15 Best Large Candles to Spruce Up Your Space

Made with a soy blend and poured into fully recyclable frosted glass jars, this three-wick candle will burn for about 24 hours. While Chesapeake Bay offers a wide variety of scents, Peace + Tranquility is a particular favorite that smells like cashmere and jasmine for a relaxing aromatherapy experience.

Another great soy wax option is HHI Candles that boast a dozen naturally scented fragrances, and many reviewers state that the scent lasts a long time even after the candle has been blown out. The Cedarwood Eucalyptus option gets particularly high marks for offering a light and woodsy scent that does not feel too cloying or intense.

If major fragrance potency is what you're after, though, there's no better way to go than Bath and Body Work's White Barn collection that offers specifically "high intensity" candles. Made from vegetable wax with a low burning point, this candle also has an exceptionally long burning time of up to 45 hours.

While this one has two wicks instead of three, it is no less valuable with a soy wax blend that will keep burning for up to 35 hours. Farm to Table Aromatherapy has long been one of my personal favorites due to its super reusable and recyclable jar as well as the comapny's use of natural oils to scent their products. Because the fragrances come from natural oils, however, it is a lighter, softer scent that's not quite as potent or as noticeable as some others.

This is easily one of the longest lasting single-wick candles I've ever used and has long been my go-to housewarming gift for many friends and family.

With a total burn time of up to 50 hours, this pick from Root Candles does a lot to recommend a good beeswax candles. Made in Ohio, the company prides themselves on never using any petroleum-based or paraffin waxes in their products. They instead focus on fragrant essential oils, bee-friendly practices, and lead-free cotton wicks that offer soot-free and smokeless burns.

Love a unique and interesting scent but don't love when your whole house smells tooth-achingly strong? I've got you. This coconut saffron pick from Nature's Wick not only boasts a much softer, gentler tropical fragrance, the three wooden wicks offer lovely crackling sounds reminiscent of a gentle campfire.

Okay, I can't help but adore this company. A subset of Colonial Candle, Manly Indulgence seeks to make candles that appeal to guys, and many of their fragrances appeal to me, too! Among my favorites is this black pine and oak moss candle that truly smells like a hike through the woods. Made from a soy wax blend, it will also burn for about 60 hours.

Love & Linger is also hopping on the dude-focused candle market! "Cowboy" is scented to smell like leather and campfire and uses a proprietary wax blend of both soy and beeswax.

Alright, alright, this is the last time I go on about how cool I think it is that the candle industry is starting to bring men into the fold. Boy Smells makes a point of blending both masculine and feminine scents to create candles that appeal to absolutely everyone. June's scent includes bergamot, cassis, anise, coriander, daffodils, and tonka, an incredibly unique and fascinating formula of fragrance.
