Our Top 10 Most Popular Candles!
With over 40 thoughtfully designed candle scents so far (you know we’re cooking up even more creative and nostalgic scent combinations that you’ll hear about soon) it’s always a thrill to look at the numbers and see which candles are the crowd favorites.
If you’ve ever picked up and smelled one of our Laurel Mercantile Co candles before, then you know that these are not your run-of-the-mill candles. They are special. And we are so proud to make them right here in the U.S.A – some candles are even poured and packaged right here in Laurel, MS!
We’ve pulled the data and here are the top 10 candles that we can barely keep on the shelves this year:
