There are few better ways to spend an evening than hunkering down with loved ones amid a cosy, candlelit ambience.It’s fair to say we love a good candle, but luxury options often come with a hefty price tag attached and are not always quite within reach.
Take, for example, Jo Malone’s deluxe four-wick candles (Jomalone.co.uk) that cost £350 and offer a burn time of approximately 220 hours. Of course, the brand is synonymous with gorgeous home scents that throw well, but what if we told you there’s a number of affordable dupes that could save you a whopping £325?
Thanks to budget-friendly supermarket Aldi, you can get your hands on similar scents for just £24.99 – we’re talkinglime and basil; pomegranate, and the latest in the line-up: poeny blush.Much like the luxury brand’s design, the supermarket’s versions come with four wicks and weigh 2.4kg. Even the packaging is similar – consisting of a glass holder and a cream label with black writing.
With the latest luxury candle dupe landing just in time for Mother’s Day gifting, we’re here to share all of the details, including how to get your hands on the affordable candle range.
