Are you unable to resist smelling every candle within your reach? Is there a candle in every room of your home? Does the Bath & Body Works ‘Candle Day’ call your name every year and you’re willing to wait in line for it? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be addicted to candles. 

If you’re a candle addict, there’s no denying the fact that you are familiar with the VOLUSPA family of candles. From warm vanilla or peppermint in the winter to the summery scents of tarocco orange, the VOLUSPA brand does candle-making right. It’s the Bentley of the candle world (except for this candle which is actually made by Bentley) and to have one in your home is a testament of your love for the finer things. 

But what some of you candle-lovers might not be aware of is VOLUSPA’s massive 5-Wick Candle. Weighing in at a whopping 123 ounces (~8lbs) and boasting a 250 hour burn time, this larger-than-life candle costs $215 and is arguably worth every cent. 

Home Decor Tip: The VOLUSPA 5-Wick can be the focal point of a space. Consider a candle as a home decor centerpiece in your entertainment space or common area.

Speaking from the experience of owning three of the 5-wick candles, one of which is still plenty full after a year, the burn time of 250 hours really seems like an understatement. Unless you’re burning candles every single day and this is your only candle, the VOLUSPA 5-Wick Candle really seems like it can last well beyond 12-months and 250 collective hours. Compared to some of the smaller one or three-wick candles you might get elsewhere, a year is a long time to own a single candle.

Coupling the fact that the burn time and ownership period of these candles extends beyond a year (for us anyway), they are also an immediate conversation starter. Most people have never seen a 5-Wick candle, let alone come across someone that has one in their home, so it’s a no-brainer that the VOLUSPA’s sheer size will grab immediate attention. The first question is always, ‘Is that a candle?’ to which you can answer with a proud ‘YES’. 

This massive candle is undeniably expensive and isn’t for everyone, but if you are a true candle addict with every scent under the sun, maybe it’s time to expand your collection. Our personal favorite is the Goji Toracco Orange which comes in a luxurious red container, perfect as a year-round scent and home decor staple. There are however plenty of other options including fig, lavender, peppermint, and other unique seasonal scents for your home. Ready to indulge your senses?
