Plus, with over 50 scents to choose from, our candles are the perfect way to add that extra touch of magic when you’re hosting guests. That feeling when someone says “OMG, it smells so good in here”? It’s our favorite compliment.

Need to freshen up a small room or try a new scent? That’s where our single wick candles come in. Perfect for the bathroom, kitchen, or anywhere else that needs a boost, these scented candles fill up the room with major fragrance…even though they come in a smaller package.

And don’t forget aromatherapy candles, which are ideal for a little end-of-the-day relaxation. Grab your favorite scent – or choose one based on your mood – and prepare to unwind. With quality scented candles like these, your valuable self-care moment becomes that much more enjoyable. Want to try a customer favorite that everyone loves? Our best-selling Eucalyptus Spearmint candle will wow your guests every time.

Pro tip: candles also make incredible gifts, so stock up on a few of your favorites to keep in your gift closet. You never know when those occasions might pop up. Bonus points if you pick out a candle holder or accessory to throw in the package (or just for yourself).

Whether you're a candle connoisseur or new to the world of home fragrance, we’ve got the answers to your burning questions. From what makes our High Intensity Candles different to tips for the perfect burn, here’s everything you need to know to enjoy your favorite scents to the fullest.

FAQ

What are your candles made of?

Our candles are made with a blend of vegetable wax, paraffin wax, and soy. While soy is an ingredient, our candles are not considered soy candles. And of course, fragrance!

What’s the difference between White Barn and Bath & Body Works candles?

Both collections bring the fragrance magic, but they each have their own vibe. White Barn Candles are all about sophisticated scents, neutral wax colors, and timeless décor- perfect for any space. Bath & Body Works Candles capture the spirit of the seasons with vibrant colors and playful designs that bring your favorite moments to life. No matter your style, we’ve got the perfect candle for you!

Why is there wax left at the bottom of my candle?

Bath & Body Works offers a wide variety of candles. We have the perfect candle to set a cosy mood, celebrate any season or match your style.

This is actually on purpose! For safety reasons, our candles are designed to leave about 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm of wax so the glass never gets too hot. Once your candle reaches this point, it's time to pick out a new favorite!

How can I make my candle last longer?

It’s all about the wick! Before each burn, trim your wicks to 1/4 inch or 0.6 cm to prevent excess smoke and uneven burning. And for the best melt, let your candle burn long enough for the wax to reach the edges- this helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even, full burn every time.

Are Bath & Body Works candles safe?

Absolutely! Our candles undergo extensive safety testing to meet or exceed all industry and government standards. To ensure the best experience, always follow the burning instructions on the label- keep wicks trimmed, avoid drafts, and never leave a candle unattended.

Can I reuse my candle jars?

Yes! Once your candle is finished, get creative- our jars make perfect storage containers for beauty products, office supplies, or even small plants. Just clean out any leftover wax and give that beautiful jar a new life!

What makes your High Intensity Candles different?

If you love a candle that fills every corner of the room, our High Intensity Candles are for you! Amped up with even more fragrance, these 3-wicks pack an extra punch for an even stronger, longer-lasting scent experience.

Do you offer candle holders?

Of course! We have tons of candle holders to match any style, from sleek and modern to glitzy and glam. They aren’t just any candle holders. From eye-catching pedestals to more subtle accents, there’s always a just-right option for your candle’s size and room’s style.

Do your candles work with candle warmers?

While our candles are designed to be burned with their wicks, some people do use candle warmers to enjoy the fragrance without lighting them. Just be sure to follow all safety guidelines for your warmer and keep in mind that the scent throw may be different than when burning with a flame.

What is the difference between 3-Wick and Single Wick Candles?

Both our 3-Wick and Single Wick Candles are designed to fill your space with amazing fragrance, but there are a few key differences! Our 3-Wick Candles feature three flames for a faster, more even burn and a stronger scent throw- perfect for filling larger spaces with your favorite fragrance. They have a burn time of approximately 25-45 hours. Single Wick Candles offer a much more subtle scent experience, making them great for smaller rooms, layering fragrances, or trying out new scents before committing to a larger candle. They have a burn time of approximately 30-50 hours. No matter which you choose, you can count on a high-quality, long-lasting burn with every light!
