“I use a lot of candles and Partylite are by far the best. Longest lasting and most beautiful fragrance. I have never found any other candles that are as good as these.”
Stepping into a wonderfully smelling space is a lovely feeling, whether it’s home, or someone else’s place. Candles are an easy way to keep a room fresh and inviting, plus, they make a thoughtful gift for all kinds of occasions, be it a housewarming present, a birthday, or an anniversary.
The key to a great candle is one that is long-lasting, has a clean burn and looks stylish, all while giving off a gorgeous aroma. Specialising in home fragrance and decor, Partylite have built up a loyal fan base with thousands of five star reviews for the brand’s unique collection of candles.
Shoppers say they ‘wouldn’t buy anything else’ since discovering Partylite, with a particular interest in a scented candle they ‘buy again and again’. The three-wick jar candle in Fig Fatale is described as smelling like ‘alluring apricot, beguiling fig and succulent fruits kissed with velvety vanilla’, retailing for £25.95.
Free from parabens, phthalates, and sulphates, the non-toxic candle has minimal soot output, so it shouldn’t leave marks even down to the last burn. The burn time is stated as 24 to 45 hours, and shoppers say ‘the room is filled with fragrance long after the candle is extinguished’.
Fig Fatale has been rated 4.8 out of five by 77 people and is often called shoppers ‘favourite fragrance’. One person said: “love the smell of Partylite candles. Great quality and makes the house smell lovely.”

The candle has notes of rich fig and fruits with a touch of velvety vanilla.
Another consumer commented: “No candle compares with the Fig Fatale from Partylite. It remains my absolute favourite.” As we head into spring and summer, customers confirm it’s a candle that can be used year-round, writing: “My absolute favorite fragrance in every season. Warm in winter, makes you want spring, intense fruit in summer and total comfort in autumn.”
Despite filling a home with fragrance, people note Fig Fatale ‘smells beautiful but not too strong’, making it ideal for those sensitive to intense scents. Someone shared: “I love strong scented candles. This is a heavenly smell and strong enough to clear out fish or burnt toast odour in a kitchen. Makes the whole area smell fabulous without being overwhelmed.”
Shoppers also ‘love the design on the jar’, a sophisticated glass with silver lid and intricate pattern. Some people may not be keen on the dark candle colour and one shopper was left ‘disappointed’ with the scent. Fig fans also enjoy the Diptyque Classic Candle in Fig Tree, however, it is more expensive at £58. There’s also the Partylite Celestial Berries and Blossoms three-wick jar (£25.95) which has elderberries, iris, sandalwood and fig.
Perhaps a sweet floral scent is more suited in which case Partylite’s Café Patisserie Specialty Jar in Lavender Croissant could be just the ticket. The £20.95 candle not only looks stunning, with a lilac and white striped jar, but it also boasts a soothing scent of warm milk, freshly brewed coffee and vanilla sugar.
For a unique take on a candle that combines both home fragrance with skincare, there’s Partylite’s Sea Salt & Sage Massage Candle (£27.95). To use, let the candle burn for 30 minutes until a full melt pool forms. Then, extinguish the flame with the lid and wait three minutes for the wax to become a warm massage oil.
Pour a small amount into hands and smooth onto skin – the luxurious blend of coconut oil, almond oil and natural wax is moisturising, and the relaxing scent should help people unwind and relax. It would make for a romantic anniversary gift, but be sure to test this product on a small area of skin before use. Alternatively, there’s Neom’s Skin Treatment Candle, on sale for £39.20 down from £49.
To go alongside the massage candle, this £9.95 Marshmallow Vanilla Hand Cream from Partylite keeps hands smooth, with shea butter, cocoa butter and vitamin E. Shoppers say a ‘little goes a long way’ and adore the ‘amazing’ scent of marshmallow, whipped vanilla and caramel.
Shoppers have also found a Partylite product they are calling a ‘total gamechanger’ when it comes to keeping their home smelling good. The Smart Home Plug-In (£28.95) connects to an app so customers can control the air freshener when out and about.
There are four fragrances available for the Smart Plug-In (passionate, happy, renewed and mysterious), each refill lasting up to 30 days depending on intensity and usage. Shoppers can schedule run times to match their routine, monitor refill levels and manage multiple plug-ins from different rooms using the app, compatible with iOS and Android devices.
Customers say they ‘love how I can control it from the app’, but it might take a couple of minutes to set up initially. Browse the full range of products from Partylite here.
