Ooh, that's cheap! Do they have a good fragrance throw?

I much prefer Prices' to Yankee Candles. They have a subtler, less 'shouty' smell than YK - they still scent a room adequately, but not to the slightly overpowering effect that YK do. They also don't smell as synthetic as the YK ones do - there's a YK 'pine' one that really does smell of bog cleaner. In fact there's a few that smell like that...

Lol at that price you will be lucky to get easy pays unless Q is feeling guilty for the extortionate £5.95 P&P and give us 2 easy pays.

Just wondering what does 'warm cashmere' smell like?! Hot goats perhaps - or heated jumpers!
I've had the Cashmire in Woodwick Candles, lovely girly warm creamy scent. It's had to describe with it being a so called fantasy fragrance.
Where are you Jude? There is a B&M on the road that leads from Titchfield (ish) to Lee On Solent. And a Home Bargains has opened in Eastleigh (closest to me in Southampton) so they are creeping towards us in the South!!
i love my woodwick candles. the throw and quality of fragance is far superior to yankees and they burn down evenly. if you want some great candle home bargains and tk max sell some designer essential oil based candles for a few pounds each.
After a suggestion on one of these threads I have ordered some woodwick candles direct, I was confused when I looked at my credit card statement by a payment to yankee direct, it's the woodwick candles

Thanks for the tip Sally, I'm in Worthing but we're well overdue a trip to Gunwharf Quays so I can see a small detour to B&M might be possible. Ofcourse my memories of B&M go back to the 80s and 90s so I hope it's as good or better. Back then the weirdest thing I saw in B&M was tinned cheese, not sure what the country of origin was.
Thinking about it while we're up visiting the outlaws I could nip out to the B&M at Wythenshawe, would 6 or 7 hours arouse suspicion? :mysmilie_13:
We were at Gunwharf today Jude.......in fact I think everyone in the universe was in Pompey today!! lol
That B&M is a large one.....so worth a good browse.

I hope you like them Sharon.
Personally, I hated them. Don't get me wrong, they looked lovely and the fragrance I tried (Linen IIRC) was fantastic, but the crackling noise from the wood drove me absolutely insane.
I don't know why, because I love a house with a real fire, but I just couldn't get along with the candles.
If I was arrested for murder, all the police would have to do it light a Woodwick Candle. I'd confess to anything if they promised to blow the ****** thing out!

Just received my order of the Price's candles.. very quick delivery! I was a bit surprised! I have not tried Price's before.. was not sure what to expect as another set on the website had bad reviews. I am giving away most as part of gift sets I am putting together so it is ok. Price was really good. I like sets I can split up!
The warm Cashmere is my least favourite, and I knew it would be from the presentation. It smells just like soap to me.. they described it on air as "freshly cleaned laundry" and i don't like fresh scents so that one is not for me. I am keeping the orange citrus spice one and giving away the rest anyway. I am going to get some organza bags cheap on ebay and put 6 or so of the tea lights in them and give with the candle as well as the other things that I have got as well (not from qvc).
I haven't lit any yet as literally just got them but from first impressions the red berry sorbet smells one of the best to me, I am also surprised by the honey vanilla, it does smell like more honey than vanilla but maybe not when lit? I normally hate vanilla scents but it smells ok. Quite pleased overall - first impressions are good
