Tips for Candle Lovers - 8 Signs It’s a Good Quality Candle

by Manuri Yahampath on Jan 22, 2025
Tips for Candle Lovers - 8 Signs It’s a Good Quality Candle

Candles are more than just a source of light – they set the mood, evoke memories, and transform spaces. But not all candles are created equal. Whether you’re shopping for a relaxing night in or searching for the perfect gift, identifying high-quality candles ensures a luxurious experience every time. Here are 8 signs to help you spot a good-quality candle.

1. Natural Wax Base

High-quality candles use natural waxes like soy, coconut, or beeswax. These options burn cleaner, last longer, and produce less soot compared to paraffin candles. Soy wax, in particular, is renewable, biodegradable, and perfect for those who prioritize eco-friendly choices.

For example, our Original Range features luxurious candles made from 100% soy wax, ensuring a clean and long-lasting burn.

2. Even Burn

Tired of candles that tunnel and waste wax? A good-quality candle should burn evenly, creating a full melt pool across the surface. This happens when the wick size and wax formula are perfectly balanced.

Our Premium Range candles, like the Sweetheart, are meticulously designed for even burning, offering a flawless candle experience.

3. Long Burn Time

Quality candles are built to last. Look for candles with extended burn times, as they’re made using premium wax and wicks that slow the burning process.

For instance, the Petrichor Bowl from our Luxe Range burns for over 100 hours, making it one of the best scented candles in Australia for longevity.

4. Strong but Balanced Fragrance Throw

The hallmark of a luxurious candle is its ability to fill a room with fragrance without being overpowering. High-quality candles use premium fragrance oils for a strong cold and hot throw.

Try our Lavender and Ylang Ylang Candle for a calming and balanced aroma that transforms your space into a sanctuary.

5. Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly Ingredients

A good-quality candle shouldn’t compromise your health. Avoid candles containing paraffin wax or synthetic dyes and opt for ones with phthalate-free fragrances and lead-free wicks.

At Petrichor Candles, all our handmade candles are crafted using non-toxic materials, ensuring they’re safe for your home and the environment.

6. High-Quality Wick

The wick plays a crucial role in how a candle burns. Look for candles with cotton, hemp, or wooden wicks for a steady, even flame. Cotton wicks, in particular, offer a cleaner and healthier burn.

All our candles features a cotton wick for a unique sensory experience, perfect for those who love a touch of sophistication.

7. Aesthetically Pleasing Design

The jar design and packaging often reflect the maker’s attention to detail. Reusable jars or eco-conscious packaging add to the value and sustainability of the product.

Check out our Travel Candle Tins, which combine style and convenience, making them perfect for sampling scents or gifting.

8. Positive Customer Reviews and Transparency

A reputable brand will have glowing customer reviews and be transparent about its materials and processes. Trustworthy candle makers also provide care instructions and detailed product descriptions.

Visit our website’s Bestsellers Collection to explore candles loved by our loyal customers.

Conclusion

Investing in high-quality candles not only enhances your home’s ambiance but also ensures a safe and eco-friendly experience. At Petrichor Candles, we pride ourselves on creating handmade candles with luxurious fragrances, designed for candle lovers who value quality and sustainability.
