how the hell is dragon pussy by decent candles not here? here's some of their other candles: Angry stepdad, creepy neighbor, butt slut, and one I'm sure at least one person in this comment thread will like, pumpkin fucker.
I was thinking the same thing and about to write a comment, but I found the transcript at the bottom of the description section. It has the entire script and cue, which includes each candle's name. It helped me a lot!👍🏾
Thank you so much! I was using diffusers due to the whole candle wick controversy. I only know Yankee Candle. I smelled a Archel-something candle & was looking for a review due to the cost. Some names are said so fast I cant understand. Never heard of any of these.
“From Extraordinary to Bath and Body Works.” You went there! 🤣🤣 Love that you did a candle ranking. What a great idea! Screenshot and saved the final results. Perfection!
I'm not even lying, I came here and I'm suffering from anxiety right now, and 10 seconds in and your energy is already helping because you seem really chill and down to earth.
@@achnix3167 Oh no i meant like, ya their trash but it would be cool to know how they sitll hold up compared to the others just to paint a bigger picture but ya its whatever
This was fun to watch. I primarily stick to Bath & Body works. I venture out when there are sales on other brands. But now I’m interested in your top shelf candles.
Is there a list of brands written out? The transcript give phonetic information not the actual names. I kept searching for Sydney Hale candles and this popped up. I can't seem to discern all the various brands I'd like to try but I'm pretty sure Sydney Hale isn't in there. Anyway not sure if there is a list out there somewhere
Thank you for making this list! I appreciate a ‘short’ video (Version 1.0). Perhaps an extended’ Version 2.0 where you go a bit more in depth and name the scents you tried. Overall, super fun video! 👏
I agree that none of the brands were "trash", however, only having 3 tiers of ranking which all seem positive makes the video a bit redundant. I left the video as unsure about the candle companies as I entered (and I have worked with luxury goods for over 10 years). I would have loved different terminology and more tiers to really get you to think critically about your placements. I mean, even 2 of the "mediocre" companies were based on a preference of scent profile, not performance. An example of tiers that I believe would have helped you be more divisive would be "Holy Grail, High Quality, Standard, Needs Improvement, and Unsatisfactory". I'm sure you did the video this way to stay in good standings with all of the companies mentioned but as long as you're critical, honest and thoughtful, the video would be much more informative and impressive. I appreciate the video overall though!
Good eye! My all time favorite car brand is Lamborghini. I could talk all day about my favorite classic being the Islero S or my favorite modern being the Aventador SV. I love luxury cars in general and could definitely start making some content on them.
0:18 omgggg I wish I saw this video before I got b&bw candles from their candle sale 😔 I’ve been dealing with illness that causes for my mobility to be low and I thought the candles would help lift my mood since I’m sad & miserable most of the time. Why did I lite these 3 wick candles and could barely smell anything, even when I stuck my nose 2 inches from the flame??? Just made me sadder
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to create these informative videos. Although I prefer Gourmand and fruity scents, your insight into quality has truly helped me as I build a solid scent library for my apartment. I am relieved that I haven’t had to waste my money nor my precious nose sensitivity to cheap brands. I took a risk and fell in love with “Jungle Bloom”, due to your recommendation! I am excited to see your upcoming review of the Beach Club series from Otherland Co. I just purchased a bundle and want to compare notes.
The ultimate offering of a warm and comforting scent is the Marron candle by Jovoy. It smells EXACTLY like a pan of warm milk on the stove with a sprinkling of spices, a tablespoon of chestnut puree and two tablespoons of sugar stirred in. When you want to feel cosy and you're wearing new pyjamas and reading a great book in bed, THIS is my best recommendation for a candle. It burns evenly with no tunnelling and there's no smoky, sulphurous puff of smoke when you blow it out-- instead you get a final cloud of the scent bursting into the room for one last hurrah. Really lovely and great value, comes in a frosted ruby red tumbler.
Love the video. I wouldn’t have minded if you made this a 15-20ish minute video. Just a little more in-depth for just a few more moments. Best and only candle content creator I watch!!!
Just found your channel and OMG you blew this outta the park! Incredible job of ranking these candles. A few I was unfamiliar with and am excited to check them out. Again, thank you for a job well done!
Always look to you for advice...& take it seriously......Many of these Brands I know... & have tried.... But you went WAY too fast..... But I still THANK YOU....& Appreciate it...
Yup Diptyque Baies is my favorite 🤩. I purchased a few candles from Harlem Candle Company based on your recommendations and l loved them all except one
As alway great review. You have influenced my choices. Iam now exploring new brands or saving up for some suggestions . I’m excited to try Amen. Currently I’m slowly burning a pickwick scent that I hate…it smells like my MIL!! It might have to live on a porch
Love this!!! Evermore London Moon is one of my faves, knocked out Cire Trudon in my heart only because it has a better hot throw in my room ❤️ will save this video for reference in the future :) Le Labo Santal 26 is also the best of all the Le Labo candles! 😊 I have Tree House by Byredo and would love to love it but the scent didn't fill my room 😪
If you can't afford to expensive brands or simply don't want to spend crazy money on candles, the only candle brand you will ever need to buy from is DW Home. You are welcome.
Without seeing the name brands typed across the screen, I’m unable to understand any of the brands you’re saying. Seems like a great video. Just wish I understood the names you’re saying. Would be even better to have links to each brand in your details.
I want simple woody, spicy, maybe vanilla maybe cinnamon type scents. But my main concern is relative longevity value per dollar spent. The cheapest candle that has insane longevity and simple woody/smoky/spicy scents
I love super strong fragarnce and there's some inconsistency depending on the scent. Shoutout to Spark & Sparkle LLC Soy candles...handmade and STRONG.
