A popular Aldi SpecialBuy has returned to the middle aisle and it’s a bargain alternative to a designer candle 16 times more expensive.
The re-released candle from Aldi’s Hotel Collection, No. 16 Oud and Bergamot, costs just £3.99 and has more than 100 five star ratings online.
Following its rave reviews, I picked up one of the candles in my local branch, found next to the honey and nectarine scented candle which has proved so popular, it’s already sold out online. But fear not, Oud and Bergamot is still available online, for now.

The candle comes in a matte grey container with a silver lid, described by the German retailer as ‘luxurious’ with a 50-hour burn time.
A candle-lovers dream, the medium sized candle has not one, but two wicks, which is much better for an even burn with no tunnelling. It means far less wax, and therefore fragrance and money, will go to waste.
Known for its low prices and dupe products, Aldi named the candle after the fragrances in it: Oud and Bergamot.
It’s the exact same name as a Jo Malone candle that carries a £62 price tag, meaning you could buy around 16 Aldi candles for the same price.
The packaging looks fairly minimalist and expensive, but the matte finish on the jar makes it prone to scuffs and knocks, unlike its pricier counterpart.

On lifting the lid, the woody scent is rich and intense, reminiscent of a high quality luxury aftershave.
One quality I did notice was that you don’t get that alcohol or chemical

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorWhen Sting first released the song “Russians” in 1985, the Cold War had been raging for nearly 40 years, and the song aimed to strike a humanizing tone on the people actually behind that Iron Curtain. Just weeks earlier, the Soviet Union had gotten a young new leader named Mikhail Gorbachev who ultimately would end that war and change the world in the process, for the better, it seemed at the time.Sadly, four decades later, Russia has launched the most devastating ground war in Europe since World War II with its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, and it’s necessary to strike a humanizing tone again, and Sting has released a re-recorded version of the song to benefit www.helpukraine.center — a volunteer storage center established by Ukrainian business owners where humanitarian and medical aid can be sent from all over the world – with funds being processed through the German charity foundation, Ernst Prost, People for Peace – Peace for People.
