Bath & BodyWorks Candles- UK Dupe

Hello there! 
So today i thought i would share with you a little gem that i discovered whilst i was browsing the aisle in B&M. Now i am a big candle lover and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is jealous of America for being able to purchasing Bath & BodyWorks, whilst i was in the states i made many trips to the store but because of housing rules and lack of weight left in my suitcase i was only able to pick up a couple of the mini candles whilst i was in New York. I love the wintery & autumn scents that they do and want my whole house to smell of them!

So as i was saying whilst i was in B&M i decided to have a little look at the candles as i wanted to save my B&BW candles, and i came across some candles that looked and sounded very familiar...
B&M have a range of candles by Essence and they share a lot of similarities with the B&BW ones, firstly the scent from what i have smelt of both the candles the scents are very similar!Then there is the design, this year the B&BW candles have a leaf design copper lid whilst the Essence ones have a silver leaf design lid! the main difference is that the Essence ones are two wicks in comparison to three but  ! Not to mention that the Essence ones only cost £2.99 in comparison to $22.50.

The main thing that got me was the names of the candles! They are literally identical! 
I picked up two of the candles which were 'Marshmallow Fireside' and 'Black Cherry Merlot' and i have to tell you they smell great. I actually have a mini B&BW 'Marshmallow Fireside' and the scent is slightly different as the Essence one is a little more sweeter instead of musky. Whilst i was in America i did give the 'Black Cherry Merlot' a smell i loved it but wasn't available in miniature size so i had to leave it behind and i have to say that this is very similar in scent. 
Im a really looking forward to burning these candles in my room this autumn and i am going to have to keep an eye out to see if i can find anymore scents from the Essence range! 

Do you have a favourite candle brand or scent?
