Another vote here for Aldi Candles similar to Jo Malone!

Diptyque for me too. John Lewis do a good range, but they are expensive.

Sorry to have repeated what others have suggested!

grin I love candles too, Kitty, but some are, as you say, so very expensive. I have bought them from Aldi, which are similar to Jo Malone's candles, but a fraction of the price. Also, I would recommend Wilkinson's candles, which are very reasonable. If you have a TK Maxx near you, it's definitely worth a visit. They have a large stock of designer candles at discounted prices. Happy hunting!

Not UK one....JM (Jo Malone)

Oh kitty I love my candles! grin I burn an awful lot of money!
My boss bought me a Jo Malone candle, lime, basil and Mandarin and it was lovely at £49, it --should be too-. However, I read on Mumsnet that Aldi do smell-alike candles for £3.99 and so, being a skin flint, I tried one. And they were right! Aldi's own brand, multi wick candle No1 is beautiful and I, personally, couldn't tell the difference between that and the UK one.

I don't know about Molton Brown but my eldest daughter buys me Diptyque Tuberose which I simply love. I know its hugely expensive but it gives me such pleasure.

Try TKMaxx. They usually have loads of lovely candles.

For our wedding anniversary a friend face us a molton and brown candle. I have never used candles before but I love it.

However, I looked at the price and was shocked.

So, can anyone suggest some lovely candles or some where to get Mokton & Briwn candles at vastly reduced prices.

And, which 'flavours' do you like?
