Ruth Mastenbroek, qualified Master Perfumer warns against buying a cheap candle. She says 'in fragrance you often get what you pay for, and while it can be tempting to purchase very cheap home fragrances from large retailers or stores, these often don’t include much fragrance and don’t perform so well. We would suggest spending a little more, if you can, to ensure a better quality product that works. Look out for discounts from established and niche brands, where you may be able to pick up a bargain of a fragrance that would usually cost much more.'
