and the scent lasts for ages. My favourite one is not shown here - I think it's lemongrass and ginger, or a similar citrus fragrance

Hi since i gave up been a party consultant for Partylite i have been buying my candles from https://www.wicknwax.co.uk. I can recommend everything from the tealights to the wax tarts.Each tealight burns and smells for approx 6 hours.Fresh Linen is one of my favourites but there are so many to choose from you will have a hard time choosing.

I decided I would look for some nice scented candles. I looked at the Jo Malone site, I've heard she does fab candles. The 200g candles in a glass are £38! HOW MUCH!

Most of the scented candles I come across are truly gross. I want something light and 'clean'.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi
I read a thread the other day about 'the good fairy' candle shop online - if you type candle into forum seach it comes up - sorry don't know how to add link to this yet as i am a newbie.
I haven't brought myself yet, but have added to my favourites ready for pressies later in the year.
Hope this helps

You could try using cheaper candles (I use the household ones - you know, the ones for power cuts!) and rubbing them with a few drops of essential oil. I usually use lavender, but I'm sure it would be lovely with lime or orange oils.

I know what you mean about some candles...they can have a very sickly artificial smell.

We use a little essential oil burner, the sort that has a tea-light underneath. just put a few drops of your favourite oil in a little water.

Thanks everyone - I'll let you know how I get on. :T

Yankee candles are the best I've found (I have a candle habit!) They're the only ones that give off a nice but strong smell IMO.

They're not *that* cheap, but if you become a member of the just-candles site (not sure if I'm allowed to post a link, sorry) you get 5% off all purchases. It costs around £6 to become a member, but you get a welcome pack with candles, air freshners etc in.

The wax tarts are the best buys at about 95p each. They smell stronger than the jars too! Not sure how that is possible, mind!
