Looking for a Bath & Body Works candle alternative?
If you like Bath & Body Works’ Fresh Balsam 3-Wick Candle, our Fresh Balsam is the closest match we make: fir, balsam and cedar. Their candle costs less per ounce of wax; ours comes in a tall glass jar with a longer estimated burn. Here are both, side by side.

When we checked, Bath & Body Works was running “Buy 1, get 1 free on candles”. Offers like that change often, so the table uses list prices. Check both stores for current offers.
Sources: their product page, their shipping rates, their return policy, and our shipping and replacement policy. We have not run a side-by-side scent or burn test.
