[ 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: Voluspa Baltic Amber — Price not observed; Palo Santo — Price not shown — basis not established; Coconut Santal — Price not shown — basis not established; Sunday Morning — Price not shown — basis not established.

How close each one gets

  • Palo Santo

    Brooklyn Candle Studio

    Sandalwood and amber under cedar and mint. The same warm resinous base, with a cooler top than the original's vanilla orchid.

    Where to buy

  • Coconut Santal

    Capri Blue

    Sandalwood and warm amber under coconut. A much larger vessel with a far longer stated burn, so it is the cheapest amber per hour we verified.

    Where to buy

  • Sunday Morning

    Brooklyn Candle Studio

    Amber woods under pear and white florals. Softer and fruitier, and the amber sits behind the flowers rather than in front.

Questions

What people ask about this scent

Which Baltic Amber size does this page describe?
The 9 oz classic single-wick jar, which Voluspa states at around 60 hours. The 18 oz jar and the multi-wick hearth candles carry different stated burn times, so mixing them into one comparison would make the cost-per-hour figure meaningless.
