Many of the top candle manufacturers have fascinating histories stemming from beginnings as humble as tinkering with waxes and scents at home. And if you've ever tried to make your own candles, you know this can be fun, yet difficult finding those perfect ingredients.

Here we aim to provide you with information on the companies that have mastered the art of candlemaking. Our favorites for highly scented candles are Trapp, Votivo, and Ergo, and we still like popular favorites like Yankee and Illuminations.

Yankee Candles has always been a popular pick with most everyone, and it's no wonder, with over 190 fragrances and growing. It has grown from its humble beginnings in South Hadley, Massachusetts - where then teenager Mike Kittredge made his first candle with melted crayons as a Christmas gift for his mother - to the leading designer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer of premium scented candles. They're even listed on the New York Stock exchange under YCC.

Illuminations is another popular one, they feature highly scented as well as high quality fragranced candles in a delicious variety of fragrances. If you're shopping for certain fragrances, you're sure to find something pleasing here, be it a fruity scent, a baked good, floral scent, or aromatherapy. They use only the finest ingredients, making their candles out of a soft, extremely high quality vegetable based paraffin wax. They also have some of the most masterfully crafted candle holders, lanterns, and other accessories on the market.
