I really hope this is now frowned upon as I know this isn’t a candle… but got this as a gift in 2025 I think, and it’s my FAVOURITE reed diffuser ever, as you can see it’s lasted for ages it’s still got maybe 1/3 or 1/4 left and the scent projection is lovely… so of course I’d like the replace it.. but the only problem is I cannot find it for the life of me!! I’ve tried Google reverse image search and nothing comes up…

If broke and we’re very sad. It has a twin and we’re hoping to find a replacement.

I'm researching the biggest challenges candle makers face when calculating their costs and profits.

Do you currently use a spreadsheet, an online calculator, or something else?

And what's the one thing your current method doesn't handle well?

I'm especially interested in materials, packaging, shipping, and wholesale pricing.

Larges were $12/ea and littles $5/25!

Looking for suggestions on non-toxic candle brands that are not full of artificial fragrances. I have a lot of allergy sensitivities. I have used Cellar Door Candles for a while, but I'm looking for some other options. Bonus points if the company offers candle refills.

​​ this candle appears to have a three petaled flower in the flame . The flame widens out and has an unusually tall and wide shape . Do you think it is intentional?

Welp, I’ve been researching Laurier 62. AGAIN. (I do this every so often to see if there’s any new info or dupes) I am absolutely in love with the scent. I usually don’t like really herbaly earthy scents, but this one is so special! I was watching All creatures great and small on PBS at Christmas time, and I wanted a new candle to light while I watched the Christmas episode. While browsing on here, someone described Laurier 62….They said (and I’m paraphrasing) It smelled like sitting in front of the fireplace at the bougiest ski lodge resort during a snowstorm at Christmas time. I had to try it. I worked at nordys at the time and got a good discount, so I tried it and was absolutely smitten before I even opened the box! I loved it so much that I kept buying them and after my 5th or 6th one, I added up the purchases and decided even though I have champagne tastes, I am unfortunately on a beer budget. So…..being a diy’r, I had been thinking about learning to make my own candles, and I thought this was my sign to start. I thought it would be easy to find like a dupe fragrance oil that smelled like Laurier 62! I was sorely mistaken. Only one I could find was the vine vida and it’s just not it. There’s a valiant effort, and it is in the ballpark, but it’s just missing too many things. So, I am here researching again and decided to see if anyone else is a lover of this scent like me and can help me out with any one or more of these:
1- A company who has recreated it successfully in either a fragrance oil or house spray, reed diffuser, candle etc. 🙏
2-Someone who is in the fragrance world that could recreate this in some form. (I’m willing to pay of course)
3-A scent for the winter time that will evoke these same cozy feelings while I watch the new season of All creatures, cozied up by my faux fireplace,in Burns, TN

So I bought this candle last year, it's from the brand Candlelight, it's a scented LED candle called 'Snow Days', and it's the exact same scent profile of a wax melt my now-late grandma used to use when I was younger.

I ended up buying 3 of the same candle, and now it seems that they're not restocking the same candle this year.

Last year I emailed them about the scent to ask what it was so I could find it again, and their response was a little confusing to me, so I was wondering if there are any experts out there that could help me figure it out - it would mean alot to me. Thank you ❤️

My favorite candle scent is a Tuscany Halloween candle originally called Midnight Magic which was then changed to Witching Hour. Does anyone know of a candle with a similar scent? I'm on my last candle and I'd love to find a replacement.

Sorry because I'm sure this question gets asked like 100 times a day but I'm new to candles, I just bought this one and..... Why is almost none of actually burning???? I had a previous one on a plastic container instead of glass and it would all melt before the wick started burning away. Is this just a crappy candle or....? Is it the glass container?

And most importantly, is there anything I can do to fix this?

It was called Victorian fantasy. “a signature fragrance blend featuring a rich mix of citrus and spice—including orange, peach, nutmeg, anise, and bay leaf”

I've pushed the sides down so that more of the wax can get burned off but the flame just melts the middle. It's my second and I'm not really sure if all one wick candles do this or I'm doing something wrong.

Not sure if anyone remembers this scent but I’ve been searching for a dupe for years!

Hey! Has anyone ever experienced warped molds!? Sometimes when I order them, they come in terrible packaging and they’re all bent and I’m just not sure if it’s possible to get the shape back.

I have some that are past the return policy and going to just start making my own since it’s really a hit or miss when you order them online. They don’t always come in boxes and come crushed!

I find paraffin candles are hard to breathe due to allergies, but they're what all the candles are made of in my local shops like Aldi, Home Bargains, Morrisons, and Søstrene Grene, unless I have missed something. I don't have a lot of money at all, so those shops are in my price range. I don't really have enough to buy them online unless they're still good value when shipping is included.

I also don't really want to make my own candles because I don't have the time or means, and I want different colours and shapes so I'd have to buy loads of equipment probably.

Where in the UK sells decently priced candles that happen to be made of soy wax or other natural wax?

hello! my spouse and i became obsessed with the candle/melt "magic potion" from huntington home at aldi. it was limited edition, i guess? and we cannot find it outside of ebay at a higher cost than i'd like.

it was kind of a tobacco, vanilla, something-else scent. it was really good. wondering if anyone knows what i'm talking about, and if you have a suggestion for a possible dupe.

thank you!

So far I've tired both Dio's "Bookstore" candle and ChiCandle's "New Book Pages" candle. They both smell great (with the latter edging out I think) but neither of them are exactly what I'm looking for.

I've heard of Frostbeard Studio's "Bookstore" candle and was wondering if that was close to a B&N smell. I've seen people say that the "new book" smell is tied to memories and is different for everybody based on a book they may have fond memories of, but for me it's always been the smell you get when you first walk into a Borders. I was shocked when Barnes & Noble had the same exact smell, so it must just be the smell that happens in large bookstores when they have a ton of books there. I don't get this same smell at small/local bookstores nor at used bookstores. The fact that it's able to be recreated in multiple large stores gives me hope that the specific scent can be/has been captured in candle form, as I love lighting book candles when reading.

So I'm looking less for "library/old book" and instead for "new bookstore".

I have a candle warming almost all the time. One thing I hate is splurging on a BBW candle and they don’t smell at all. My hubby is dropping hints on what candles I like. Help a gal out?

Are there ways to turn regular taper candles into drip candles? Maybe this would work with other thicker candles, too. How can you do that? I find drip candles very expensive and am looking for an alternative.

Probably should have assumed why it was reduced but others were reduced too and i don't remember if they had it.
