Is this the same as the New York City candle?

No. Homesick sells both. New York is the state scent, built on apple and autumn spice; New York City is a separate citrus and jasmine accord. This page describes the state candle.

Why is the burn time given as 60 hours?

Homesick states a range of 60 to 80 hours. We use the bottom of a stated range throughout the site, so a cost-per-hour figure is never flattered by the most optimistic number a maker publishes.

[ Not shown ] is a figure we hold and are withholding. Not observed is one nobody here has recorded. Hover or focus either for the reason.

Burn hours are as stated by each maker, never measured by us. Where a shop publishes a different figure we record both and say so. “Not observed” means nobody here has ever recorded a price for that row. “Not shown” means we hold one and are withholding it, because its source page or its pricing basis was never recorded, and a sale price set against a list price produces a wrong answer from correct arithmetic. The reasons per row: Homesick New York — Price not shown — source not recorded; Pinon — Price not shown — basis not established; Havana Vanilla — Price not shown — basis not established; Sunday Morning — Price not shown — basis not established.

The matches

How close each one gets

Pinon
P.F. Candle Co
Cinnamon and vanilla under pine and amber. It shares the warm spice and adds a conifer the original does not have.
Where to buy
Havana Vanilla
Capri Blue
Vanilla over smoky tobacco and sandalwood. The sweet-and-dry balance is similar; the apple and clove are absent.
Where to buy
Sunday Morning
Brooklyn Candle Studio
Pear and bergamot over jasmine on amber woods. Orchard fruit rather than baked spice, and a lighter reading of the same season.
