My Favorite Spring Candles
While everyone is stuck inside I know I cant be the only one who wants to bring the freshness of spring inside! What better way to cure the quarantine blues that with some online shopping and spring candles?! Now that the sun is shining & the snow is melted (at least here in Pittsburgh!) we all want to brighten up our spaces and like those Glade commercials always told us, the scent tied closest to our memory is scent. So lets freshen up our spaces with some spring scents – shall we?
Now I will be reviewing these spring candles with a few factors:
- Scent notes – according to the website that they came form because I am not a scent genius
- Throw – how far does the scent’s radius reach?
- Burn time – not exact but like generally – again not a scientist
- Price range – on a scale of $ to $$$
- Overall value – rank out of 10. Does the bang outweigh the buck?
Magnolia for Target – Hearth & Hand – Sea Salt & Lavender
- Scent Notes – Lavender and Sea Salt (pretty straight forward). Light and fresh.
- Throw – fills my living room and into the kitchen over time. Not incredibly potent
- Burn time – Soy candles burn longer in general which is what makes them such a good buy. After burning through 2 of these during quarantine, I would estimate at least 20-30 hours of burn time. Pretty impressive for a smaller candle!
- Price range – $. There are a few different jars you can get it in depending on your style at different price points
- Overall value – 8. While the throw isn’t great the price point is there & you can get it at your local Target.
Magnolia for Target – Hearth & Hand – Citrus Grove
- Scent Notes – Grapefruit & lemon
- Throw – fills my living room and into the kitchen over time. More potent than the lavender & sea salt candle
- Burn time – Soy candle so burns longer – I would estimate at least 20 hours. Pretty impressive for a smaller candle!
- Price range – $
- Overall value – 8. I like this scent a little better than the lavender & sea salt. It’s brighter so it can carry you into summer. It has a Capri Blue Volcano factor but without the floral and spice.
White Barn for Bath & Body Works – White Tea & Sage
- Scent Notes – Sparkling Bergamot, White tea, fresh sage with Essential Oils
- Throw – strong throw, fills the room quickly
- Burn time – at least 30 – 40 hours
- Price Range – $$. (I always think their candles are priced a little high so I don’t buy unless there is a deal on the 3 wicks or single wicks_
- Overall value – 9. if you buy on sale I think that they are always worth it. Bath & Body Works has great deals and their throw is awesome too. This scent is earthy and light for spring which I love! Not fruity or sweet if you are not into that. We also have these in our wallflowers right now!
White Barn for Bath & Body Works – Endless Weekend
- Scent Notes – Fresh summer mandarin, sun-kissed magnolia, blue coconut water with Essential Oils
- Throw – strong throw, fills the room quickly
- Burn time – at least 30 – 40 hours
- Price Range – $$
- Overall value – 10. This is my favorite spring/summer scent! Really bright and light for the warmer weather. I personally don’t think that the coconut is too strong at all. This is the freshener in my car, the wallflowers I plug in in my house, and of course, my favorite spring candle. Would recommend buying always.
White Barn for Bath & Body Works – Linen & Lavender
- Scent Notes – Crisp Linen, Lavender sea salt, fresh air breeze
- Throw – strong throw, fills the room quickly
- Burn time – at least 30 – 40 hours
- Price Range – $$
- Overall value – 8. This is my favorite spring/summer scent! If you are someone that likes the fresh laundry smell but don’t want your house to smell like a bounce dryer sheet, this is a great option for you. Right now, this is the scent in my wallflowers for the house to freshen it up for spring!
- Scent Notes – Tropical fruits and sugared citrus
- Throw – strong throw, fills our whole apartment (we have a loft, so no full walls which helps the throw)
- Burn time – at least 40 hours
- Price Range – $$$
- Overall value – 10. This is an OG worldwide favorite. This candle is beautiful and bright. I imagine this is what insta-influencers home in California smells like (unconfirmed but thinking I am right on this one). You really cannot go wrong with this candle for yourself or as a hostess gift!
Capri Blue – Exotic Blossom & Basil
- Scent Notes – White florals, tropical melon, rose, and leafy basil
- Throw – strong throw, fills our whole apartment (we have a loft, so no full walls which helps the throw)
- Burn time – at least 40 hours
- Price Range – $$$
- Overall value – 8. This is also a great scent from Capri Blue – who doesn’t love the scent of basil? While if I am going to buy a Capri Blue candle I will probably go Volcano but if I am looking to switch it up a little bit or try something new I love this option!
Anyone else have a favorite spring cent or candle for me to try out?! I ordered a few more candles during the Bath & Body Works 3-wick sale – I will review those for you too! I ordered Cactus Blossom, Sun Washed Citrus, Palo Santo, & Turquoise Waters.
