White Barn is a well known candle company that is popular in shopping malls throughout the United States. Many times, you will find a White Barn stationed next to, and possibly connected to, a Bath & Body Works<\/a> store. This is because they’re directly related as sister companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also find the same fragrances in White Barn as you would Bath & Body Works. This brings up the question of whether or not Bath & Body Works candles are the same as White Barn Candles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they do have the same fragrance, there are definitely differences between Bath & Body Works candles and White Barn candles. White Barn has shaped their candles to fit a more sophisticated setting, creating a timeless addition to your household d\u00e9cor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What You Should Know about White Barn Candles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this section, I’ll go over everything you should know before purchasing a candle from White Barn. Even though this large brand has become a household name, you want to make sure this is a brand that will fit into your household before making a purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe it’s important for you to know about the history of the White Barn company, what their relationship is with their sister company Bath & Body Works, and what else this company has to offer outside of their popular 3-wick candles<\/a>. This information will give you a well-rounded look into the company and will make your decision of whether or not they’re right for you easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History of White Barn<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

White Barn was created in 1998 by the owners of Bath & Body Works, known as L. Brands. L. Brands created White Barn with the mission of making it strictly a home fragrance brand. When this brand emerged, several Bath & Body Works stores were converted into White Barn stores in order to promote the home fragrance branding they were aiming for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Barn hasn’t always been branded with this name, though. While they were originally branded as White Barn, their name changed to Slatkin & Co in 2005. The majority of White Barn products were replaced by the Slatkin brand. Instead of featuring White Barn branded products, the White Barn stores featured products by Slatkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2013, though, the White Barn brand was brought back better than ever. This time, the brand was directly linked to the Bath & Body Works brand instead of being a standalone brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you wanted to purchase a White Barn fragrance online, you would be redirected to Bath & Body Works’ website instead of a White Barn website. This still holds true to this day. White Barn has their own section of the Bath & Body Works website dedicated to their brand but they still don’t have a standalone website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Barn Compared to Bath & Body Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it may be easy to think that White Barn sells identical products to Bath & Body Works because they have the same fragrances, that’s not necessarily true. While the fragrances are identical, there are some differences between the two brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bath & Body Works displays their candles with brightly colored labels and vibrant waxes to create a candle that looks as aesthetically pleasing as it is fragrantly pleasing to the consumer. White Barn takes a different approach, though, by offering more neutral colored candles. The few candles that are colored are less vibrant and more deep and bold than Bath & Body Works candles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White Barn also offers jars that don’t have such busy decorations as Bath & Body Works candles do. While Bath & Body Works offers candles with bright sceneries and animals or floral designs, White Barn is known for their colored glass jars only designed with the White Barn label. This makes these candles easy to fit in with your d\u00e9cor and less likely to stand out as it’s own centerpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another difference between Bath & Body Works and White Barn is that you won’t find body sprays, shampoos, and other body care products inside a White Barn like you would in a Bath & Body Works. White Barn was created with the sole purpose of being a home fragrance brand, which means you won’t find many body care products in their stores. The only body care products you will find in White Barn are hand soaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now let’s talk about the making of these candles. The makeup of Bath & Body Works and White Barn candles are virtually identical. They are both created with a soy wax blended with paraffin wax. Their candles are considered to be a soy wax blend because more than half of the candle’s wax is composed of soy wax. Because it is a soy wax blend, you can rest assured knowing that your candle will give off a clean burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both White Barn and Bath & Body Works offer candles created with essential oils. Not every candle comes with essential oils, though. When shopping at White Barn or Bath & Body Works, if you are specifically looking for a candle created with essential oils, check the front label that displays the fragrance name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The candles will always display the phrase “scented candle” but if it is made with essential oils, it will also display the phrase “made with essential oils.” If the label does not specifically state that the candle is made with essential oils, then you are purchasing a candle made solely with fragrance oils. This holds true for both brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you purchase a candle that says it is made with essential oils, that doesn’t mean the candle only uses essential oils, though. These brands use fragrance oils in all of their candles but some of them are just enhanced with the use of essential oils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
