The 11 Best Candles to Buy on Amazon, According to Raving Reviews

"This candle smells absolutely amazing! I have burned it for hours and not much of the wax is gone. Scent can help you relax and this is so true with the smell of this candle. I have put it in the bathroom during a bath and it truly helped me relax and unwind before bedtime. The scent is not too strong, and is just enough for you to feel relaxed." — Rebecca

"I got the 'fresh linen' candle and it has the best scent! Very clean, and not too strong like some other brands, it burns low and slow and puts off just enough scent to fill a bathroom or small office, but not enough to give you a headache. The scent is exactly what I want when I am looking for this type of candle. The label is very simple as well, which means it doesn't clash with any decor!" — Candice Walker

"God, I love these candles. They lasted me so long and cost probably half or a third of the price that I would pay for them at a grocery or convenience store in New York City. The smell is perfectly subtle—not too overpowering where you walk into a room and it's like a perfume store. Smells natural, clean, and refreshing." — Matt G

"I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell, but I figured that even if he wasn't a fan, it would still be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money." — Bailey K

"Full disclosure: I am a Yankee Candle devotee. My usual scent of choice is 'kitchen spice,' but I ventured out for this one to replace a very expensive Volcano candle that someone had gifted me for luxurious baths. I was not about to drop $40 on a replacement jar candle, so this Yankee Candle, on sale, of course, fit the bill. The scent is refreshing and sweet, but not too overwhelming, and it reminds me of strolling on the beaches of Hawaii. I also love the cute, Millennial-pink color, and as always, Yankee Candles have many hours of burn in them. I am delighted with this purchase." — Ashley Coffey

"I purchased this candle to help me sleep better at night and it has worked wonderfully. The eucalyptus smell is great and doesn't leave an unpleasant scent when it permeates into the bedsheets and pillows. It takes about 10 minutes to fill a 400-square-foot room with the scent. The three wicks really improve the speed at which the scent is dispersed." — Gary Mai

"This is the one. I can't express how much I love this candle. The scent is so natural and beautiful. There's no artificial smell and the jars make amazing makeup brush holders afterward. It's pricey but well worth it! Burn time seems so much longer than cheaper candles, too." — E. Adler

"Smells so so good! Everyone needs this candle in their home it’s the best sent! It’s in a cute component and burns for a good amount of time, worth every penny!" — Amanda

"This came well-packaged in a giftable box. The jar looks pretty and elegant. It lit up easily and burnt without fumes. The scent is very pleasant. The candle is long-lasting. Highly recommended!" — Hershey

"I got one of these as a gift from my son. The smell is amazing—it's very unique and clean-burning, and much more natural than commercial candles sold at a body shop. The tobacco smell is mild and soothing." — Susan B.
