20 Best Cheap Candles That Smell High-End | LoveToKnow

Candles are the gift that keeps on giving with their luxurious scents and chic designs. I’ve researched and smelled enough candles in my life to know a candle doesn’t have to break the bank to be a winner. You can find deliciously scented candles in all shapes, sizes, scents. There are even plenty of well-trusted and clean-burning candles made from soy, beeswax, or paraffin wax and infused with essential oils.

My love for candles started early. When I was growing up, a candle was always burning in my parents’ home, a tradition I quickly adopted in my own. Lighting a candle can make a gloomy day turn bright and sunny with tropical and uplifting scents or set the perfect tone for a relaxing yoga and meditation session. I compiled a list of the best affordable (and often eco-friendly!) candles that smell high-end.

Things to Consider

Fragrance: Scent is probably the most significant deciding factor on whether you purchase a candle or not. Some candles give off a light scent while others quickly fill an entire house with its aroma.

Price: How much a candle costs doesn’t always justify how well it works. While many high-end candles are worth the splurge, all the candles on this list provide you with a decadent experience for a budget-friendly price.

Ingredients: Candles are made with various ingredients and waxes, including essential oils, soy, beeswax, and paraffin. Look for candles made with wicks free of lead and zinc for a clean burn.
