Designed to scent a room, this 100% premium soy candle is made with the finest essential oils and a 100% cotton wick.

Slightly more expensive, these Voluspa Patterned Glass Jar Candles are a beautiful addition to any space.

10. Luna Candle Company Glass Candles
At only 11 ounces, you might think this Luna Candle Company glass candle will run out so quickly that you’ll have to buy another one.
However, it is not. With an estimated burn time of 110 hours, this is a long-burning candle that burns evenly.
In fact, soy blend wax is made in the USA to minimize the residue left on the sides of the glass when burned.
The vanilla scent contains a hint of jasmine, milky caramel, and even a balsamic heart.
