You can get proper, expensive scented candles at reduced prices in TK Maxx, my Agnes bulk buys once a month. Helps to stem the reek of silage, dung and other farm smells, our cottage smells like Paris in Springtime.
Pedantic grammar Nazi time here, but no, it doesn't always. For example: My mother is ill. And: I'm looking forward to becoming a mother. But 'Are you feeling ill, Mother?'
But on to a more interesting issue. What the hell is Glowbot's problem?

I think it's the powersaving bulbs. They don't make the bot glow as brightly.
LUSH don't use chemicals, they use all natural ingredients.
I think you speak for yourself when it's comes to "visiting other peoples houses" and the smell of candles. I like the smell from most scented candles as do many of my friends.
I doubt he's invited to many people's houses to know.
check out your local asda , they may have some yankee candles mine does. You can get the samplers and the tarts for £1 and I am sure the jars are about £8.
I agree with another poster, Yankee candles really are worth the money. The entire wax candle is scented, not just the outer, which is why the aroma lasts until the candle is finished. Also, as soon as the wick is lit, the scent is emitted. QVC offers good prices on Yankee. Always ensure the wick is trimmed to enable an even burn. Prices candles are ok. But the cheap ones, and the ones which are packaged to look like Yankee, I would consider a waste of money. Depends what your priorities are; I have two big boxers and use my candles daily. Some people may not want to spend a premium on candles, which is individual choice. Compare : large jars are £19.99 each on the high street; on QVC, although postage is £5.95, some sets of 3 large jars are under £40, so it's a huge saving.
If you want an alternative to candles why not try an electric vapouriser or oil burner with essential or perfumed oils? they tend to last alot longer than candles because you only need to use 3-4 drops to scent a room.
Another yankee fan here - Black Cherry and Midnight Jasmine are my favourite. If you want the cheaper option try a burner and the tarts you can pick them up quite quite cheaply and try out some fragrances.
I managed to get some at 50% off in House of Fraser and Debenhams last week - so you can get them cheaper if you're looking.
Asda does a Yankee candle under a different ame something like Home style. The jars have a different shaped lid and they are about £10 I think. They are made by Yankee.
Yankee do a candle scent of the month and they have 25% off so it may be worth keeping an eye out for them.
Make sure you keep the wick trimmed for even burning.
If you buy the huge jars don't light it unless you will be burning it for three hours or more otherwise you will not get an even burn and it will start to dip in the middle and won't burn easily.
If you don't plan on burning so long get small or medium jars.
You can also get shade and diffusers to go across the top of the candle as you burn them.
I have found they make a huge difference.
The candle do smoke, some more than others and the soot can stain your ceiling. The shades help capture some of this.
I find the diffusers help the candle burn level.
As you can tell, I like my candles, not to mask any smells but because I like candlelight and ambiance they provide on dark nights.
I have tried lots of different makes but always return to Yankee.
I love Yankee Candles. I have waaaay too many, but I love them! (I actually have a dedicated 'Yankee cupboard' ) I have the cherries on snow double wick burning at the moment, it's my fave! I find the actual tarts and burners give off a stronger throw of scent tho - but ahhhhhh, I luuuurve them ^_^

I love the smell of scented candles but then I absolutely love the smell of LUSH. I make sure my en suite is full of Lush and I soak up the smell
Thanks for the thread OP, I've now gone into the link and ordered £60 worth of candles I don't need
Another Yankee candle lover here; I wouldn't even consider buying another brand. I always buy a few at Christmas and they last all year. They are excellent value and the smell is out of this world. You can get good deals on QVC and they also have easy pay options if needed.

A Proper noun does have a capital.

There's a 'cinnamon roll' candle in the Yankee range. I love it so much I bought 2 back in my suitcase from America!
