Lynsey Hope has reviewed the luxury candles and their dupesReporter Lynsey Hope has picked her favourites. Here's what she thought, as well as how much you could save...The scent definitely isn't as strong as the Baobab candle, it's very light, but it did get stronger the more times I lit it. If you buying a candle for aesthetic reasons however, this is an absolute bargain.I won £7.
It's bigger too, so will last longer. I loved the smell and imagine these will sell out very quickly, so bag one if you spot one in a store.Housed in a simple white container with a glossy silver lid, this candle definitely looks more upmarket than its price would indicate. Both candles have a rich, citrus scent which makes your home smell lovely - but not only is Aldi's cheaper, it's bigger too, weighing 335g compared to 200g, and so will last longer.I absolutely loved the black design of this, as it definitely looked more expensive than it was. I still can’t quite believe it cost less than £4.
