If you’re a candle lover, I’m sure you’ve come across Woodwick Candles.
Woodwick candles are awesome, but they do beg the question, ‘why are Woodwick Candles so expensive?’
In this article, I’m going to explain why Woodwick candles are more expensive than some other brands, and whether or not they’re worth the money!

Why Are Woodwick Candles So Expensive?
In a nutshell, the reason Woodwick Candles are so expensive is due to the quality of the materials used and their manufacturing process.
The main difference is that Woodwick candles are made with a wood wick, not a cotton wick like most candles.
Hence the name ‘Woodwick’, makes sense now doesn’t it!
The wood wick makes a cracking sound when burning, which is probably the one thing Woodwick Candles are best known for – and it does sound really cool!
The other materials used in Woodwick Candles are high-grade, natural waxes and premium fragrances.
Woodwick Candles are also known for their long burn times, so you can get a lot of use out of them.
All these factors combined make Woodwick Candles more expensive than some other brands, but there is a reason for that – they are simply better quality.
So, if you’re looking for a candle with excellent scent throw, a long burn time, and a lovely crackle, then Woodwick Candles are definitely worth the extra money.
Are WoodWick Candles Better than Regular Candles?
The word ‘better’ is always subjective, however Woodwick Candles certainly have some advantages over regular candles.
The wood wick creates a unique ambience, and the natural waxes used in Woodwick Candles burn cleanly, so you don’t have to worry about toxins or smoke.
Also, the fragrances used in Woodwick Candles are of a higher grade than regular candles, so you get a more intense scent.
So while they may be expensive, Woodwick Candles certainly have a lot going for them.
Something else a lot of people don’t know is that the Woodwick Candles brand is owned by Yankee Candles, so you know you’re in safe hands.
