Vanilla candles use a variety of wax bases depending on style and maker: blends of palm oil and paraffin, soy and coconut blends, pure paraffin or palm wax, and other general wax formulations.
Reviewers commonly describe vanilla fragrances as pleasant and appealing. Intensity varies by product and formulation, ranging from warm and strong to mild and subtle.
Listings include single-wick and multi-wick options (three-wick examples appear). At least one product listing explicitly references a wooden wick.
