Why You Should Trust Us

Candlefind has been in business since 2003 as a labor of love and dedication. Throughout the years, we have tested hundreds of candles and wax melts, standardizing our processes along the way. This assures that we test products in similar ways to give our insight to what you might expect in your home. We test every single product we review or endorse on our site. We never have (and never will) accept money, products, or gifts in exchange for a positive review. We are avid candle and wax melt lovers who have made reviewing them our business.

This post may contain affiliate links. This means that if you click through one of them and make a purchase, Candlefind may receive a small commission, at no additional cost to you. It is your ongoing support that helps make Candlefind successful, and for that we are thankful.

While we love a good Bath & Body Works candle, the rising prices have us always on the lookout for similar scents in other 3-wick candles. The candles that can be purchased at ALDI are from Huntington Home, and they also offer wax melts, too! The Frosted Vanilla candle seemed right up our alley for a chilly Florida season, so we snapped it up as soon as it became available. The 3-wick candle looks very much like the popular BBW candles, and it smelled oh-so-good on cold sniff. We were excited to put it to the test!

Candlefind uses a specific process to try to test all candles and wax melts on as even a playing field as possible. For candles, we test them all in three specific locations in our home – one small area, on medium/average size area, and a large, open space for the initial burns. We then finish burning out the candle in the area that it performed the best. We do test candles from start to finish, ending the burn when there is approximately 1/2″ of wax left in the bottom.

Who Is Frosted Vanilla For?

This is a candle for those who love bakery or gourmand fragrances. It is a beautiful vanilla fragrance if you are a vanilla fan. The wax is soy blend, so if you are not stuck on 100% soy candles, this might work for you.
This candle did best in a medium/average sized room as far as its scent strength and throw. It was moderately fragranced, so it would make for a good background fragrance if you were having a party or get together.

What did we test?

The candle we tested was their 3-wick soy blend 14 ounce candle (with B&BW candles weighing in at 14.5 ounces). The candle had a fall-ish plaid design on the label which included the scent name and company name. The lid was silver and had an ornate textured pattern on top. We did not see a stated burn time on the label or on the warning sticker on the bottom.

The candle wax was off white in color and had a smooth appearance to it. The warning label on the bottom indicated it “may contain soy,” but the wax feel and look made it appear that there is some soy in this wax formulation. The 3 wicks were well spaced and did require trimming before use.

What did we like about Frosted Vanilla?

Our Frosted Vanilla candle smelled oh-so-good! The buttery vanilla notes were the most prominent, but this was blended with some soft woodsy notes and creamy coconut. It was not that strong, but it did have a good scent throw and carried well.

We loved that this candle had a deep melt pool that remained even throughout the burn. We kept the wicks trimmed and did not have any problems with migrating wicks or torching. It was a nice, clean burn throughout the life of this candle.

What didn't we like about Frosted Vanilla?

We don’t like not having the scent notes available. Frosted Vanilla had a bit more to it that vanilla, and we would like to know the top, middle, and bottom notes. The candle did have a fairly fast burn (approximately 30 hours), but this is to be expected with the 3 wicks. However, we have had longer burns with some of the B&BW candles.
While this fragrance was wonderful, we would have liked it to be a bit stronger. If using it for a large, open space, you will most likely need 2-3 candles to scent it up appropriately.

If you’re looking for a similar fragrance to Frosted Vanilla from Huntington Home Candles, consider these options:

  • Vanilla Cloud, Bath & Body Works This candle has more of the woodsy notes and no coconut. 
  • Vanilla Cupcake, Yankee Candle This staple at Yankee Candle is more vanilla-y and has more of a bakery scent. 
  • Birchwood Vanilla, Slatkin & Co This candle is very close to Frosted Vanilla but is a lot stronger.
