For me, the Bath and Body Works are the BEST for the money. They burn evenly and you are able to smell them throughout the house. The selection is amazing. The sales are wonderful....I am a fan.

I like BBW as well, but I don't burn them - I cut them up and put them in my warmer and the scent is the best throw ever to get from them. I have had nothing but issues with the 3-wicks drowing out for years.

Last week I picked up a 3-wick candle from Walmart that they sell by the Glade candles. It's called "Caramel Apples," and it smells great. It's a wonderful autumn scent. They are in the same types of jars as the Bath and Body Works 3-wick candles, but these have better throw and last longer. It's also under $6. I picked up my second one today.

Never thought of do this, but I am going to try it. Have never had an issue with the three wicks drowning.

Other than the Fall Candles from BBW I haven't loved their others recently they all sort of smell the same, and the prcing has increased.

That said we are getting their pumpkin candles

I have been buying candles from DW Home a brand from TJ's Marshalls and Home Goods, good scent throw, different scents, nice pricing.

Kringle Candles.

Made by the son of the man who started Yankee.

Yankee was the premier candle company back in the day. Hasn't been the same since they sold out (and even a bit before that). But Kringle was started by the son, and the father has been involved with the company as well.

Candles are more what I remember Yankee being back a couple of decades ago. The smells are pure, the throw is good on the one's I've tried, and just in general, a better performing candle than a lot of what is out there now.

They have a website for info and to purchase if you can't find them in your area.

IMHO ABSOLUTELY Pure Integrity Soy Candles

Fantastic throw, burns SO clean, highest fragrance EVER!

They LAST FOREVER!!

Nice small family owned business in Western New York.

They have a website: pureintegrity.com

I bought them one Christmas in the Mall Kiosk....then lost track of them after the holidays. Someone on a previous candle thread posted them. They have a store in a different, smaller local mall and a huge web business.

Now that I have found them again...I will never waste my money on any others. They just can't compare!!

I agree with Respectlife about Pure Integrity candles. I bought one after someone mentioned them a few months ago. I absolutely love these candles and will buy them again.

Swan Creek Candle Co. online. They have fabulous scents and throw. Since I discovered this company, I don't buy real candles any other place. For Fall, I like Dutch Apple Pie and some type of Pumpkin and for Christmas, Gingerbread. Every scent I have tried is wonderful, but these are my favorites.

Bath and Body Works 3-wick are by far my favorite but my other favorite is Crossroads candles. Their #1 seller is Buttered Maple Syryp, all of their large candles are 2 wick and this scent is to die for. It burns clean and nothing ever left at the bottom of the jar, burns all the way down and smells jsut as good the last burn as the first burn. They are made here in Ohio about 1 1/2 hrs away from me. Love them.

I second mousiegirl's recommendation. I've tried many brands, and Swan Creek candles are the best I've found yet. They can be found in some stores, but as mentioned here, they are available online.

I am blessed to live near a Swan Creek shop. If you ever get the chance, @mousiegirl, I encourage you to go to one. It's a fun experience, as they have all sorts of goodies and at reasonable prices.

Edited to add their candles are soy based and burn clean.

We have a Swan Creek shop in a town we visit frequently as well, and I have to say I've had mixed results with their candles.

They all smell yummy, but several I've had have virtually no throw, and one had a terrible tunneling problem.

I have one right now on the coffee table in my family room, and it is so strong (and I mean that in a good way) that I have never had to burn it, and the scent fills the whole room. The first couple of months I had it, I could smell it on the next level of the house any time I came in. I think it has been sitting out for at least 5 months.

I get the best use out of their candles by not burning them. The scent seems to last a very long time, and fills a room for many months. Once I begin to burn them (even a brand new one) I just don't get the same throw.

I like Beanpod candles, which are soy candles. A couple of years ago I found a website during a search for soy candles. It is Papa's Candle Shoppe. They are a small business in Pennsylvania. They have specials, especially around the holidays and have special offers for people on their mailing list. They also have a deal of the day. I have twice bought the 6 pack of jelly jars. They are the first brand of candles that I've used that burn all the way evenly to the bottom of the jar. Their shipping is very quick too.

The scent throw is amazing when doing it this way - plus I feel like a 3-wick lasts forever when I use it like this!
