I Love Expensive Candles, But These Under-£20 Ones Are Just as Good

I blame my job for my obsession with expensive candles. Before I worked in the beauty industry, candles were something that I bought as a gift for birthdays or Christmas, not something that I’d purchase for myself. However, one of the perks of my job is that I’m sent luxury products to try that I would never usually dream of buying—and candles are one such product. Over the last few years, I’ve had the chance to try the fanciest candles from brands such as Cire Trudon, Bella Freud and Tom Dixon, and I now have a taste (or should that be nose?) for the good stuff.

However, I am more than aware that dropping £80 on one candle is, quite frankly, ludicrous. My dad would tell me that it’s literally like burning money away, and, to be totally honest, he’d be right. Lucky then that I’ve been doing my research, and there are tons of candles out there that are just as good as my favourite expensive ones.
