Scented Candles

Lily-flame candles are supposed to be good too but havent tried these, you can get them in John Lewis as well.

I like Yankee candles as they seem to last a long time and so does the smell

I find M&S the best. I once bought a Christmas candle and the scent lasted all year. I *think* they're £5 a pop but not sure.

Inspired by this thread I bought three different Yankee sample candles today I have the Mackintosh burning now and I love the smell. Before I invest further ( and I will be investing further - who says this is a moneysaving site;) ! ), could anyone who has tried both methods tell me which is better for a strong long lasting fragrance - my rooms have high ceilings and it seems to take a lot to scent the place - should I buy the oil burner and the wax tarts or the candles in the jars? Thanks.

partylite are no good, yes,they smell as the box is opened but then when you light them where has the smell gone?! I bought a box of mix 16 in a box and not a single one could be smelt when lit-partylite rubbish!! xx

yankee candles are my favorites and I serached the net and managed to find a 3 for 2 offer so I`m well stocked up for this winter. You can also find them from time to time in tk

There is a bit of a good buy on here

I use this lid with the jars

I have one called sugar and spice in a big jar and the scent is so strong that I can only keep it on for so long but the scent hangs around the house for days if the glass lid is kept off the candle. It`s a lovely smell and everyone who comes here thinks that I have been baking nice things

I have high ceilings too, both work just as well but you get 160 hours burning time out of a large jar candle whereas only 8 hours from a candle tart. I do think the tarts are stronger smelling maybe. I would get some tarts to find out which fragrances you like then get the jars, they also do car air fresheners.

I saw these in tk one day and came out with loads. They were a really good price

I know, I know: I`m getting to be a secret candle collector

we`ve got very high ceilings by the way. My dh couldn`t tolerate the strong smell from the yankee tarts

You can also get them at garden centres with gift shops and Wyevale garden centres sell them. T K Maxx have lots of them, £10 for the large jar, but only certain fragrances.

I think Yankee candles are the best.They might seem more expensive,but the smell lasts all through the candle and they also last a long time if you get one of the larger ones.I buy mine from
