About Us
The Story Behind CandlesBrands
We believe every home deserves the transformative power of a beautifully crafted candle. Our mission is to guide you to the perfect one.
Our Mission
CandlesBrands was born from a simple frustration: finding honest, comprehensive information about candle brands shouldn't be this hard. With hundreds of brands on the market — each claiming to be the best — we set out to create the definitive resource for candle enthusiasts.
Our directory covers everything from heritage luxury houses like Diptyque to exciting newcomers like Lumond. We provide in-depth reviews, honest pros and cons, pricing comparisons, and practical buying advice to help you make informed decisions.
Whether you're a seasoned fragrance connoisseur or just beginning your candle journey, CandlesBrands is your trusted companion in discovering the world's finest candle brands.
Our Review Methodology
Fragrance Quality
We evaluate scent complexity, authenticity, longevity, and overall character. How well does the fragrance fill a room? Does it evolve over time? Is it true to its description?
Burn Performance
A great candle burns evenly with a full melt pool, minimal tunneling, a clean flame, and consistent scent release from first light to last. We test every candle through its complete burn cycle.
Design & Aesthetics
From vessel quality to packaging, we assess the visual and tactile experience. A luxury candle should be beautiful on the shelf — and even more beautiful when lit.
Value for Money
We calculate cost per burn hour and weigh it against overall experience. Sometimes a $30 candle outperforms an $80 one. Our ratings reflect true value, not just price tags.
Sustainability
We examine wax sources, wick materials, packaging recyclability, and brand practices. In 2026, eco-consciousness isn't optional — it's essential.
