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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
