Aldi's New Wood-Wick Candles Are Perfect for Creating a Calming Space
Smell is one of the main senses we have that connects us to our mood, memory and perceiving our environment.
Which means having air fresheners, candles, or wall plug-ins can be vital to feeling comfortable and cozy within your own space.
Next week, Aldi is bringing back wood wick candles with mindful, calming scents that will make your home feel spa-like. Each of the four scents is slightly different, but all give the same earthy, natural vibe that makes your home feel like an upscale cabin or a glamping spa tent retreat.
Plus, each candle costs $5-a true steal considering the wooden wick and pretty glass container.
Kirkton House Amber Glass Candle, Herbal Oasis, $4.99 at Aldi
Each of these candles is eight ounces and comes in a pretty amber glass that could easily be reused.
One of the best parts of these candles is that they come with a wood wick candle, which not only makes a pretty crackle sound when lit, but they're also better for your health. They burn cleaner, with less soot and tend to burn more slowly, making the scent more pronounced and allowing the candle to last longer.

The Kirkton House candles come in the following scents:
- Herbal Oasis, a woodsy smell of pine, fir and balsam.
- Soak, an herbal, woodsy smell of rosemary and pine.
- Whispering Dreams, a floral scent of rose, violet and lavender.
- Mind & Soul, a fruity smell of mandarin and green leaves.
While all the scents are on the earthy side, each is slightly different to suit your preferences. If you're more into a sweet, bakery scent, these may not be the drop for you, but if you're into clean, more natural smells, these candles are perfect for you and your space.
Plus, if you like more than one of the scents, they all look visually cohesive and would likely smell good together, making them perfect to place in multiple areas of your home.
Whether you've been on the hunt for a cleaner candle to burn or want a new, fresh scent for summer that isn't citrusy or overly sweet, these candles will be an amazing buy that won't break the bank.
