Scentsy Candles vs Other Candles: What Makes Ours So Different?
If you’re comparing Scentsy Candles vs other candles, it’s essential to know what sets Scentsy apart — and why this launch is making waves across the fragrance world.
Scentsy Candles aren’t just another pretty jar on a shelf. They’re a fragrance-first innovation, backed by over 20 years of expertise in home fragrance. Here’s what makes them different:
1. Premium Soy-Blend Wax for a Clean, Consistent Burn
Unlike many store-bought candles, Scentsy Candles are hand-poured using a custom blend of soy and paraffin. This ensures:
- An even, long-lasting burn
- Lower soot and smoke output
- Smooth wax finish with excellent scent throw
Other candles often use cheap fillers or all-soy wax, which can lead to uneven melting, tunnelling, or reduced fragrance strength.
2. Scentsy Signature Fragrances
This is where the magic happens. Scentsy Candles are infused with the same high-quality fragrance oils used in our beloved Scentsy Bars. That means you’re not just getting any candle scent — you’re getting authentic Scentsy favourites crafted for performance.
Other brands? Many mass-market candles use lower concentrations of synthetic fragrance oils or scents that fade quickly after the first few burns.

3. Thoughtfully Designed, Décor-Worthy Vessels
Scentsy Candles are more than functional — they’re beautiful. Designed in-house with a style-forward aesthetic, each vessel is made to complement modern home décor.
Compare that with many generic candle jars that feel mass-produced or lack visual appeal — Scentsy’s vessels truly shine.
4. Safety You Can Trust
Each Scentsy Candle is:
- Rigourously tested for ASTM compliance
- Poured with wicks explicitly chosen for each scent
- Engineered to avoid overheating, flare-ups, and container breakage
Other candles? Not all brands follow such strict quality and safety testing — especially when mass-producing at scale.
5. Proudly Made in the USA
Scentsy Candles are developed and manufactured in Meridian, Idaho, so you know you’re getting a product made with care, transparency, and consistency.
