Has Anyone Bought a Jo Malone Candle and Do You Think They Are worth the Money
Ask a Question
Hi I have been looking at jo malone candles for a long while ,has anyone bought one or received one as a gift ,£144 for a 600g one that burns for 90 hours
My p*ss is going to boil knowing that candles are selling for £144.
I can buy my cigarettes for a whole week for that.
If anyone is spreading £144 for a candle they have more money than sense even if I could afford that I still wouldn't pay it
I love scented candles and a Jo Malone candle is on my wish list, a small candle is about £28 at Lookfantastic, I think I would buy a small one first to see if they live up to the hype. But currently I have too many scented candles to justify it. My husband says I have a problem.

my partner says the exact same I have candles everywhere in the house ones for show and ones you use lol he cracks up every time I go shopping I come back with more 
kate1310 I'm glad I am not the only one, I bought a large Ritual candle which smelt divine, didn't tell my husband what it cost but consoled myself that I got a free gift with it
beccatavender your secret is safe with me 
lol how nice is ritual candles my partner got me a ritual advent calendar 2 years ago I got 4 small candles in it the calendar was gorgeous a wee village that lit up
£144 for a candle is obscene imo, I don’t know how good a candle can be but surely there isn’t one that’s actually worth that unless it last for years not 90 hours
I believe they’re gorgeous but I wouldn’t spend that much. However, Aldi do copies of them which I have.
I wouldn't buy a candle for that price even if I were rich. I went through a candle phase but now see them only as unnecessary expenditure and a fire risk.
No way am I paying that much for a candle.I could pay my travel and get food for a fortnight for that!
MelissaLee1 I know some people have to much money imagine what you could buy with all that money
I have a theory that they are only bought as gifts for other people. That's why they are pricy. When people receive them as a gift they know that they are expensive and probably for that reason never get lit!
Auntielettie yes I totally agree people must buy them as gifts as you would never spend all that for a candle for yourself I wouldn't want to light it just stare at it lol 
Whilst I wouldn't pay that much for a candle I have discovered the hard way that the cheaper candles do not smell as strong as the more expensive ones. Aldi's for example have hardly any smell when burning compared to a more expensive (£10-£15) one.
I love neom oils. Not sure what candles are like though. But definitely cheaper than jo malone.
Anybargains never smelt any neom items will need to look them up thanks for commenting
I genuinely have no idea who jo Malone is to want to buy candles. Would i spend £144 no way, I struggle to justify £5 on a candle, actually I struggle to buy a candle at any price but that £144 is ridiculous
Aldi do 'hotel collection' which are Jo Malone dupes. Candles are £3.50 & perfume £6.99. My friend wears the perfume & it smells identical.
Iv bought the candles a few times & they are great. B&M even do dupes. I got pomegranate wax melts for 99p, test smell almost identical.
Anyone who'd pay such an obscene amount on a candle really ought to give their head a wobble. I can't imagine ever paying more than £20 ish, even then it would be as a special gift.
Glitterandgold I buy the aldi ones I like them can never get the perfume everything goes so quick in my store its even hard to get a candle I will need to look out for the wax melts in b&m I love the pomegranate candles yes iam the same I hate paying a lot for something for myself but don't mind for a gift thanks for commenting 
Nope but a seller on ebay did as I got some bits in a Jo malone box. Box went to work for the kids to use
Jerseydrew aw did you were they nice did you get any candles of ebay thanks for your comment
I've never bought a jo malone candle myself. But the Chester shop seems to get plenty of business.
They’re nice but pricey. Fine as a gift, but feels like it’s just another way to burn your money
That’s really too expensive!! Think about what you can buy with £144!! Foods and toiletries are far more important than some scented candle!! Yo can even use that amount of money to pay bills!!
