Heads up, Jo Malone candles.

A friend bought me the Lime, Basil and Mandarin one - its not quite as strong as my 'proper' one but I'll be buying more. For that price you can't knock them. They don't look cheap either, they are in a very similar jar to the JM ones.

I don't know what all the hype is with these candles, I saw some yesterday and wouldn't pay £3-99 for them. I don't see how they can be classed as " knock off " I thought that meant stolen goods, does it mean replica's as well ? as far as replicas, if Jo Malone candles smell anything like these God knows why people would pay over £40 for them . I realise scents are a personal choice but these cheap candles in my opinion smelt like cheap candles .
Do they really smell like the Jo Malone candles ?

Knock Off means copy. The one I have does actually smell like the Jo Malone one stood next to it - just not quite as strong, and I'd buy more if they still have them when i go.

I was so sure knock off meant stolen that I googled it in the end and it does indeed mean both stolen and/or replica of , maybe it depends which part of the country you are from but I was always led to believe it meant stolen .
