M&S Home are following in the fragrant footsteps of Aldi to take on scent supremo Jo Malone. The new 'Library of Scent' range features candles, reed diffusers and room sprays. The new range allows homeowners to fill their home with similar signature scents to that of the luxury fragrance brand, but at affordable prices. The delicious new scents in question are Pomegranate, Petals, Fig and Ginger.

The draw of the new home fragrance range will be the prices. The candles are only £7.50, compared to £45 at Jo Malone.
The Pomegranate range is, to quote Marks & Spencer, 'an intense floriental fragrance supported by vibrant tart juicy berries and warm exotic spices and amber'. To you and me, that means it smells deliciously fruity.
Pomegranate Noir is one of Jo Malone's best-selling scents, it's therefore no surprise that there have been comparisons between the two. The standard 'Library of Scent' candle has a 35 hour burn time, compared to 45 hours at Jo Malone – but surely the £37.50 saving is worth it?
