18 best WoodWick candles we'd burn for hours at a time
So. Damn. Good

You've probably heard of, or seen, WoodWick candles - the super popular brand owned by Yankee Candle. Thanks to their natural wooden wicks that create sounds of a crackling fire when you burn them, each product is completely unique, and we're *obsessed*. With seemingly endless scents to choose from, the brand has an almost cult-like following, with fans claiming they never need to buy any other brand. Here's everything you need to know about WoodWick...
How long should you burn a WoodWick candle?
This all depends on the size of the WoodWick candle you buy, but for some context:
- Mini hourglass candles can burn for up to 20 hours
- Ellipse candles can burn for up to 50 hours
- Medium hourglass candles can burn for up to 60 hours
- Large hourglass candles can burn for up to 130 hours
That's a lot of hours.
Do WoodWick candles burn clean?
Yes, the candles are made from a soy wax that produces a cleaner, virtually soot-free burn. Burn for enough time to melt the entire top of the wax on your first burn to ensure an even use.
