I’ve heard great things about Bestselling Marks & Spencer Apothecary range. When I finally smelled the scent for myself, I understood the hype – and I can say I’m a big fan now. So I was excited to hear that the collection had just improved; The most popular scents from the collection (including my favorites) are now twice as strong as before, meaning the scent will last even longer.
A budget-friendly apothecary The scent of home And everything spans from bath and body offerings The best scented candles Room spray, hand wash and lotion, as well The best reed diffuseramong other things – and prices start from as little as £7. And that’s even after improvements that made the scent 50% more intense, which introduced a small price increase, but very little.
Between the beautiful, relaxing, spa-worthy scents and extremely affordable prices, it’s no wonder that during some of the busiest times of the year, a product from the collection sells out every 8 seconds.

Not to mention the fact that some fragrances are known to be very good alternatives to more expensive, high-end brands – especially A warm scent For which there is a suitable alternative Le Lebo’s popular Santal 33 is available at John Lewis. I can tell you that you will be hard pressed to find a candle of this quality and beautifully soothing scent for £10 here.
And with the increased strength of Best Selling quietwarmth, Restore, sleep And revive Fragrances, the Apothecary range is a great budget swap for high-end candles as it can now compete with how well it fills a room with scent, which often affects how long it lingers afterwards.
My personal favorites are the Calm scent, as well as Restore and Sleep, which all offer soothing, herbal scents that each include notes of lavender, with eucalyptus as another prominent ingredient.
These are some of the pieces from the M&S Apothecary range that are currently on my wish list and are likely to end up in my shopping basket.
My top picks
M&S Apothecary
Warmth refillable candle
If you’re looking for an alternative to that Le Labo Santal 33 candle, this one’s for you, with notes of sandalwood (of course), cinnamon leaf, and cardamom.
M&S Apothecary
Quiet room spray
The Calm collection is by far the most popular from the Apothecary range. And I would love to get this room spray and spritz it in moments of stress and anxiety.
M&S Apothecary
Sleep 100ml Diffuser
Sleep is one of my favorite scents, with a blend of lavender, jasmine and eucalyptus notes. And why not go for a reed diffuser that will scent your bedroom without you having to do anything?
M&S Apothecary
Calm Hand Wash 250 ml
I’m a sucker for hand wash in aesthetically pleasing packaging. And this £7 in popular calming scent comes in a chic amber glass with minimal branding.
M&S Apothecary
Replace the refillable candle
If I were to invest in one candle from the Apothecary range it would most likely be the Restorative candle, boasting notes of cedarwood, geranium, eucalyptus and lavender.
M&S Apothecary
Warmth Hand and Body Lotion
If you’re going for a soothing hand wash, why not pair it with a bottle of hand lotion for a hotel-like experience? It can be a matching set or you can even mix and match.
