<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBath & Body Works Candles Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Bath & Body Works (BBW) candles are manufactured in the United States using globally-sourced ingredients that meet their strict quality standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read this older article<\/a> to learn more details about the company.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, BBW places an emphasis on familiar scents and eye-catching colors that compliment seasonal changes and help highlight your favorite celebrations. Bath & Body Works candles exist to help you create fun-filled experiences inside your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from the number of lead-free wicks used to make the candles, the primary differences between Bath & Body Works\u2019 3-Wick and 1-Wick candles are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n BBW\u2019s single wick candles are about half the size of their 3-Wick candles. The dimensions of a 1-wick candle are 2.75 inches wide x 3.5 inches tall. It weighs 7 oz (198 g).<\/strong> Their compact size makes them perfect for smaller spaces, like powder rooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, 3-Wick jars are 4 inches wide x 3.5 inches tall and weigh 14.5 oz (411 g)<\/strong>. Almost twice as wide, these larger jars are a better fit for master bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The top four ingredients of both candles are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n BBW uses two wax formulas that combine soy, paraffin, and vegetable wax (in this case palm wax). <\/strong>The exact blend for each candle size varies, but each contains some combination of the three waxes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever is listed first on an ingredients list usually indicates the largest proportion of ingredients for a particular product. While there is more soybean wax than the other types, BBW can\u2019t refer to their candles as soy candles because they don\u2019t solely use that type of wax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why they carefully use the phrase, \u201csoy wax blend\u201d on their packaging labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although both candle sizes describe use of natural essential oils, note the term, \u201cparfume\u201d on the ingredients list. Natural essential oils are not synthetically produced perfumes, therefore, it\u2019s likely that only a portion of the scent comes from essential oils. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why they use very specific language, \u201cwith natural essential oils.\u201d Some people don\u2019t realize that \u201cwith\u201d makes a huge difference. It loosely translates into: \u201ca portion of,\u201d meaning, we blended synthetic fragrance oils with natural essential oils to produce this scent<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s really nothing wrong with blending synthetic and natural oils, but the company is highlighting one over the other. I believe it\u2019s Glasshouse<\/a> that does a good job of explaining why this is sometimes necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since natural essential oils can smell different depending on the crop, where it is grown, and when it is harvested, companies combine natural and synthetic scents in order to create a consistent scent experience for their customers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n And this must be true for Bath & Body Works. None of their top fragrances, like Champagne Toast<\/a>, would have been a customer favorite for as long as it has if the scent was different from batch to batch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond the type of scents used, the number of wicks does help determine how well you smell the candle once it burns. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A single wick candle smells best in smaller spaces because the wax pool is small and won\u2019t carry fragrance very far. This is why Bath & Body Works\u2019 3-Wick candles can fill a large room full of fragrance. Since there are three wicks, a larger wax pool forms, throwing more intense fragrance throughout the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fragrances available for 1-Wick candles are taken from BBW\u2019s 3-Wick candle selections. You might notice that there are about half as many single wick candles as there are the larger 3-Wick ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I counted about 48 of the 1-Wick candles and about 100 of the 3-Wick scent options. <\/strong>This is excluding their White Barn scents that are blended in on each results page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, there are differences in the types of lid included with each candle. Smaller, 1-Wick candles have a screw-on lid. The larger candles have a slightly more elegant fitted lid that can extinguish your candle once you\u2019re done burning it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n But no matter how they look, lids help candles retain their fragrance. <\/strong>When you use lids, you can be sure that your candles will have a strong scent until all the wax is gone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s an example of how they look side by side:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBath & Body Works 3-Wick vs 1-Wick Candle: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
