How we test candles

We selected these luxury candles based on two factors: reviewers’ opinions, and our thoughts. Yes, our home fragrance expert Annie has managed to get hands-on experience with a few of these candles, so we can recommend them even after testing inside our homes. Rest assured, though, the ones that we’ve not yet tested came highly recommended by happy fragrance lovers far and wide. A bit more about our candle tester: Annie lives in a spacious 2-bed apartment just outside of the city with her husband-to-be and two pets, so it’s imperative that her home always smells welcoming to guests, whatever the season. These candles are ranked by scent, depending on the season, and by throw performance while considering each one’s vessel and its price tag, too. You can find more info on how we test products at Homes & Gardens. After testing these candles, we’re always environmentally conscious and will try our best to reuse these jars. Find how to get candle wax out of jars so that you can reuse yours, too.