Great ranking video. I absolutely love Southern Elegance, particularly “Treehouse.” Today I’m burning “Sit a Spell.” I love that they include fragrance descriptions on the label. I was hoping Capri Blue’s “Volcano” would be included in your rating. Do you not care for it? For me, it’s a very strong favorite, right up there with my favorite Southern Elegance fragrances. Oh, and I need to decide which Dyptique candle I want to try.
Loving your content. I don’t think I’ve seen such a candle video on a mens channel. I really find a lot of mens channels very dry and they are either screaming at me or they dress with no personality. Keep up the good work ❤
Hi Detailed Dream, would you be open to doing a Black American owned Candle Company video for Juneteenth? Just an idea. Love your channel!! Thank you. 💛
I never thought much of candle brands until watching your video. NEST had a sale and I tried it. Wow. I don’t know what you think of that brand but I’ll never buy another Bath & Body Works candle. This one smells like quality comparatively. Thanks for your videos.
Can you do more on Curionoir? I’m obsessed with those candles (have about ten 😮) would love to see what you think of Cellar Feels and Orpheus Incarnate
Great ranking! There are many on your list I haven't yet tried, but definitely agree with your top picks. As far as high end candles, I would also recommend to try some by Guerlaine, they are my new obsession, especially Encens D'Hiver and Epices Sous Les Etoiles.
That was super helpful. Thank you. You made me look into some of these brands. I've recently bought Malin & Goetz Tomato candle and CurioNoir Diaphanous candle. In comparison, Malin & Goetz is fantastic and I am dissapointed with the CurioNoir candle. It may be this particular scent or batch, though. Luckily for me I bought it on sale for 58.00GB. Still I wouldn't pay the price knowing its performance now. I had more luxurious experience with M&G's tomatoe. It gives very nice sophisticed scent. CurioNoir burns just like a cheap candle to me. Otherland and Cire Trudon are next on my list.
I’m a huge Curio fan - Diaphanous isn’t the best from the range - if you get the chance I would try Pablo, Cellar Feels or Orpheus Incarnate - those ones are incredible. A big part of the price is the hand blown glass which I collect and loooooove
Hey! Great video. I'm a massage therapist that works all day everyday. I am looking for the best long lasting candle. Is there a candle that comes to mind that you recommend for scenting a room for massage that is also long lasting in terms of burn hours? I go through candles very quickly and am always searching for ones that are good quality that don't burn too quickly. Thanks so much! Xo
I searched for Kira noir candle and got some way different results... It must of been hours searching for her candle company before I realized I may have been on the wrong track.
Diptyque is legendary. Diptyque's candle scents and fragrances waft like butterflies but, however, they're highway robbery. Here's why... This from Diptyque: "In addition to natural fragrances, Diptyque candles can also boast a high quality that is hard to match." Read between the lines. Natural fragrance does not mean essential oils. If Diptyque used essential oils they would say so. Diptyque uses synthetic oils, which almost all high-end perfumers use. There's an argument too that pure essential oils don't have a strong throw but that's another discussion. My main critique with Diptyque is that their candles are dry and very little oil is used, whether synthetic or natural. Many candles have little to no smell at all. Diptyque was once a small company making small batch artisanal candles. The amount of oil in their candles used to bead up on the wax surface. When lit, their candles filled the room with extraordinary fragrance. When unlit, their candles had a strong cold throw. No more. Diptyque's quality is gone but it's no surprise. Diptyque expanded to some 100 stores all over the world and with expansion comes compromise. Diptyque candles are mass produced, of poor quality, and sold for exorbitant prices. Then there's this. "Diptyque candles are all hand-poured and made of high-quality paraffin wax." This is crazy. You're paying $80 for a candle made with petroleum based paraffin wax. Is this paraffin wax from China or from France? Does it matter and how do we know? Oh, and thank you Diptyque for not using "poor-quality" paraffin wax. I can't make this stuff up if I tried. Of course, Diptyque couldn't use soy wax or beeswax because this would be too costly for them and they'd have to have to raise the price beyond what is already extraordinary. Better to pinch pennies at the factory and maximize profits. Sounds like something something an equity firm would do, not an artisanal French candlemaker. It goes on. "Each candle is carefully prepared individually and hand poured to ensure that a qualified person can spot any problems and flaws." Does it matter if a candle is hand poured or poured from a machine? Again, with 100 stores and candles being made en masse, all that matters is precision. Great candles must use high quality wax, high quality oils and fragrances, and high quality wicks centered on their bases. This is marketing gobbledygook and Diptyque knows it. It gets worse. Sure enough, in 2005, Diptyque was bought by... you guessed it... a private equity firm, Manzanita Capital. Their CEO, William S. Fisher's worth is $1.85 billion. He worked at the Gap and he's a hedge fund manager. It's Fisher's job to maximize profits at all costs, definitely not what I would associate with an artisanal, high quality candlemaker. There are salaries to be paid. I'm not talking about the pittance that Diptyque's staff are paid, though they're the heart of the company and should be well compensated. The real money is made at the top of the food chain. It explains why Diptyque's candles cost $80 and if you want to buy a lid for the candle, that's an extra $30 - $60 for a cheap piece of... whatever. If you're not careful, you can spend up to $140 for a 190g paraffin wax candle. Like I said, highway robbery. Diptique is no longer a French candle company. They are owned by a London-based conglomerate. Diptyque's gorgeous looking products and their extraordinary history keeps them from being a 1-star company, but their candles suck purple Twinkies. There are many better alternatives at all price points. Here are a few high-end candlemakers that use quality ingredients: Cire Trudon, Mad et Len, Maitre Gantier, Christian Tortu, Le Labo, & Carrière Frères ...and many come with lids.
Haven't heard of alot of these candles. Most of them are probably pretty expensive and smaller companies on east coast (some of them). I do candle reviews on youtube but I pay for most of my candles out of pocket so hard to review expensive ones. Would like to try sone of these tho....I'm intrigued.😊
I used to love their Basil candle till they discontinued it. Fast forward a couple of years and Diptyque comes out with the Droguerie candle that smells the same (not as good, IMO) and claims to clear kitchen smells (it doesn't).

