Some candles have scents that last only a little while after lit, and others are scented until the candle is literally burned out.

It is hard to tell….I light up a few at the time. Just seem that your sense of smell can’t tell the difference after a while.

It depends. Usually you get what you pay for, if it’s from the Dollar Store it’s prob not going to smell as good or last as long. Suprisingly I got a 5 dollar candle from walmart that made the house smell great quickly and lasted forever but it burned quicker then a more expensive candle might have. I really like Yankee Candle, a little pricer but the payoff scentwise and lasting power are worth it.

I would try several brands and then stick with ones that you know typically make good ones. I prefer the vegetable wax candles to paraffin wax because they burn so clean and my favorite brand is Mia Bella.
