Best Soy Candles

HomeLights Large Jar Candle has a layered fragrance profile that can compete with the most expensive candles. But, before that, what makes the product as attractive as it is, is the modern-shaped, dusky-colored glass vessel that adopts shining bronze accessories, making the vessel's virtue immediately visible, while the black box that the candle comes with makes the product an excellent gift for those who can appreciate the finger things in life.

Back to the fragrance profile though, between osmanthus and amber, the candle balances brightness and warmth, with bergamot sparking at the top and lemon birthing the sweet osmanthus heart that shines atop golden amber and sandalwood hints. Almost as impressive is the product's three-wick design that ensures the candles burns and produces a consistent scent for ~60 hours.

Less impressive is the fact that the company's scents come without lids and also that the vessels weigh 33 ounces each, though the second part is understandable considering the size (6.34 x 5.12 inches) and the fact that the candles last 55-60 hours.

HomeLights Luxury Scented Candle is based around Darjeeling tea, with its musky-sweet tasting notes that are both mossy and fruity. Aside from the tea's aromatic taste, the candle introduces radiant bergamot and grapefruit, highlighting its smooth texture, and Damask rose, enhancing the trail and warming up with leather and agarwood.

We enjoy the fragrance almost as much as we enjoy the matte white unglazed porcelain body that the jar's adopting, somehow looking both modern and vintage. But we're not crazy about the soy wax sometimes burning unevenly inside this charming vessel.

Besides Darjeeling tea, you can choose between guaiac and sandalwood as well as lemongrass and ginger. The last option offers an elaborate fragrance profile that's both spicy yet zesty and energetic yet soothing, while the middle option has a woodsy scent that's warm and inviting.

The candles will last 35 hours each, which's not bad when you also take into account that they measure just 3.98 x 3.17 inches and weigh less than 6 ounces.

In closing, from bath time and yoga time to coffee time and sleeping time, HomeLights Luxury Scented Candle can elevate most moments and occasions, while the single-nature wooden wick will provide a consistent flame.

La Jolíe Muse Citronella Scented Soy Candle does not follow the common playbook. Instead, the company's candles are using tins that feature Van Gogh’s signature painting, serving an aesthetic purpose and enlivening even the most upscale décors. Plus, when the wax's finished, you can repurpose the tins, using them as organizers or just decoration pieces.

Before the wax is finished though, you can appreciate the essential oil extracted from a citronella plant, with the classic scent combining green citrus top notes and fresh yet mossy bottom notes. This time, the citronella fragrance is the one scent that's available, so you cannot choose a different option, unfortunate news but, on the bright side, the scent's quite brilliant. What's also quite brilliant is the durable soy wax that can be used both indoors and outdoors without worrying about the elements (within reason), preventing buzzing so that you can embrace peace while the candle is keeping bugs away.

Bottom line, La Jolíe Muse Citronella Scented Soy Candle will be able to create a peaceful vibe, diffuse a refreshing aroma, and, deterring buzzing sounds, let you enjoy the scenery without worrying about bugs. Plus, as always, the candle is more eco-friendly than standard wax candles.

CoCo Benjamin Hand Poured Soy Candle smells like basil, lime, and mandarin. The fruity scent does not sound like something you might enjoy today?

Well, there are also options that incorporate apricot, peach, bergamot, grapefruit, blue spruce, cashmere almond, vanilla, white freesia, gardenia, chamomile, peon, musk melon, cherry pie, cinnamon, apple, espresso latte, honeysuckle, jasmine, coconut, pineapple, red rose, wild fig, pumpkin, cassis, and more, so you can choose between different fruity scents, woodsy scents, earthy scents, you name them. Some scents, including this one (basil, lime, and mandarin) will sometimes smell a little artificial but most are delightful.

They come inside glass jars and are shipped with plastic lids, so you can use the candle, extinguish the wick, and protect the wax from dust and debris with the lid. The soy wax that is used here will usually last somewhere around 25-30 hours, which is respectable, though there are soy candles that last more than that.

All things considered, counting the 20 available fragrance options, CoCo Benjamin Hand Poured Soy Candle can be enjoyed by people with varying needs and preferences, provided that these needs and preferences include a beautiful aroma coming from a burning candle.

Not unlike the preceding entry, the candles from Lulu Candles are available in more than 20+ fragrance profiles. These fragrance profiles use pineapple, lemon, vanilla bean, wild lemongrass, cinnamon, bamboo rose, brown sugar, cedarwood, mango, crumb cake, espresso bean, jasmine, lily, bergamot, passionfruit, tobacco, and much, much more. The one that we have outlined here is called fresh linen, imitating, as you can imagine, the smell that comes from fresh bed linen, a smell that most people love, to say the least.

Setting the fragrance profile aside, this hand-poured candle burns clean without producing harmful toxins. Also, a little surprising given that these are pretty cheap, the company's candles stretch the burn time ~40 hours, an impressive feat considering that even more expensive soy candles usually give up before even burning for 30 hours.

What's a little less impressive is that the sticker on the back is very visible when the candle is 50% burned, making the sight less alluring. Still, Lulu Candles Luxury Scented Soy Candles are a delight. Vegan, as well as paraben- and cruelty-free, these affordable candles let you enjoy an inviting aroma without increasing your environmental footprint and inhaling harmful toxins.
