The supermarket is stocking a new scented item that has sent shoppers into a frenzy on social media
Aldi customers are raving about a new £2.99 ‘Parisian’ item that fragrance fans ‘need’ for their homes. Known for selling everything from scented candles to table decorations, Aldi’s ‘SpecialBuys’ collection is often a hit with shoppers.
The latest item causing a storm on social media is the Hotel Collection’s ‘Le Croissant’ candle. Available for under £3 from Aldi stores, the supermarket says the new candle makes homes ‘smell like fresh pastries,’ and customers can’t wait to try the new scent.
Reacting to the new candle on Instagram, one excited shopper claimed they had purchased six. Someone else joked: “I am prepared to cause injuries to get one.”
The candle is part of Aldi’s new ‘Parisian Classics’ range, and there are three scents to choose from. On its website, Aldi showcases the candles and says: “Make your home nostalgic and inviting with the delicious scent of your favourite treats.”
One option is the ‘Kir Royale’ candle. The scent is described as “bubbles and creme de cassis, with red berries and violet flower undertones.” For chocolate fans, another choice could be the ‘pain au chocolat’ candle. Aldi describes it as “a delicious pain au chocolat” scent with “sweet gourmand butter notes filled with smooth, addictive chocolate and vanilla.”
Finally, customers might like the ‘Le Croissant’ candle. Describing the scent, Aldi says: “The smell of a freshly baked croissant with creamy butter baked into each layer of warm, flaky, golden pastry.”
The croissant candle delighted shoppers on Instagram when it was showcased in a post shared by @Aldispecialbuysuk. The caption said: “A candle that makes our home smell like freshly baked pastries? We’ll take 20.”
The post racked up 1.5k likes and lots of comments. Replying to the post, one fan wrote: “Yes please!” A second keen shopper said: “Need.” Another customer agreed: “Omg I need it.”
Someone else claimed: “I am prepared to cause injuries to get one.” Meanwhile, a different read: “Love them and got six but was hoping they would make a comeback in the white ceramic holders.”
For shoppers looking for candles to display in their homes, Aldi also sells several seasonal options that could impress customers this spring. For example, Easter fans might enjoy the supermarket’s £3.99 Egg Candle, which is also from the Hotel Collection. There are three scents available: hot chocolate, strawberry layer, and praline cream.
The product description says: “A timeless gift to fill her space with warmth.” The description adds that the candle has a burn time of approximately 43 hours.
