Designer Scented Candles
Designer perfumes have been so popular for many years that we now have designer-scented candles as an extension of our luxury scents. Many of us already reach for our favourite perfume scent every morning. It’s part of our wardrobe and routine around getting dressed.
Whether you work in an office, restaurant or beauty salon, there is always a place to wear a scent. Some like their favourite fragrance so much that they extend it into their homes by buying a candle with the same notes.
With so many great candles on the market and online today, we have a variety to choose from. They also make great gifts for any occasion.
Tea lights
Unscented Tea lights make the home feel cosy during the winter months. There are also scented candles that smell of lemongrass, apples, and vanilla, adding that touch of fruit and sweetness to the home.
Celebrity influenced
We know celebrities have branched out in many directions regarding the beauty world. Anything from skincare, makeup and perfumes and now we have designer scented candles.
As previously discussed in my articles, celebrity-endorsed perfumes and celebrity skincare, the fragrance industry skyrocketed and continues to be just as popular today.
Cheaper alternatives
Many shops are eager to sell top designer candles like Jo Malone at cheaper prices. Candles that smell identical to the designer perfumes.
Aldi has seen shoppers hustling in on their Jo Malone range for just £9.99. A 200g candle from their home collection, Oud & Bergamot.
This would set you back £62 if bought from the Jo Malone website. One may question why you would buy a £62 candle when you can purchase the same scent for £9.99.
With a burn time of 45 hours compared to 60 hours for the Aldi brand, another difference is the size of the candle. Compare Jo Malone’s 200g candle with Aldi’s 700g, 3-wick version so it’s not just the price that catches the eye.
Image: Aldi We all know that if we purchase any product from a designer’s website, we will pay a higher price. This leaves us looking at more affordable options, so let’s see where we can shop for some of the best designer-scented candles.

Yankee Scented Candles Review
Not many of us don’t like candles, especially Yankee-scented candles. I first noticed these wonderful creations several years ago at my local garden centre at Christmas. Visiting a garden centre is always a delightful place to visit during the festive season, with its tree ornaments, garlands and unique gifts.
Head over to the candle section, and you’ll find shelves full from floor to ceiling with various colours, styles, and gorgeous-smelling scents. You can smell the fragrances as soon as you walk through the door. With so many to choose from, the decision often becomes difficult.
Which candle to choose
When it comes to candles, a classy design is just as crucial as a gorgeous fragrance. After all, candles are on show in our homes, so it’s good to go for one that looks elegant and homely. The Yankee will overstretch the budget if you’re looking for cheap candles.
We get what we pay for, so I believe in spending a little more to have a better quality product that will last. Tea light candles are often cheap to purchase whenever they are on sale, which is pretty much all year round.
Some will last reasonably well and have excellent burning time, but some may not last as long or burn correctly. The Yankee candle comes in three different sizes, so if the price of a large one is more than you’re prepared to pay, the smaller options are great, too. Having a good burn time for all three-size jars makes the home smell gorgeous, regardless of the season or reason for purchasing them.
Why are Yankee candles so expensive?
From experience, Yankee candles are more expensive when purchased from small businesses or gift shops. The smaller companies will often have a higher price tag, so it pays to shop around before you buy. Yankee candles burn more evenly than some on the market; therefore, the price reflects this quality.
As it’s often said, we get what we pay for, and I feel that spending a little more for a candle that will last a long time and burn evenly is something that every home needs. It also needs to burn safely. Always pay special attention to candles when lit.
Although Yankee candles burn safely inside their jars, please don’t leave them unattended or around small children who could knock them over or scald themselves. There’s something about burning candles at home that gives a sense of warmth, calmness, and a wintry feel once the curtains are closed for the evening. They can also be used all year round, not just for cosy nights. Remember to prep your candle before it’s first lit.
- History: Yankee Candle was founded in 1969 by Mike Kittredge in South Hadley, Massachusetts. The company started as a small operation, with Kittredge initially making candles as a gift for his mother.
- Product Range: Yankee Candle offers various scented candles in different sizes and styles. Their product line includes jar candles, pillar candles, tea lights, wax melts, and more.

- Seasonal Collections: Yankee Candle regularly introduces seasonal collections, aligning with holidays and changing seasons, including special editions for Christmas, Halloween, and other festive occasions. Many homes will have a Yankee Candle burning at Christmas.
- Jar Candles: The Yankee Candle jar candles are particularly iconic. They come in various sizes, with the large jars being trendy. The jars often feature distinctive labels and lids.
- Accessories: Yankee Candle offers a range of accessories, such as candle holders, wax warmers, and various decorative items, to complement its products.
- International Presence: Yankee Candle has expanded its presence globally over the years. Its products are available in many countries, making it a widely recognized brand in the home fragrance industry.
- Personalization: Some Yankee Candle stores offer personalized candle labels, allowing customers to create custom candles for special occasions or as gifts.
- Community Engagement: Yankee Candle has been involved in various community and charitable initiatives. They have also collaborated with charities to create unique edition candles to support causes.

Yankee candles are available on eBay.
Sizes range from small, medium and large
The large jar has a burn time of up to 150 hours
Medium jar- up to 75 hours
Small jar- up to 30 hours
My rating: 9 out of 10
Once you’ve used your candle and it’s burned away, it’s a great idea to reuse the jar. Dress it up or pop a tea light at the bottom. The jars are very sturdy, and they come in several fragrances. The jars also come with a lid, an excellent way of holding onto the scent when the candle is not lit. If you’re prone to headaches around strong fragrances, try to choose the more delicate scents. Some winter scents can be a little overpowering if they’re sat in a small room in the home.
