From Aldi to Argos and Dunelm to B&M, lots of stores are offering cheaper copies of fancy winter scents. Reporter Lynsey Hope has picked her favourites. Here's what she thought, as well as how much you could save... This luxury dupe, the Oud Memoire Scented Candle, retails at H&M for just £14.99.

The Kardashians are huge fans of the Baobab candles but we don't all have their budget. 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.

It looks quality and if I hadn't handed over the £14.99 myself I'd have thought it was worth far more than that. It's over £100 cheaper than the Baobab one. Love it and it now takes pride of place on my sideboard. RATING: 5/5. I loved the Neom inspired design of this John Lewis candle, which costs just £8.50.
![[Winter Indulgence 6 Wick Botanical Candle retails at the White Company Winter for £95]](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/A11994_XS24_1_Fjpeg-JS957202343-1.jpg?strip=all&w=702)
The jar is pretty and it has a pleasant but not overpowering scent. It's a shame this doesn't come in striped glass too, as this would improve the aesthetics. RATING: 3/5. This is a real statement piece and at a fraction of the price of some companies. Yes, we all love The White Company, but who wants to spend £95 on a candle?.
