Scented candles are truly special to me, as I have always received them from most people for any occasion. I’m not sure whether many people assumed that I’m such an enigma of a person that they didn’t know what to buy me, or they just thought I simply love candles.
This tradition started in primary school and continues until today. Secret Santa? Candle. Birthday? Candle. White elephant gift? Candle. Work gifts? Candle. I guess the scented candles make fantastic gifts and probably why the candles are some of the best items to make and sell online.
Are luxury candles worth it?
If you can fit them into your budget, luxury candles are absolutely worth the price as they provide a touch of added elegance to the home with a homemade touch and more unique scents than budget alternatives.
Luxury candles are made with high-quality, natural ingredients which means that they burn clearly, helping you avoid introducing any harsh synthetic ingredients into your home.
Furthermore, luxury candles have much longer burn times than cheap candles, so your one candle will likely outlast a budget alternative many times over.
How do you know if a candle is high quality?
Luxury candles should be quite heavy in weight and have a clean wick which indicates a hand-poured wax.
When burning the candle, you should also see a clear flame producing minimal black smoke, and the wax should melt evenly without creating a large well in the center.
You can also research the creator of your candle to find out about their ethical practices and candle processing to see if the company aligns with your values.
