so what are "good" candles?

[dec13th]

Could I have brands? I don't really like candles too much.
But, I am willing to gift some LOL!

they must be fancy/expensive LOL - this is in response to the Auntie gift post. They don't do Yankee. (I do, and love that big FLagship store in VA. Someday I hope to make it out tot he one in MA).

Thanks!!

There are fancier ones, but I love Yankee Candle. They all smell amazing.

I love Yankee - currently obsessed with the chocolate whoopie pie, actually smells like baking chocolate.

People rave about the Jo Malone ones. Way too much cash for me.

I love candles but good for me is a) didn't come from the dollar store b) doesn't contain lead c) smells good. I'm not overly fussy though. I prefer soy most of the time just because of the clean burn and Hs allergies.

I'd just get a local brand or something off etsy...they'll never know if it was expensive or not.

I burn Yankee, but have heard great things about Bath and Body Works' candles. I'm not sure if that's good enough for your friends.

I also love Yankee Candles, but White Barn Candle Co (aka Bath & Body's candles) are probably my favorite. I don't really buy super expensive candles, but honestly the White Barn ones smell up the whole house, burn clean, and last a while.

Most people I know like Woodwick candles

Voluspa for sure. I think anthro sells them??? I got one from a boutique and omg best candle ever! Amazing, exotic/unique scents. About $30 each.

Also, Calvin Klein makes candles to die for. I almost bought one today called winter fruits and I am kicking myself that I didn't.

I really like the woodwick candles. They have some great fragrances and I love how they sound.

Diptyque is what I always heard was the gold standard: hand blown glass jars, hand poured candles, scents are from the actual plant/flower/etc and not artificial....pricy though.

In my circle of people all the ladies are gaga over everything Partylite.

I second Voluspa. Their 3-wick candles in decorative tins are beautiful. I also go crazy for Henri Bendel candles. Fig is my favorite scent, personally.
