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, at a restaurant or in a beauty salon, there is always a place for wearing 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 such a variety to choose from and they make great gifts too for any occasion.

 

T lights

Unscented T lights work well if you just want to make the home feel cosy during the winter months.

There are also scented candles that smell of lemongrass, apples and vanilla for that touch of fruit and sweetness in the home.

 

Celebrity influenced

 

We know that celebrities have branched out in many directions when it comes to the beauty world.

Anything from skin care, make up and perfumes and now we have designer scented candles.

As previously discussed in my articles celebrity endorsed perfumes and celebrity skincare, we see the fragrance industry sky rocket and continue to be just as popular today.

 

Cheaper alternatives

Many shops are jumping at the chance to sell top designer candles such as Jo Malone at cheaper prices. Candles that smell identical to the designer perfumes.

Aldi has already seen shoppers hustling in on their own range of Jo Malone for just £9.99.

A 200g candle from their home collection, Oud & Bergamot.

This would normally 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 200g candle Aldi’s 700g, 3-wick version and it’s not just the price that catches the eye.

We all know that if we purchase any product from a designer website, we will be paying the 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.

 

Fm world designer inspired candles

FM World have a small selection of 150g candles. Four scents for women and one for men.