Let me know your top favorite brands for my next ranking! :)
Most candle brands I adored made the list, except for Antica Farmacista. They're simply divine
One of my favorite brands that is equal to the quality of Cire Trudon is Astier De Villatte. Hope you can make a review of this brand.
Hello, from Australia! Please educate us about MESTIGE Candles with hidden jewels..
What are your thoughts?
My favourite brand is Rachel Vosper based in London bespoke handmade candles
how the hell is dragon pussy by decent candles not here?
here's some of their other candles:
Angry stepdad, creepy neighbor, butt slut, and one I'm sure at least one person in this comment thread will like, pumpkin fucker.
Would be very helpful to have the names displayed on the screen for those of us that want to explore other brands. Otherwise, great video!

Hero tier
Evermore "Moon" was the other one.
“From Extraordinary to Bath and Body Works.” You went there! 🤣🤣 Love that you did a candle ranking. What a great idea! Screenshot and saved the final results. Perfection!
All in good fun! 😅😂
Would love if you listed the brands and the categories. For us newbies 🙈

I'm not even lying, I came here and I'm suffering from anxiety right now, and 10 seconds in and your energy is already helping because you seem really chill and down to earth.
Which brand has the absolute strongest throw? I like a scent that is super strong!
Yes! That would be interesting
Was kinda hoping to know where you placed the common ones like Bath and Body works and Yankee and such
Why? you know theyre trash
@@achnix3167 Just to know his opinion on where they stand
@@Thee_Jadex sure... I guess advice on which scents are better than others could be interesting to some.

