Scented candles are fundamental to creating a cozy home atmosphere. They lead you on adventures without even leaving your home, simply by scenting your room. Aroma lies at the heart of what makes a candle so comforting.
At Mountain City Candles we believe that balancing scents is an artform, weighing the true, center, and backside perfume notes. Each component of a fragrance will tell a story through your scented candle, and we set out to tell very compelling stories.
All of our candles feature soy wax with no additives, phthalate free fragrances, and cotton wicks.
To help you find the right scent for you, we've gathered our favorite candles to help you choose the best candle for your home.

In this blog, I'm going to tell you the truth about candles. There's a lot of misinformation out there, so it's important that we get this right.
All candles are not created equal, and you can't tell the difference between a great candle and a crappy candle just by smell or price. Big box store candles are typically mass-produced and even though they may say "soy" on the label, it doesn't mean that they are only soy.
You’ll find no-nonsense candle facts in this blog. I research first and then form my own opinions. I’ll tell you the simple truth always because I'm just a small-town girl running a small business, and the truth is the only way a small business will thrive. And I love candles. I love making them, burning them, selling them, and helping others learn about them.
From one candle lover to another, please comment, share, and let me know how you feel about what you read here.
