My favorites were always Skatkin but now I am looking for a new brand that has the best scent throw. What do you recommend?????

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!!

Another big Thumbs Up for dw home brand candles. Smell divine, burn long and even and have great throw. Prices are great and they come in a nice variety of sizes.
