Scent is deeply personal. What one person considers magical can stir a completely different feeling in another. However, our customers agree that our most popular scented candles capture something special. These candles don’t just smell nice. They bring a unique vibe into any space they’re added to.

Here’s why our best sellers are loved by so many and why they may become your favorites too:

  • Toxin-free: Our candles are made using phthalate-free natural fragrance oils, which are gentle for you and your pets.
  • Sustainably packaged: We use recyclable glass and biodegradable packaging materials to ensure our best-selling scented candles have minimal impact on the environment.
  • The scents tell a story: From holiday mornings scented with citrus and spice to summer afternoons filled with wild blooms and mountain air, there’s a candle for any mood you want to bring home at Virgin River Naturals.

Meet Our Customers' Favorite Candle Smells

These are our best selling scented candles that have earned a place in homes, hearts, and daily routines:

  • Cactus Flower: Cactus Flower blends sweet, succulent notes of agave, aloe, and green florals, capturing the refreshing magic that desert rains bring.
  • Canyonlands: Canyonlands combines soft sandalwood and amber, transporting you to a quiet, sun-warmed log overlooking the river at the heart of the canyon.
  • High Desert: High Desert blends the clean, dry notes of juniper, sage, and cedar with the smoky warmth of tobacco and leather. If you prefer scents that echo the wild beauty of open country, this is it!
  • Sunshine: As its name suggests, Sunshine radiates warmth and brightness with its sweet notes of citrus, peach, and very creamy vanilla.
  • Oudwood + Teak: This candle is made for anyone who appreciates rich, layered scents. Oudwood + Teak pairs subtle oud musk with cedarwood, balsam, and a touch of amaretto and rum for a smooth, woody aroma.
  • Blue Agave: It’s not hard to see why this candle is among our most popular scented candles. With soft floral notes and a green, musky aloe base, Blue Agave feels like a gentle breeze across the desert after rain.
  • Blue Spruce: This candle smells like a fresh forest. Picture walking through an alpine forest, breathing in notes of eucalyptus, fir, and moss with a hint of cedar, cinnamon, and amber? That’s Blue Spruce for you.
  • Sweet Fig: If cozy had a scent, it might be Sweet Fig. This candle is a mix of ripe fig, dark currants, honey, and ginger that feels like biting into a warm, jammy pastry.

How To Find Your Favorite Candles

If it’s your first time exploring our most popular scented candles, you’re probably spoilt for choice (poor thing!). Luckily, we have some tips you can use to choose the right one for your needs.

Think About the Mood You Want to Create

If you’re looking for something calm and grounding, Oudwood + Teak or High Desert are excellent choices because they have warm, woody notes. However, if you prefer scents that feel fresh and bright, Sunshine or Blue Agave won’t disappoint.

Consider Where You’ll Burn It

Scents with richer blends like Canyonlands or Blue Spruce are perfect for living rooms or cozy evenings, while lighter, clean scents like Cactus Flower or Sweet Fig work beautifully in bedrooms and bathrooms.

Follow Your Scent Personality

If you love natural, outdoorsy fragrances, go for Blue Spruce or High Desert. However, if you tend to lean toward soft, sweet aromas, Sweet Fig or Sunshine may become your favorites.

Don't Be Afraid to Experiment
