Bring a Touch of Warmth to Your Home with Old Factory Candles #oldfactory

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. 


When the temperatures drop, the wind is whipping, and daylight fades sooner, I love to add a touch of warmth and light to my home by lighting candles. There's just something soothing about the glow of a candle, and comforting scents always calm and relax me. I am always on the hunt for premium candles that give off a hearty scent and burn for long periods of time, so when I came across Old Factory Candles, I knew they had exactly what I was looking for.

Old Factory Candle

Old Factory Candles are made with natural soy wax, which I prefer over regular wax candles because they burn clean, even, and don't emit a ton of smoke into the home. The self-trimming cotton wick lights quickly, and since it is self-trimming, I don't have to hunt down clippers each time I light them.

The candles come in a set of 3 2 ounce jars, which burn for 20 hours! You'll get 3 different scents in each set, which are all matched perfectly to compliment each other. There were many options to choose from, but even with snow on the ground now, I am still longing for the crisp scents of fall, so I chose Fall Harvest.

Old Factory Candle

The Fall Harvest set comes with delicious scents of Pumpkin Spice, Cranberry, and Autumn Leaves. As soon as I took the lids off the jars, the scents just poured out. I do have an open concept home, so the candles do not give as much scent as I would like, but it is recommended to burn 2 of the candles in open concept spaces to get desired fragrance through those areas. I do need to burn 2 in my living room, however, when I light them in my bedroom and bathroom, the scent is amazing with just 1.

In addition to the Fall Harvest, they have an incredible lineup of other yummy scents:

Fresh & Clean               Man Cave
• Lemongrass                  • Straight Razor
• Olive Blossom              • Leather
• Fresh Linen                   • Mahogany         

 Coffee Shop                  New Born Baby
• Coffee Bean                  • Baby Powder
• Hazelnut                        • Baby Shampoo
• Chai Tea                        • First Blanket

High As A Kite               Winter Wonderland
• Cannabis                        • Hot Cocoa
• Incense                           • Roasted Chestnut
• Bag O' Cookies              • First Snow

Happy Holidays               Vacation
• Christmas Tree               • Sea Breeze
• Candy Cane                    • Hawaiian Lei
• Gingerbread                    • Awapuhi

Spa Day                            50 Shades           
• Cucumber                       • Leather
• Lemongrass                    • Jasmine Bubbles
• Green Tean                     • Vanilla Sex

                       Romance
                       • Rose Petals
                       • Champagne
                       • Dark Chocolate

Each candle is hand poured, and what I really like is that they are a USA made product. The jars are modern, and can go with any room decor. Customer service is fabulous too, with a 100% no-hassle refund if you are not fully satisfied with your purchase!

As much as I like to receive candles as gifts, I like to give them too, and Old Factory Candle sets make the perfect holiday gift. You can purchase a set for gifting, or pick up one for yourself through Amazon.
