Billing itself as \u201cThe Candle for People Who Know Candles\u201d, Circle E Candles<\/a> come with over a decade of time-tested and acclaimed scents.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s candles are distinguished by the square-shaped candle holders emblazoned with the appropriately circular company logo. These candleholders are also available in metal, depicting a beautiful attention-grabbing design that uses stars, flowers, or crosses.<\/p>\n [content-egg module=Amazon template=custom\/grid3 hide=price]<\/p>\n The company\u2019s products are available in over thirty acclaimed scents like cherry vanilla, the favorite bird of paradise, and peach harvest, all found within eight categories, providing plenty of varieties.<\/p>\n Circle E<\/a> explains how its candles undergo a painstaking process in their creation and, considering the glowing reviews, the end results clearly justify that the company\u2019s candle making processes make them quality, appealing products.<\/p>\n What the company doesn\u2019t go into too much detail about is one of the essential ingredients that goes into a traditional candle: the wax. Aside from specifying that it\u2019s high quality, there is no mention of whether it\u2019s paraffin or safer alternatives like beeswax or organic soy wax, the latter used by companies like Koji.<\/p>\n Where Circle E shines is in the incredibly long burn times for its candles, usually outperforming its competitors that cater to a broad target audience. A 28 ounce, double wick Circle E candle that costs less than thirty dollars can burn for up to a whopping 155 hours, an amount of time that\u2019s typically found in much more expensive candle brands like Diptyque and Jo Malone. Even smaller sizes provide a considerable value, with burn times of over seventy hours yet costing less than twenty dollars.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find many different Circle E candle<\/a> products to choose from, that go beyond its signature square-shaped jar candles to candle cookie jars, bow boxes, votive candles and even a margarita glass candle. The company also offers an uncommonly broad array of candle accessories, from various candles holders to a keychain and Christmas sleigh.<\/p>\n Unless you live in Fredericksburg, Texas where the Circle E Candles<\/a> showroom is located, you may need to find a specialty candle store or someone who is a Circle E enthusiast if you\u2019d like to see and experience the scents for yourself prior to purchase. Though the scents have consistently been well-reviewed, not being able to buy Circle E at your local department store is a major drawback.<\/p>\n When it comes to burn times, the Circle E candles<\/a> are practically unrivaled. Unless you\u2019re purchasing a candle from pricier brands like Jo Malone, Circle E\u2019s candles cater to a broader range of buyers and provide uncommonly long burn times, ensuring you\u2019re receiving the biggest bang for your buck both in the length of time these candles can burn and the strong scents.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Circle E candles are held back by the company\u2019s limitations. You won\u2019t find its products in major stores, meaning you can\u2019t determine whether a scent appeals to you before buying it as you would by visiting a store.<\/p>\n The company also says it uses \u201chigh quality\u201d wax, but seemingly stops short of explaining exactly what type of wax that is, at least on their website. With more people focusing on clean burning candles, this may be of concern if you want to make sure you\u2019re using a candle that\u2019s safe and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n For purposes of this review, we\u2019ll focus on the Circle E standard jar candles and votive candles in order to provide a better comparison with other brands selling these product types:<\/p>\n The burn rates for these three Circle E Candles are as follows:<\/p>\n As previously stated, Circle E Candles<\/a> features over thirty unique scents to choose from that belong to one of its eight types:<\/p>\nThe Good<\/h2>\n
