Because it's Autumn and so close to Winter (Christmas yay!) I've been burning a lot of my candles recently. I wouldn't say that I have a huge candle collection but I think I have enough to show you which ones I have and what I like about them. Comment below what your favourite candle is and I will have a look at your suggestions. So, here is my current candle collection as of November 2015...
MUJI
I only have one candle from MUJI but is by far my favourite out of all the candles I own. It's in the scent 'spiced apple compote' which smells just like a warm apple dessert you would have around Christmas time. I also love the packaging on this candle because it is in a tin with a lid and it has a little illustration of some apples on it. The aroma off this candle is really strong so it makes your room or wherever you burn it smell really nice and festive. MUJI candles are only £2.50 which I think is a really good price considering the quality. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who likes warm but fruity scents. ~ http://www.muji.eu/
IKEA
In case you didn't know, IKEA has a large range of really good candles that aren't expensive at all. The one on the left is called 'Silky musk white' and it was only 50p including the jar it came in! I haven't tried this candle yet because it is a very fresh scent so I think it would be better to burn in Spring and Summer. The description IKEA gives says: 'The scent of musk with hints of roses and warm amber gives a fresh, soft feeling.' The candle on the right is called 'Calming spa' and it was only 95p. It really does smell like a spa so it is great to burn if you are having a bath or just want to relax. IKEA says the candle: 'Creates atmosphere with a pleasant scent of calming spa and warm candlelight.' IKEA also have loads of other candles so make sure to look out for them next time you are in there. ~ http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/
ROOT
I am pretty sure that Root candles are American but I got hold of them because they were selling them at The Ideal Home Show in London! It was buy one get one free on everything I think and one small candle was £2 so I got four for £4. The scents from left to right are: Blackberry Mango, Sampaquita, Japanese Cedarwood and French Vanilla. I think my favourite is probably Sampaquita because it has a very warm, cosy and spicy scent. The scents are really nice but I would maybe like them to smell a little bit stronger when I'm burning them. Other than that I really like them and recommend them if you can find them! ~ http://www.rootcandles.co.uk/
