Village Candle Warm Buttered Bread Large Glass Apothecary Jar, Scented Candle, 21.25 oz., Brown

Been really into burning lots of candles this winter to embrace the coziness of the season, after I stumbled on the Scottish idea of “coorie,” cousin to the more-viral Danish “hygge.” So I’ve bought a lot of candles, many sizes and many different brands - and Village Candle stands out as the best brand to me. The candles are big and last a really long time, honestly pretty affordable for how long they last and the fact that they are very good burning quality (unlike some other brands where the wax swallows the wick halfway down the candle and you have to try to dig it out). All the flavors I’ve gotten have been great too - but omg I’m obsessed with this buttery bread one haha! Have you ever eaten a buttered popcorn flavor jellybean? Basically like that. I love it. Also really love the maple butter and the pumpkin scarecrow! Really enjoyed some of the seasonal Christmas ones too for myself, plus this holiday I got some different flavors of the candles along with sweet treats for gifts and people loved them. I also really like that it’s a small company based in Maine. Five stars, please don’t ever go out of business you guys bc I really love these candles a lot!! <3

Hands down, this is the finest candle I've ever had the pleasure of owning! That irresistible, natural scent of freshly baking bread is simply my all-time favorite aroma, and since I'm not a baker by trade or hobby, I'd always felt completely stumped about how to bring that comforting fragrance into my home. I remember last year, I stumbled upon a vanilla-pretzel candle from a different brand, and I absolutely fell in love with it, but unfortunately, it's been discontinued, leaving me heartbroken, therefore, I was absolutely THRILLED when I discovered this candle; it truly, and I mean truly, captures the essence of baking bread! Honestly, anyone who claims otherwise clearly has some serious olfactory issues! The moment I light this candle, it instantly transforms my entire house into the coziest, most inviting space imaginable. The scent projection/throw is absolutely phenomenal – it fills the entire room with that warm, comforting aroma. Beyond the incredible fragrance, it also burns remarkably slowly and cleanly, without leaving any unsightly wax residue on the sides of the jar. There's absolutely no wasted wax, which means this candle provides an incredibly long-lasting and delightful experience. You most definitely get a tremendous amount of value for your money with this candle – it's an investment in pure, unadulterated happiness and coziness.

At Disney world in Epcot, in the France pavilion there’s the Remi’s adventure ride. During the ride when you go into the ‘oven’ you can smell bread (croissants) baking and I said to my friend ‘this smell needs to be a candle.’ Well this is it! I loved the French baguette candle from B&BW that was discontinued 3-4 years ago. This is the closest I’ve come to it yet. I will repurchase. This candle has great fragrance and smells up a room without much burn time. Great price for how long I’ll get to enjoy it.

This candle amazed me. The unlit scent was subtle but when burning it threw toasty warm buttered bread smell all through the kitchen. Delicious, and mouth-watering! It would have been a great addition to a larger open kitchen or breakfast area. We didn't keep it because the smell was so strong in our Asia apartment, but if I'd have been in Canada it would be perfect for breakfast mornings with toast and coffee. I've rated it 4 stars on giftable because it's quite intense and that might not be everyone's cup of tea. I think this would be a gorgeous smell to combine in a coffee shop. Makes me think of cosy cafe bakeries.

French Baguette is one of my favorite scents of Bath&Body candles, however, it’s a retired scent so it’s only offered a few times a year and typically sells out fast. I’ve also been increasingly disappointed that B&B candles seem to burn for way less time than they used to, despite the increasing price tag. As such, I’ve been on a mission to find a similar scented candle to that one since it is such a unique scent and I’ve never really smelt anything else like it. To my surprise, I think this candle is a pretty good dupe for it. It’s not quite as strongly scented, but I tend to like very overpowering scents that fill up my whole home and recognize I am probably in a minority of people who feel this way (perfume/candles don’t give me headaches), so for most I would say this is probably perfectly scented. But as far as similarity to the B&B candle, the notes are very similar: it’s got that same semi-sweet, yeasty smell, nostalgic of sourdough bread baking in the oven — not overly sweet or too much vanilla. The candle is also about twice the size/burn time, for less than the B&B candle too. Love lighting this before friends come over and it smells like you’ve been cooking them a wonderful Italian meal. Will definitely be buying again.

This is one of my favorite candles. Bought in Aug 2025 for like $22. Now it’s $37. Kinda ridiculous the price gouging but it is a good candle.

This candle literally smells like warm bread with butter it is so weird but it makes your entire room smell like a warm bakery and i didn’t expect it to be this good but i just ordered two more to have when fall and winter come around it smells amazing

Amazon box arrived intact but taping was applied loosely. Opened the box to find 4 individual boxes w/the company’s name on them, Village Candle, & a label with the type & scent of the candles. As I began to open each box, I saw shards of broken glass on the bottom of the Amazon shipping box. One of the 4 candles was completely broken/shattered in its individual box so much I just left it in its box. Pieces of glass already came out of its box & was on the bottom of the Amazon box so it would have made more of a mess &/or possibly cut myself or a family member. I opened the other 3. There was an ‘oily’ type of film on the rims of the jars & the glass lids. However, I had hoped that the 3 that weren’t broken would fill my home (or at least one room) w/the scent of warm buttered toast. Not only did the 3 candles NOT smell like warm buttered toast, but the had no scent AT ALL!! Nothing! I’ve purchased candles before (from all different stores/places, not just Amazon) where the scent didn’t smell like what it should have smelled like, but they at least smelled like something! I burned the 3 remaining candles for approximately 2 hrs…. Nothing. These candles are a complete waste of money. I’ve purchased candles that cost a few dollars that were not nearly as cheaply made as these candles, & they at the very least had some aroma to them! I would have just returned the broken jar candles in it’s original box for obvious reasons, & kept the remaining 3 if they smelled like the scent described. Even if they didn’t smell like their description, I may have kept them if they had some kind of decent aroma. But these were a big waste of money for 4 completely unscented (& one totally shattered!), cheaply made, slippery from that ‘oil like’ film on the top of the jars & on their glass top lids. No way was I going to not return them. The 3 intact candles were useless. I’ve purchased candles so many times through Amazon from different companies for years & not once did I ever receive complete crap like these candles. I would not recommend these candles to anyone. Very disappointed. Like the candles having ZERO scent, I’d give them ZERO stars.

Soooo worth it. Perfect to set the study mood & the scent is actually strong! Smells sweet and buttery, faveee candle.

Excellent product! The double wick ensures even burn and no waste! Oh and it smells amazing!!!

Riecht tatsächlich nach frisch gebackenem Brot/Brötchen! Hätte ich nicht gedacht!

Es buen producto; sin embargo no me gustó el aroma; no es un aroma dulce.

I wasn’t sure at first but I liked the smell after a short bit. Then I bought another as soon as it was done. Now I have it on subscription. It really grew on me! I can leave it burning for a long time and it has a definite scent but it’s not overpowering. The smell is comforting in the same way comfort food is comforting.
