Milkhouse Candle CompanyMLK-Fireside-Butter-22 Candles, 22 oz

As a candle enthusiast myself, I'm always in the market for whatever burns the brightest, exudes the greatest smell, and lasts the longest. It's getting harder and harder to find better options, so I thought I'd give these quaint-looking "butter jar" candles a try. I hadn't heard of soy-based candles or their supposed superiority to paraffin wax before. I found myself intrigued, and as it turns out, everything I read about them is correct. Not only that, but these little beauties in particular are of considerable high quality.Starting with the scent, it is not only really pleasant, very true to 'Apple Strudel' by smelling of caramelized apples, but also strong and long-lasting. The only caveat I can add to the latter part is that if you burn it as frequently as I do, you are likely to get used to the smell. This is NOT major, however, and I still have the nicest smelling room in the house. I will say the strength only goes from strong at first and mellows out over time. It will linger a good bit after you've quit burning, which only serves to improve the overall value even more by not actually needing it lit to enjoy the continuing aromatic effect.With regards to the burn time, I had been incredibly skeptical of their claim that this candle burns for an "unsurpassed 120+ hours". Well, I decided to record when and for how long I burned the candle each session, and I've recently made it to the 56 hour mark. This is already more than many paraffin wax candles you might buy, and the level of wax is just barely about the halfway point. It's looking quite likely this candle will last in the upwards of triple-digits, so this is a massive victory for the candle and further strengthens the credibility of the product.As for looks and construction, this candle is incredibly cute. I'm not sure I'd ever have thought to devise a candle shaped like a butter jar, but some creative minds managed to make it look fantastic. The material itself, both the glass and handle, are very nice and not at all cheap feeling. And yes, there is a handle, and it also has a hook in the middle which makes it perfect for hanging like a lantern should you have a place for it. I can honestly think of many uses for this jar after all the wax is used up, so even after being completely spent, the candle continues to be useful!Anyway, I've written a pretty length review for a candle. I can only hope this conveys to you how utterly incredible they are and how much having owned and burned it has improved my living space. If you're in the market for a sweet smelling, long-lasting, and high value candle, do yourself a favor and give this one a try. After experiencing several different brands and types of candles of various different price points, I can safely say that these Milkhouse Creamery candles are the absolute best ones currently on the market.

Ok .... I bought the small one in Sticky Bun scent. It was amazing. It made my whole house smell like a bakery. My husband and I both fell in love with this candle. HOWEVER... when we decided we couldn’t live without our house smelling like sticky buns we ordered the large candle. Could only buy 1 and had to wait. That’s ok. We knew it would be worth it.WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!!!!!!The large candle has NO SMELL AT ALL. NOTHING. I’m not sure what happened, maybe they forgot to put the oil in it. We are so glad we could only buy 1 large candle. I will never forget how amazing the first one was, but will never order again due to the lack of consistency in their product. If you decide to try your luck, I hope it’s a good one.

I recently discovered Milkhouse Candles and am in love with the brand and the way this company makes their products safe and clean. We don't need any more chemicals in our lives and this brand recognizes that. I love that this candle is large and lasts a long time. Also that it comes in a farmhouse style glass jar with a black holder. Really cool and giftable. My only complaint is the scent of this one. It smells divine when not lit but once lit, the smell is odd and kind of cleaner-ish?! Anyways, I wouldn't buy this scent again but I would definitely try a different scent. Just bummed I spent so much money on this and the scent wasn't so great 😭

This is a VERY STRONG FLOWERY candle, but it works on mosquitoes, which is a surprise because it is not a citronella or lemongrass. I have problems with mosquitos in the house and have been burning citronella and lemongrass candles which don't seem to be working and also seem to be bothering my lungs. I started burning this candle for fun and the mosquitos diminished down to almost zero. I still see an occasional one or two, but they don't attack me all day and night like they did before I got the candle. Can't recommend this enough if you don't mind strong wildflowers! It's wonderful.

I found these at a local antique store and fell in love with them but they didn't have the large size like these. Everyone that comes in our home loves these candles. I have actually made my own candles but spent the money for these because of the unique scent and wonderful jars.
