Since I'm not really into candles I haven't bought any of them myself - they're waaaay out of my budget even if I were interested. But I've heard good things, though I've also heard good things about Diptyque. My ex had one of the bigger ones and she really liked it, but otherwise all I've heard about JM candles is from the super reliable source of rich YouTubers.Clementine / mydarlingclementine.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09867565608525797712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-76719406281959716102016-11-01T22:09:59.967-05:002016-11-01T22:09:59.967-05:00Right!

I've tried Pomander, Gardenia, Roses, and the LE Roses & Violet that came out (last year?) and while they're attractively packaged, I just haven't found the fragrances remarkable enough. I think the Roses smells amazingly like a fresh rose, but the effect dissipates when I burn it. Maybe I'm not enough of a candle person? Maybe I should buy some Yankee Candles or B&BW candles and compare? I don't know.

I'd always assumed they were sort of the Jo Malone of the candle world: very pricey but unique enough to justify shelling out. Now I see that you're right, the scents are by and large pretty standard. I guess Jo Malone candles can remain the Jo Malone of the candle world, haha.<br /><br />I remember one of my favourite YouTubers (who comes from a very rich family but is nonetheless totally lovely and down to earth normally) did a Christmas haul and had a section for "small things that are barely worth mentioning". She had a 5-piece Diptyque candle set worth something like £200 in it!

It's a little much. I have come to really enjoy these, though I also burn Mrs Meyers soy ones, various whatever GWP, etc. I've not experienced any wick issues. I have have crazy strong throws from my candles that it scents almost my whole house. Sometimes the room the candle is burning has been too strongly scented to my taste!Bellyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148333609186105052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1836843585087892027.post-64799296444442248872016-10-31T09:06:10.834-05:002016-10-31T09:06:10.834-05:00I've had exactly the same experience with Dipt...I've had exactly the same experience with Diptyque wicks! I thought it was my own ineptitude, but I'm relieved to see that it's not just me. I do love Feu de Bois (one of the only scented candles I can tolerate), but the wick is always gone before I get to the bottom of the candle. auxiliary beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704228759091361669noreply@blogger.com
