At BEALUSCIOUS, we are often asked about the differences between single wick and three wick candles. In this blog post, we'll dive into the unique properties and benefits of each style, helping you choose the perfect candles to elevate your home's ambiance.
The Allure of Single Wick Candles
Single wick candles are a timeless classic, offering a simple and elegant aesthetic that complements a wide range of home decor styles. These candles are renowned for their clean, focused flame that creates a mesmerizing and soothing glow. Their single wick design allows for a more controlled and even burn, ensuring a consistent fragrance distribution throughout the entire candle's lifespan.
One of the key advantages of single wick candles is their efficiency. Because the flame is concentrated on a single point, single wick candles tend to have a longer burn time compared to their three wick counterparts. This makes them an excellent choice for smaller spaces or areas where you want to enjoy the fragrance without overwhelming the room.
Additionally, single wick candles are often seen as more elegant and sophisticated, making them a popular choice for formal settings, romantic ambiances, or areas where you want to create a calming and serene atmosphere.
The Allure of Three Wick Candles
In contrast, three wick candles offer a more dramatic and impactful presence in a room. With three flames burning simultaneously, these candles create a captivating and mesmerizing display that can instantly transform the mood of a space.
The multiple wicks in three wick candles also contribute to a faster and more even melting of the wax, resulting in a quicker and more robust fragrance throw. This makes three wick candles an excellent choice for larger rooms or open-plan spaces where you want to fill the air with your desired scent.
Moreover, three wick candles can also be seen as a more luxurious and indulgent option, adding a touch of grandeur to any setting. Their larger size and striking visual appeal make them a popular choice for special occasions, high-end homes, or areas where you want to create a sense of opulence and sophistication.
Choosing the Right Candle for Your Needs
When selecting between single wick and three wick candles from your BEALUSCIOUS home fragrance collection, consider the following factors:
- Room Size: Single wick candles, such as Cape Island's 100ml mini votive and the 250ml classic size candles, are best suited for smaller spaces, while three wick candles shine in larger rooms or open-plan areas.
- Fragrance Intensity: If you want a stronger, more pervasive scent, three wick candles such as Cape Island's 500ml grand size candles will provide a more powerful fragrance throw. Single wick candles may be better for more subtle, delicate fragrances.
- Burn Time: Single wick candles tend to have a longer burn time, making them a more economical choice for long-term use. Our classic size candle (250ml) offers a burn time of 35 hours, while our votive candle (mini candle - 100ml) provides 12 hours of burn time. In comparison, our grand size candles (large candle - 500ml) are three-wicked and provide approximately 55 hours of enjoyment.
- Aesthetic Preference: Single wick candles offer a more classic and refined look, while three wick candles create a more dramatic and luxurious visual effect.
Ultimately, the choice between single wick and three wick candles comes down to your personal preferences, the specific needs of your space, and the desired ambiance you want to create. BEALUSCIOUS offers a wide range of both single wick and three wick candles, allowing you to mix and match to find the perfect combination for your home.

Decorating your home with candles
Single-wick candles - such as votive and classic sizes (between 100ml - 250ml) - are perfect for creating accent lighting in smaller areas and more intimate spaces.
Clustering small and medium-sized candles creates a luminous display that elevates your space with an elegant and inviting ambiance. Arranging a carefully curated row of three to five candles of the same size on a dining table or along a window sill introduces a sense of tranquil sophistication and visual harmony.
Three-wick candles, on the other hand, look stunning as stand-alone pieces, placed on mantels, oversized coffee tables as centerpieces, and on buffet tables.
Pairing one three-wick candle with two single-wick candles in complementary scents can also help create visual balance.
