Primark has just dropped a budget-friendly candle set to revolutionise how your house smells. It could trick guests into thinking you’ve become a culinary whiz in the kitchen, with freshly baked treats becoming the new signature smell around your home.
Shoppers are hurrying to nab the £4.50 must-have before it disappears from shop shelves. The hype began when a customer came across the candle at their local Primark and couldn’t resist sharing their find on the Homeware Finds UK Facebook group. This was met with a wave of positive reactions as homeowners quickly became “obsessed. and shoppers raced to stores.
The 240g candle, which comes in a jar, promises a remarkable 35-hour burn time. In an online description, the item is described as “delightful” in both its scent and visual appeal.
The website added: “Housed in a pink jar adorned with charming croissant and pretzel patterns, this candle burns for up to 35 hours, filling your room with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked pastries. The tight-fitting lid ensures the scent is retained when not in use, ideal for those looking to welcome guests into a cosy kitchen or any part of the house.”
It added: “Invite the warmth and charm of a French bakery into your home with this aromatic treat.” In the comments, shoppers couldn’t hide their excitement, reports the Mirror.
One said: “I need to smell this!” Another added: “This looks so cute!” A third wrote: “Need this in my life!” Elsewhere, someone else commented: “In love with the jar, I’d keep it afterwards as it’ll look so cute on a desk!”
Meanwhile, a fifth shared: “I’ve got one already and it’s so nice. Already had a few compliments on it.” If sweet pastry scents aren’t your cup of tea, there’s also a Hot Cherry version.
Primark’s home section is brimming with more candles that promise to showcase what makes you an individual in your decor. There’s this quirky ‘limoncello’ candle for £4.50 that’s sure to stand out in a vibrant yellow. If you’re wanting something smaller, these Scented Jar Candles are just under £2 and come in five different scents.
Last year, a quirky croissant-shaped candle from TK Maxx went viral for its similar scent. However, it was hard to find and many found it challenging to incorporate such an unusual item into their home decor – a problem unlikely with Primark’s version.
The candle isn’t available online, so customers will need to visit their local Primark store. Most branches feature home sections alongside clothing – you can locate your nearest store here.
