Joanna Gaines' Favorite Candle To Keep Your Home Smelling Fresh

When it comes to adding a sense of warmth your home, there are few options that are more effective than a great candle. If you're looking for the ideal scent to make a room complete, you can't go wrong with America's beloved home decorator and "Fixer Upper" star Joanna Gaines' favorite candle. The Magnolia Linen Candle, previously named Joanna's Signature Candle, blends the smells of lemon lime, cotton, and jasmine into a delightful, room-filling aroma that is a crowd-pleaser for many individuals. One buyer proclaimed (via Magnolia), "This candle never disappoints, it fills a room of any size and gives a clean feel."

While the Linen Candle isn't the cheapest, $30 for the 9-ounce candle and $58 for the 26-ounce, it's crafted with thoughtful ingredients, such as a lead-free cotton wick and food-grade, soy-blend wax that is formulated without phthalates. It's also made in the U.S. for consumers who like to purchase domestically produced products. With proper maintenance, you can make your favorite candle last longer — up to 50 hours with the 9-ounce candle or up to 110 hours from the 26-ounce size — which may make the purchase more feasible for the frugal individual.

It's hard to find a near-perfect review record for a product, but Joanna Gaines' favorite candle is one of those rare items. Having collected approximately 530 reviews, the Magnolia Linen Candle has a 4.8-star average. Customers describe it as being the best scent to have in your dining room or any room in the home, albeit many reviews mention the high-end price tag and the aroma may be too subtle for some. 

One reviewer wrote (via Magnolia), "Worth the money! This candle not only smells so good but it burns well and makes the house smell so fresh!" Another praised the subtlety of the scent, "Love the smell — it's so clean and fresh without being overpowering." Yet another summed up their feedback nicely, "Love these candles! Uniques scents. Burn well and evenly. Worth the price."

In order to get the most burn time, and therefore value, out of your Linen candle, you'll want to keep on top of its care instructions. These include trimming your wick (preferably upside down over a trash can) to ¼ inch in height, so as to promote even burning of the candle's wax. And, never exceed burning the candle for more than three hours at a time. Carbon can build up on the wick after this length of time, and the flame can get too high to safely use. While no candle is truly perfect, we wouldn't dream of disagreeing with Gaines when it comes to picking a favorite.
