Matalan's new £9 candle collection smells just like high-end favourites - without the luxury price tag (and they're set to fly off the shelves)
Matalan has launched a new range of candles and diffusers - and they look and smell like a £75 designer brand only for a fraction of the price.
Eagle-eyed shoppers are racing over to Matalan, where they can snap up the brand's new £9 candle collection offering scents that rival high-end favourites without the luxury price tag. But act fast, because this limited-edition range is bound to sell out.
You'll be forgiven for thinking that Matalan has changed its family-friendly prices for designer figures when you see the new Unmissable Collection.
The first Matalan Unmissables launch has delved into the world of luxury-inspired candles and diffusers. Offering a slice of designer style and scent through compelling price points, it's a great chance to add a touch of elegance to your home ahead of a summer of entertaining.
But there's a catch. Available in a limited number, you'll want to hurry to the check out as the candles and diffusers are sure to sell fast.
There are plenty of candles and diffusers on the market, but Matalan has thrown its hat into the ring with a covetable new range that are promising to be an affordable swap to high-end brands. And you're going to want to take note.
Diptyque lovers looking for a purse-friendly alternative will appreciate the stylish design. Undeniably chic, the limited-edition candles come in four new luxury scents, designed to infuse your home with impressive scent payoff that's sure to draw in the compliments. And they cost just £9.
There are four scents in Matalan's collection. First up is the Fun and Fabulous. While a nod to the name of another big-name designer brand, it's similar in scent, too, infused with summery scents of jasmine settling into a bold base of frankincense, leather, vetiver and musk. Ebony Flame also has warm notes with frankincense, pink pepper and cypress, and finishing with patchouli, vanilla and amber.
Velvet Petal and Oud is the more floral option with damascus rose, a heart of peony, saffron and a warming base of patchouli and soft musks. Finally, Red Desire with saffron, jasmine blossom and spun sugar at the top, it's addictive and sweet with a heart of cedarwood and sheer white florals.
While they may look too pretty to light, at just £9 for a huge 850g, these are candles you can actually light. And, with an impressive 150 burn time, these would make for an impressive centerpiece and will see you through a summer of busy entertaining, ensuring your home smells wonderful for guests invited or not.
And if you prefer the flameless design and constant smell payoff of a diffuser? Matalan has you covered there, too, with generous 1000ml bottle for just £18. Delivering continuous fragrance for an astonishing 60 to 80 weeks, these combine generous sizing with premium-quality scents.
'These are products you'd expect to see with a far higher price tag' said Charlotte Dewhurst, Director of Marketing at Matalan. 'From the size and style to the depth of the scent, they feel premium through and through, but at prices our customers can truly get excited about.'
You can shop the new Matalan Unmissables online from £9 and in 34 stores.
