Swan Creek candles eschew the upscale look of brands like Diptyque in favor of a look that can fit nicely in any home. In addition to candles, the company also sells fragrance oils and something called \u201cmelts\u201d that function similarly to candles that have multiple layers of differing scents. Most, if not all of the products sold by Swan Creek use soybean wax, an increasingly popular and safer alternative used by companies like Koji Candles that use organic soy wax.<\/p>\n

A distinctive feature of Swan Creek is the candle holders, referred to as jars. You\u2019ll find glass jars in several different sizes and even special occasion jars for holidays like Halloween or with messages like \u201cHappy Birthday to you\u201d and \u201cbest wishes\u201d. Each of these candles are available in six different scents that include names like pumpkin vanilla, gingerbread, and sweet cinnamon cream. Interestingly, many of the jars are designed to be reusable, and the company sells containers of candle refill wax for this very purpose.<\/p>\n

Speaking of scents, Swan Creek candles provide a vast collection of different ones to choose from. Perusing the clean and contemporary jar collection, for example, you\u2019ll find over twenty different scents available for purchase. A quick Google search will show plenty of buyers praising how nice the company\u2019s candles. Regardless of which scent you choose, each one costs the same as the prices are based on the sizes and style of the candle you\u2019re interested in purchasing. You should also know that some candles like those that come in the Southern Charm Jars have less than stellar burn times.<\/p>\n

The problem with having so many scents available is that Swan Creek does not provide an easy means of actually smelling them. The company\u2019s products are primarily sold via their website so you\u2019ll have to go by reviews and whatever scents generally appeal to you if you\u2019re considering buying one unless you live in or near one of the five cities where the company has an outlet store. Keep in mind that if you do buy one, you may not get the attractive jar that caught your eye since the company reserves the right to swap it out for something similar if it happens to be out of stock. However, you do have the option of choosing not to accept this should such a situation arise.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re okay with not being able to smell what you\u2019re buying, or have the time to try and find Swan Creek candles in a store, they might be worth your time. Unlike other brands, you\u2019ll find information on wholesale purchases right on the company website.<\/p>\n
