Hello!

It’s hard to smell a Glasshouse Tahaa Affair candle and not fall completely, head over heels in love with its rich caramel and vanilla scent. Until you look at the price tag! But fear not, Kmart has done it again with an affordable dupe that has customers raving.

Tahaa Affair is one of, if not the most, popular candle fragrance in the Glasshouse range – and it’s pretty easy to see (or smell) why. If you’ve ever walked into a Peter Alexander store you’ll know its sweet aroma well. It’s described as: ‘Ambrosial with heavenly caramel and coconut’ that will ‘transport you to the beaches of Tahaa’.

But the kicker is the triple-scented soy Glasshouse Tahaa Affair candle retails for $99.95 for 760g. As a devotee of this candle, I can hand on heart say it’s worth it – the smell is strong and lasts right down to the last drop of wax. But, if spending a hundred bucks on a candle isn’t your style, Kmart’s got your back.

TikTok user Georgia Wiley shared a video of what she believes is the perfect Tahaa Affair dupe, the $15 Kmart Extra Large Tahitian Vanilla Fragrant Candle. Not only is it a fraction of the price, but it’s bigger, and according to Georgia, is just like the Glasshouse version.

“I went to Kmart today and I’m pretty sure they have the recipe for Tahaa Affair by Glasshouse,” Georgia explains. “This bad boy cost me $15. Didn’t cost me my organs to buy it and it smells bloody identical. It’s literally the same thing just with different labelling. It’s three wick. And it’s huge.”

The video attracted a huge amount of interest, but there was one common concern. Does it actually smell just as good when it’s burning?

According to Georgia, it smells ‘really good’ while burning, and others who have tried it agreed.

“It even leaves that long lasting smell like the glasshouse one too!” commented Harvey.

“This smells amazing! I bought it for work and every single person compliments the smell,” added
Laura Jolly.

  • Candles are so ridiculously priced. I do like candles but the price makes me. It purchase them. I will keep an eye out on these ones.


    • I often wait until candles are on special and then purchase them rather than pay full price.

  • Ibdont like the idea of them ripping off other companies, but $99 for a candle is insane

  • Who pays $99 for a candle?

  • I can’t believe the price of candles. With their popularity, they have become sooo expensive. I would NEVER pay $100 for a candle, no matter what. Kmart has a fantastic range, so that would be my go to.
