Aldi’s £6.99 Hotel Collection Candle Goes Viral as Shoppers Compare It to Diptyque

Social media buzz frames Aldi’s £6.99 ceramic candle as a budget rival to Diptyque.

Overview

  • The Classic Ceramic Candle comes in a luxe-looking ceramic jar and three scents: Sweet Iris, Rose & Clove, and Fig Tree.
  • Fig Tree is drawing the most attention online, with shoppers describing a woody, fruity profile suited to festive evenings.
  • TikTok creator @alexkirwinhome highlighted the candle in a viral post that drew numerous comments from buyers praising the scent.
  • Some shoppers question a true scent match to Diptyque’s Figuier, noting the likeness is stronger in packaging than fragrance.
  • Aldi’s Hotel Collection landed in UK stores last week, positioning the £6.99 candle as a low-cost alternative to Diptyque’s £79 option.
