The $9 designer Kmart knock-off people can't get enough of
<p>The world of candles is a sweet-smelling market, and the French brand Diptyque has reached a big market by appearing on the social media feeds of celebrities and influencers.</p>
<p>The catch is though – each candle requires you to dig deep into your pockets for one of their luxury fragrances, costing upwards of $80 just for one candle.</p>
<p>However, the crew at Mamamia thinks they’ve found <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/kmart-candles-diptyque-dupe/">the ultimate k</a>nock-off, in one of the most beloved Australian stores – Kmart.</p>
<p>If you like a floral and rosy scent, much reminiscent of Diptyque’s bestselling smell, <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/diptyque/baies-candle/V-008665.html#q=baies&start=1">‘Baies’</a>, then Kmart has got your back with their <a href="https://www.kmart.com.au/product/decadent-scent-pink-peonies-fragrant-candle/2087829">$9 Decadent Scent Pink Peonies Fragrant Candle</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively if you’re not much for floral smells, perhaps you’d appreciate a subtle, figgy scent like Target’s <a href="https://www.mamamia.com.au/target-candle-diptyque-dupe/">Fig Leaf and Verbena</a> candle that retails for just $8 – a steep comparison to the French brand’s <a href="https://www.mecca.com.au/diptyque/figuier-candle/V-008666.html#q=diptyque%2BFiguier%2B&start=1">Figuier candle</a> that starts at $48.</p>

<p>Although these scents are not exact matches, they share tones and notes that are highly comparable – and saving you a lot of money.</p>
<p>The great thing about these discount store candles is not only are they affordable, but the packaging is a thick and heavy glass on-trend with current styles that we know you will be loving. Plus, they're also a great gift idea. </p>
