The state of Illinois is the 21st state that was admitted to the great US of A.

Illinois is also home to some wonderful businesses, including scores of candle companies. Which of these are considered the best Illinois candle companies? We’ve scoured the web and poured over our notes to come up with this list of the 5 best candle companies in Illinois.

The clean burning candles from Adorn are long lasting and beautifully scented. These beeswax candles are some of the best. Our candle picks: Honeysuckle and Rosewood.

For a throwback in time, the high quality candles of 1803 are a sure bet. They have various styles, we’re partial to their signature mason jars with the kraft labels. Our candle picks: Biscuits & Honey, French Lavender.

This black owned candle company creates an luxurious soy blend candle in eye-catching amber jars. They have a slow burn and excellent throw. Our candle picks: No. 7 and No. 13.

In Chicago’s art district, seek out Edgewater Candles. These soy candles pack a punch and burn such a long time, it’s unreal! Our candle picks: Ashen Rose and Red Ginger Saffron.

There are so many great things to love about Hearth & Hammer, including their literary themed soy candles. The fragrance combinations are unique and the staying power is uber long. Be still our hearts! Our candle picks: The Scarlett Letter and Prose.
