What do we miss most from going out to the movie theaters on the regular? Why popcorn, of course! Now that we’ve mostly started snuggling up at home and streaming our movies, we’ve been in search of the best popcorn scented candles that can give us a bit of that movie theater feel. We’ve burned through dozens and these are our picks for the best!

We love Swan Creek Candles, and their Salted Caramel Popcorn candle is one of the best. It has plenty of smooth caramel notes without smelled burned, and there are hints of salty popcorn, too. It’s just delicious!

If you’re going more for a salty, buttery scent, then Movie Theater Popcorn from Lebanon Candle should fit the bill. It is strong enough to scent a medium sized room and the fragrance is very authentic.

Only The Best Candles makes this Vanilla Popcorn candle that is heavier on the sweet compared to salty. It is a thick, creamy vanilla scent that is a lot like a buttercream frosting. Blend that with the saltiness of the popcorn and yum, yum, yum!

Of course we can count on Slatkin & Co. for a realistic popcorn scented candle version. The Cinnamon Sugar Popcorn is a bit more warm than the others, with its sweet cinnamon notes and plenty of brown sugar. The buttery notes just set it off!