I love pink sands Yankee Candles
How do you only have 7k subscribers! You have excellent quality content! Thanks for this video :)
The bath & body works and the camera stare . I cried laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank u for the rankings. Yet again another amazing video!
Yes plz do brand specific scents. New to candles and don’t want to jump down the rabbit hole head first lol
I would love a video on your favorite online candle stores! Also a video on your favorite gourmands !
This was fun to watch. I primarily stick to Bath & Body works. I venture out when there are sales on other brands. But now I’m interested in your top shelf candles.
The best place for candles on a budget is tj maxx they have a lot of different brands
TH-cam just showed me this video and I love your style! Very informative and gets straight to what I need to know. New subscriber here!
Best candle reviewer! Thanks for the breakdown, I'ma order one of them harlems
Is there a list of brands written out? The transcript give phonetic information not the actual names. I kept searching for Sydney Hale candles and this popped up. I can't seem to discern all the various brands I'd like to try but I'm pretty sure Sydney Hale isn't in there. Anyway not sure if there is a list out there somewhere
Interesting!! I find NEST to be so extraordinary
agree, I have no idea what he's talking about
I'M OBSESSED WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!!!! amazing videos! love your content
Thank you so much!!!😊
I was really waiting for the ones that ranked Bath & Body Works! 🤣🤣. Great review none the less👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
😂😂😂 Thanks!! ❤
Not gonna lie i was waiting for a link to purchase or a list to the impressive and extraordinary candles.
Would you choose baobab before diptyque? Eyeing on a baobab. I have baies and tuberose and love both :)
Thank you for making this list! I appreciate a ‘short’ video (Version 1.0). Perhaps an extended’ Version 2.0 where you go a bit more in depth and name the scents you tried. Overall, super fun video! 👏

From the extraordinary tier, which is the most affordable?
I think with Voluspa, you'd enjoy the Maison Noir collection. That's the line I go to for home because of how clean, woodsy, and spicy it is.
Pls do a review about flamingo estate and homecourt candles, thanks!
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to create these informative videos. Although I prefer Gourmand and fruity scents, your insight into quality has truly helped me as I build a solid scent library for my apartment.

Thank you so much!! And im so happy you love Jungle Bloom! The Beach Club review is coming very soon 😊
You are an absolute treasure! I’m getting into candles and aromatherapy. Your videos are informative and amazing. @DetailedDream
Loved this!! Adding a couple to my shopping list 😂 - Curionoir looks fab! Which Mizensir have you tried? Definitely adding AMEN collection!
Thanks!! The Figuier is my fave from Mizensier, Jasmin de Chine is also a good one, and Sapin de Noel is great for the winter holiday season.
The ultimate offering of a warm and comforting scent is the Marron candle by Jovoy. It smells EXACTLY like a pan of warm milk on the stove with a sprinkling of spices, a tablespoon of chestnut puree and two tablespoons of sugar stirred in. When you want to feel cosy and you're wearing new pyjamas and reading a great book in bed, THIS is my best recommendation for a candle. It burns evenly with no tunnelling and there's no smoky, sulphurous puff of smoke when you blow it out-- instead you get a final cloud of the scent bursting into the room for one last hurrah. Really lovely and great value, comes in a frosted ruby red tumbler.

New to your channel but surprised NEST wasn’t mentioned as they are well known etc
If you can't afford to expensive brands or simply don't want to spend crazy money on candles, the only candle brand you will ever need to buy from is DW Home. You are welcome.

