What the AI looks for in Votive Candles
- Holder required
- Votives melt into a pool of wax and must burn in a holder. Without one, the wax spills and the flame floods.
- Holder fit
- Use a holder just slightly larger than the votive. A snug fit lets the wax pool around the wick, giving a full burn.
- Unscented vs scented
- Unscented for dining tables. Scented works for small rooms. Scent at nose level competes with food.
Brands that matter
- Bluecorn Beeswax: Beeswax votives.
- Yankee Candle: Scented Samplers votives.
- Root Candles: Unscented votives.
What to avoid
- Burning votives without a holder
- Holders much wider than the votive, which leave unburned wax
