Candle companies are typically hard-pressed to set themselves apart from the competition with the immense success of large warehouse stores and national chains, but Goose Creek Candles has made a mark for themselves with candle enthusiasts everywhere.
Family-owned, this company was started by Chuck Meece in Liberty, Kentucky in 1998. Goose Creek uses wicks that are 100% cotton, American made, and lead-free. The candles burn clean and even, and each one is said to contain 3 times the fragrance of competitor’s candles. What really sets Goode Creek apart is their focus on the health and safety of their customers.
The designs on these candles are nothing to scoff at either! Some labels are simple, yet fit the scents of the candles perfectly, while others are more akin to stylish Bath and Body Works candles. Whatever your design choice is, Goose Creek will have it!
Goose Creek Candle Varieties Available
Goose Creek candles come in 3 great sizes with something that will suit everyone’s needs. You can purchase these candles in the following sizes (although not every scent is available in all sizes):
- 7oz single wick candle (approximately 45 hour burn time)
- 14.5oz three wick candle (approximately 35 hour burn time)
- 24oz two wick candle (approximately 150 hour burn time)
Of the above sizes, our favorite has to be the three wick candles. While the burn time is lower than the other two sizes, the candles burn evenly every time and also have incredible scent throw.
If you like candles with a slightly lighter scent, that will last a long time, the larger 24oz jar candles are a great option, and great value as well.
Here are 6 of our Favorite Goose Creek Candle Scents (Pin it!)
6. Toasty Hot Toddy Candle
This one is a real treat and a perfect companion for those chilly nights. The fragrance profile boasts a creamy, rich hot cocoa aroma that’s incredibly comforting. I find that this is a scent that isn’t too overpowering or synthetic smelling like some from brands like this. It’s just a cozy, warm, and inviting scent that you’ll want to keep lit all day long.
5. Blueberry Cheesecake Candle
Next we have Blueberry Cheesecake. My mouth actually starts watering just reading off this fragrance name. This isn’t your average candle – it’s a dessert lover’s dream come to life! With juicy wild blueberries, warm vanilla, spun sugar, cream cheese, and baked pie crust notes, this candle is like a homemade blueberry cheesecake without any of the calories.
This candle is somehow great even for those that don’t always love super sweet scents. Nice work on this one Goose Creek!
4. Apple Bourbon Candle
Apple Bourbon… I loveeee it. It’s like walking into a country kitchen on a crisp fall day. You get a whiff of freshly picked apples, a hint of that sweet, intoxicating bourbon, and an undertone of warm, comforting spices. Now that’s an aroma that would make anyone feel right at home.
3. Vanilla Bean Candle
Next up! This delightful candle will fill your home with the scrumptious aroma of morning breakfast. It has prominent scent notes of Creamy Vanilla and Pumpkin Twist at the top, Harvest Spices in the middle, and Vanilla Waffle, Maple, and Warm Butter at the base. An excellent choice for you vanilla fanatics out there.
2. Maple Butter Candle
Like the blueberry candle, my mouth just waters a bit when reading this name. Mmmm! Try to think of a fresh-baked donut, still warm from the oven, coated in a sprinkle of sugar and a dollop of sweet cream. That’s what this candle smells like – pure, sugar-coated bliss. It’s like walking into your favorite bakery first thing in the morning. Gimme that!
1. Sugared Donut Candle
And finally, next up on our list is a favorite, Sugared Donut. This candle is a bakery powerhouse that smells like a cinnamon sweet bread drizzled with vanilla icing and melted butter. Don’t fret, the cinnamon is light and well mixed with the sugar, creating a very sweet, warm gourmand aroma that quickly fills the room. You get a massive throw with this one; it started permeating my space immediately after lighting. A fan of cinnamon vanilla blends, I can safely say that this candle is the intense older sister of Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla. It’s like walking into your favorite bakery, but you don’t have to worry about the calories!

Sorry,
Do these candles leave walls dirty after burning them for months?
I was wondering if there would be a list or review of Goosecreek. I have been and currently a customer for over a year. I am still on my finding the best throw and scent within their scent library. I do agree with the 3 wick being the best throw but the burn time is lacking terribly. I am a wick trimmer & I still burn through one quickly. I am also doing a run through on their wax melts scents. I love their sales and their customer service is phenomenal. It’s not unheard of to have a candle arrive broken but if you take a picture, send it to customer service they will immediately ship another one to you free as well as a $10 coupon for your next purchase. Also, if they send you an email to review your purchase, you will receive a code for a free room spray. At one time they had a rewards program in which you would earn points on your purchase and be able to use them once your total was as certain amount. They have discontinued the program but I’m hopeful they will bring it back soon. I do recommend Goosecreek but I have to tell the negative as well. I find that the consistency in the throw is lacking. I have repurchased a scent and have it not have any throw. I understand there are factors that make this happen but I didn’t expect such a contrast. Back to your list. I only disagree with the Carnival Apple & The Autumn Romance. Neither to me had much of a throw. Maybe 3/10 but then again it could have been batch specific. I am curious though were the candles listed on this review list the first purchase? I feel first time customer receive higher scented products. Thank you for all the information across the board. It makes it a little easier to decide on a blind purchase.
