Who doesn’t love a good lavender scented candle?
There is a reason that lavender is one of the most popular candle scents of all time. It’s well known relaxation properties make it one of the top choices when it comes to aromatherapy scents. Because of this, it also makes for an incredible scent choice for a candle. It’s a perfect match.
Being a lavender scent lover myself (really, who isn’t?), I’ve tried an ungodly amount of lavender candles in my time. And today, I’m going to share some of the best lavender candles that I’ve come across.
As always, this is my opinion. I’m sure there are some extraordinary lavender scented candles out there that I haven’t tried.. (*wink wink* please share those with me in the comments!).
Candle Junkies Favorite Lavender Candles, Ranked!
I was getting some comments that say I include too many candles in my top lists and that it makes it difficult to choose between my favorites. I’ll try to keep my lists smaller from now on and include only my absolute favorites. Hopefully this makes it a little easier to choose from my recommendations! 😛
5. Diptyque – Feuille De Lavande / Lavender Leaf Candle
Do I really need to say anything more about Diptyque Paris and their amazing candles? Feuille De Lavande; or Lavender Leaf, is very true to the real scent and one that diehard lavender scent lovers will adore.
Price: $$$$
Pros:
- Excellent, accurate scent
- Simple, yet elegant design
- Powerful scent
Cons:
- Expensive, the most expensive on this list
4. Yankee Candle – Lemon Lavender
I go back and forth on which candle I like more: Yankee’s Lemon Lavender or Yankee’s Lavender Vanilla.
I put Lavender Vanilla ahead in my favorite Yankee candles of all time list, however, I think as a fan of lavender scents, I’m really liking Lemon Lavender lately.
Price: $
Pros:
- Excellent value for how long this lasts
- The lemon adds a nice touch to this fragrance
Cons:
- Can smell cheap to some people
3. Mrs. Meyer’s – Lavender Candle
The Mrs. Meyer’s Lavender candle is extremely strong. Some of you may like that, others might not. You’ve been warned.
Price: $$
Pros:
- Very powerful lavender fragrance
Cons:
- Very powerful lavender fragrance (some might not like how strong it is)
2. NEST Cedar Leaf & Lavender
Cedar Leaf & Lavender is what I’m looking for when I want a nice lavender candle, but I also want a little more with the scent. NEST is great at making some complex, long lasting scents, and this one fits right in with that theme.
Price: $$$
Pros:
- Great scent combination, woodsy with citrus
- Long lasting
- One of the best looking candles on this list
Cons:
- Expensive, not Diptyque level expensive.. but expensive
- Not a purely lavender scent
1. Votivo – Saint Germaine Lavender Candle
Similar to the number 2 pick on this list, I love this candle because it is a lavender scent with a little more to it. Votivo really nailed this scent and it’s nice and strong too!
Price: $$$
Pros:
- Powerful! But I can’t get enough of it
- Great looking jar
- Slow burning, long lasting for the size
- Beautiful, complex fragrance
Cons:
- A little pricey for the size
- Can burn a little too slow, flame sometimes has trouble burning bright
