10 Most Affordable Best Smelling Candles in The World

The Jonas Brothers would surely be burnin’ up for this list of the most affordable best smelling candles in the world.

Everyone loves a good candle, especially me. When I was living with my parents they never let me have candles, so now that I’m an adult I like to buy them in bulk to make my space smell nice. It’s quite soothing to burn a candle in a dark room when you’re just trying to relax or even just have one burning while you’re doing things around the house. They’re much more effective than a cheap room spray, which, for the record, I’m really allergic to and doesn’t get my approval. Even incense is sometimes a little too much for my nose. I prefer either an oil diffuser or the classic, good smelling candle.

There are so many brands of candles out there that if you’re not into them you might think it’s excessive; however, not all candles are created equal. There are a variety of factors to take into consideration, like the strength of the smell while the candle is burning (sometimes candles don’t emit a smell when they’re burning), how long the candle lasts, what the wax is made of, what the wick is made of, among others. You can’t always just pick the first one you see off the shelf at Target if you’re really trying to spice up your life and your home. Scent, of course, is highly subjective and not everyone finds the same things to be nice. For example, I hate lavender despite the fact that it’s one of the most popular candle scents and is supposed to be soothing and help you fall asleep. For me, I just start sneezing. Hard pass.

In order to create this list of most affordable best smelling candles in the world, we let candle aficionados be the judge. We took to Amazon and went to the scented candle best seller list. From there, we created two criteria: the price/affordability and the user ratings. Essentially we took the average of these two things to create the list, but primarily the cheapest candle rose to the top. Candles can often be extremely overpriced, like on our list of the Best Luxury Candles in the World. We don’t all have the budget for that kind of life. Keep in mind thought that Amazon prices change daily, so they may not match at the time of your reading this article. 

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the most affordable best smelling candles in the world.

 

10. Yankee Candle Company White Gardenia Large Jar Candle

Price: $18.90

User rating: 4 out of 5

If you love florals, especially white gardenias, you’ll love this scent. The burn time is around 110-150 hours and it’s made of premium grade paraffin wax, ensuring a strong burn. It’s a little on the pricier side, but Yankee candles are so big that it’s worthwhile.

 

9. Natural Lemongrass, Citronella Mosquito Repellent Candle

Price: $17.67

User rating: 4.3 out of 5

Not only does this candle have a nice lemongrass scent, it also repels bugs with the citronella. It can be burned outside as well and doesn’t include any harmful insecticides. It uses essential oils to keep the bugs away.

 

8. Plumeria Scented Candles 100% Soy Wax Glass Jar

Price: $15.75

User rating: 4.5 out of 5

This candle primarily uses plumeria essential oils to produce its fragrance. It uses completely biodegradable soy wax to preserve the ecosystem. It burns clean for about 55-60 hours and it comes in fancy packaging. If you’re unsatisfied, the company offers a full refund.

 

7. Northern Lights Candles Spirit Jar Candle (Whiskey & Tobacco)

Price: $14

User rating: 3.8 out of 5

Whiskey and tobacco seems like an odd scent choice, so it’s rather niche, but it’s a warm smell that offers about a 35-hour burn time.

 

6. CandleScience Love Spell Type Candle Scent

Price: $10.99

User rating: 4.4 out of 5

This isn’t necessarily a traditional candle, rather it’s a scent that you can add to the mixture of soy wax to create a scented candle. If you don’t like mixing your own candles, you might want to pass, but if you love DIY projects then this is for you. You can also use it in oil burners. Despite the fact that it might not be considered a regular candle, it still ranks on our list of the most affordable best smelling candles in the world.

 

5. Scented Candles (Lavender) Soy Wax Aromatherapy Candles

Price: $10.95

User rating: 4 out of 5

While I don’t like lavender, many people do, like everyone who bought and rated this candle highly. It’s a classic scent that works for all seasons and it’s quite soothing. This candle is made of eco-friendly soybean oil. Lavender has many benefits, like relieving insomnia.

4. Scentsy Bar: Vanilla Bean Buttercream

Price: $8.25

User rating: 4.2 out of 5

If you’re familiar with Scentsy, you’ll understand how this works. Essentially the company sells wickless candles that you melt on a warmer powered by a small light bulb to emit the scent. If traditional candle burning makes you anxious, this will be a great option.

 

3. Thunderstorm Scentsy Bar, Wickless Candle Wax

Another Scentsy choice made it to this list! This one smells like fresh apple pie, so if you love warm, fall scents, this is a great one for you. It’s also very reasonably priced.

 

1. Mrs. Meyer’s Merge Clean Day Scented Soy Candle

Price: $6.64

User rating: 4.3 out of 5

This is the cheapest of the bunch, which is why it’s ranked so highly, but on top of that, the candle comes in a beautiful glass container and it’s made from eco-friendly soybean oil. It contains no harmful chemicals and smells fresh.
