What the best source for scented candles?

house_cat — Wed, 01 Apr 2020 18:17:02 GMT

I've grown addicted to this scent in my home. I have one burning upstairs and one burning downstairs, pretty much every day for the last three weeks. I get these on Amazon, but they're still rather pricey.

Does anyone have a source for reasonably priced, good quality candles?

Thank you.

@house_cat -

My favorite of all time is Woodwicks Redwood, that fills the whole house with such a soothing woody firepit aroma.

I couldn't find it last time I looked in stores, (not that they are open anymore), but I think it is more a winter scent.

Though others I have tried from Woodwick do not have this intense aroma.

If anyone wants to give me something for my birthday, you can

get me a years supply!😃

not reasonabley priced, but i do really love getting ROOT candles (a plus, they are made in america). i splurged a few days ago because my local THE FRESH MARKET carries them. the scents are wonderful. they currently have 25% off and free shipping on their websiet.

for more affordable candles i purchase YANKEE CANDLE when coupons are available (like buy 3 , get 3 free)

I am not a big candle burner so I don't invest a lot in candles but I do enjoy the seasonal ones that Trader Joe's puts out. They are smallish - they come in a lidded tin. Of course, I haven't been to TJ in the current situation but maybe they will be available down the road.

I used to make my own candles. I don't burn them anymore.

That looks like a nice candle. Love the scent name & color.

I bought Beekman's Odor Spray. It has a very light scent. I really like it.

Enjoy your candles!

@house_cat One evening when I went into the basement man cave, there was the most wonderful scent. As it turned out, DH had some melts from his friend who's wife sold the Scentsy brand through the home parties.

I went to one home party years ago for amway, I believe, and said "no more"! So I hadn't experienced this brand.

Anyway, she sent me more and I was in love! The scent and throw was absolutely wonderful!

They have a site now, but we got the last of the scent I loved so, Hemingway.

You also might want to think of oils. Then you don't have to go blow a flame out.

Soft Surroundings has some absolutely wonderful ones. I love their display! Everything is yummy!!! Then you don't have to go blow a flame out.

I love Pure Integrity Candles, they are rather pricey, but I love how they burn, very clean with little to no soot! Their fragrances are really nice too! I did order after winning a gift card from Yankee Candle, some of their candles and they have really improved as well, Their scents were very nice and not as much soot.......Chesapeake Bay Candles have a really good reputation, any other scents that you like from them?@

I use Circle E, their Jar Candles.

Fredricksburg, Texas.

The Wasail and the Country Morning.

Also, like one of their vanilla ones,

just do not know which one in particular that is off hand.

Its hard to say....each brand has its own "demons".....

One brand I did like was Cheerful Giver (in the Papa Jar)....they only have a few left here on the QVC

website....This is where I miss Jill Bauer, she did bring in some good brands to QVC's home category...

I like Bath & Body Works fragrances, but tired of drowning wicks and uneven burning I sometimes experience...even though I follow instructions.....they guarantee their candels but who wants to keep going back to the store... for exchanges/refunds...

Slatkins---some of his scents are hit or miss....and I have lately experienced drowning wicks too with his brand!!!

Woodwick---I like this brand the scents are great and they last....I purchase them at Hallmark....sometimes I think those at Bed, Bath & Beyond are seconds or something they are not as good.....

Yankee Candle---most Ive purchased havent had a lasting scent.....and they did away with my favorite, Storm Watch.....

Walmart--Better Homes & Garden---dont bother!

A candle brand very expensive called Voluspa that has some nice scents...

Am glad to see some ideas here. Have been curious about the Cheerful Giver ones. Yesterday I had to throw away about 1/3 of a lemon scent from Slatkins Homeworx because it drowned out and started to smell really bad. The hobnail jar is beautiful, but his candles have been a disaster. Lately, I started buying a lot of BBW ones and have a huge supply of fall and winter ones. And now I have experienced candles that do not burn down to less than half. What a waste of money. I will be hauling in a bunch to the stores when I can get out again. So I am going to give the Cheerful Giver ones a try for the fall/winter season.(never thought I would say this, but I do kind of miss Jill. She had some great products on her shows.)

Candles like the first one will last longer with a candle lamp. It just melts the wax, and when the fragrance is minimal, you pour it out and melt the next layer.

Three wickers are great with a candle lamp as they're mostly designed for that size. Small jars work, too. Wicks aren't a concern, and there's no burning involved.

@house_cat I only buy candles that are scented with essential oils. They offer all types of candles including soy if you prefer. Aroma Naturals based in California. There are two scents that are my favorite.

Thank you for the recommendation. Which two scents are your favorite?
