Default Favourite candles.

I'm obsessed at the minute with candles.

My summer house smells like a brothel.

Do you have any recommendations?

I love a Yankee candle. I have also tried some from tkmaxx, DW range but they're hit and miss.

I love xmassy smelling ones over the winter.
The rest of the year we tend to have large pillar candles in hurricane lamps...all battery and on timed.

Yes, I agree. I have an M&S big pillar I haven't yet burnt, it even has berries and pinecones in. God knows how the pines will burn

They are not at all if you apply common sense.

Ie, not leaving unattended and securing them. I have a candle plate so even if one was to smash nothing would happen. I also have glass lanterns which protects