Great ranking video. I absolutely love Southern Elegance, particularly “Treehouse.” Today I’m burning “Sit a Spell.” I love that they include fragrance descriptions on the label. I was hoping Capri Blue’s “Volcano” would be included in your rating. Do you not care for it? For me, it’s a very strong favorite, right up there with my favorite Southern Elegance fragrances. Oh, and I need to decide which Dyptique candle I want to try.
Loving your content. I don’t think I’ve seen such a candle video on a mens channel. I really find a lot of mens channels very dry and they are either screaming at me or they dress with no personality. Keep up the good work ❤

I never thought much of candle brands until watching your video. NEST had a sale and I tried it. Wow. I don’t know what you think of that brand but I’ll never buy another Bath & Body Works candle. This one smells like quality comparatively. Thanks for your videos.
Love your attitude bro!
PLEASE DO BRAND SPECIFIC TIER LIST
I’d love to hear your take on candles and other room scents by Buly.
This brand looks very interesting. I will definitely look into it. Thank you!
It’s the second company by the people who turned Cire Trudon around. Very distinctive.
Can you do more on Curionoir? I’m obsessed with those candles (have about ten 😮) would love to see what you think of Cellar Feels and Orpheus Incarnate
can you do one with more affordable candles? :)
What was the work of art one? what did he say the name was Foreignecety? @ the 6:21 timestamp.
Baobab
Great ranking! There are many on your list I haven't yet tried, but definitely agree with your top picks.
As far as high end candles, I would also recommend to try some by Guerlaine, they are my new obsession, especially Encens D'Hiver and Epices Sous Les Etoiles.
Aqua di Parma apparently uses refined paraffin wax in their candles, Is this safe?
Have you tried "August and Piers"? A British brand I believe
Ive been seeing these around and been meaning to pick one up. How do you like them?

Better to pinch pennies at the factory and maximize profits. Sounds like something something an equity firm would do, not an artisanal French candlemaker.
It goes on. "Each candle is carefully prepared individually and hand poured to ensure that a qualified person can spot any problems and flaws." Does it matter if a candle is hand poured or poured from a machine? Again, with 100 stores and candles being made en masse, all that matters is precision. Great candles must use high quality wax, high quality oils and fragrances, and high quality wicks centered on their bases. This is marketing gobbledygook and Diptyque knows it.
It gets worse. Sure enough, in 2005, Diptyque was bought by... you guessed it... a private equity firm, Manzanita Capital. Their CEO, William S. Fisher's worth is $1.85 billion. He worked at the Gap and he's a hedge fund manager. It's Fisher's job to maximize profits at all costs, definitely not what I would associate with an artisanal, high quality candlemaker.
There are salaries to be paid. I'm not talking about the pittance that Diptyque's staff are paid, though they're the heart of the company and should be well compensated. The real money is made at the top of the food chain. It explains why Diptyque's candles cost $80 and if you want to buy a lid for the candle, that's an extra $30 - $60 for a cheap piece of... whatever. If you're not careful, you can spend up to $140 for a 190g paraffin wax candle. Like I said, highway robbery.
Diptique is no longer a French candle company. They are owned by a London-based conglomerate. Diptyque's gorgeous looking products and their extraordinary history keeps them from being a 1-star company, but their candles suck purple Twinkies.
There are many better alternatives at all price points. Here are a few high-end candlemakers that use quality ingredients:
Cire Trudon, Mad et Len, Maitre Gantier, Christian Tortu, Le Labo, & Carrière Frères
...and many come with lids.
Please explain why you wouldn’t buy Diptyque’s candles? 🙏🙏🙏 I’m about to buy one and then I saw your video.
great description! ❤
Haven't heard of alot of these candles. Most of them are probably pretty expensive and smaller companies on east coast (some of them). I do candle reviews on youtube but I pay for most of my candles out of pocket so hard to review expensive ones. Would like to try sone of these tho....I'm intrigued.😊
Wow. You nailed it. Following. ❤
can you review maison louise marie?
I loved this, it was so much fun to watch. I’m obsessed with Fornasetti, I just wish they did more scents!
Bath and body works has the best candles honestly i tried everything never thought the cheapest ones would be way better !!
I used to love their Basil candle till they discontinued it. Fast forward a couple of years and Diptyque comes out with the Droguerie candle that smells the same (not as good, IMO) and claims to clear kitchen smells (it doesn't).
Lol! When I realized I KNOW NUTHIN about candles...THANKS FOR ENLIGHTENING ME💥🎯❤
