Wood wick candles are more than just a trendy upgrade—they’re a full-on sensory throwback. They crackle like a campfire, burn longer, and throw scent like they mean it. If you're still wondering what makes wood wick candles special (and why Gen X loves them), we’ve got answers.
A: A wood wick candle gives you a soothing crackle while it burns, kind of like a mini fireplace. It also throws scent better than a regular candle and burns more evenly. Want to try one? Check out our wood wick candles made with soy wax and serious attitude.
A: Many people think so. They burn slower and sound cooler, plus they look sleek in any room. Don’t take our word for it—light up Flannel Feelings and see for yourself.
A: Yes! The wide flame from a wood wick helps spread scent faster and more evenly. If you want that scent to hit you like a mixtape memory, try our Risky Business candle with musk, vanilla, and bourbon vibes.
A: That crackle comes from air and moisture in the wood escaping as it burns. It's normal—and it’s part of the experience. Want that soundtrack with your scent? Try Bonfire Buzz, our smoky, fire-roasted fan favorite.
A: Trim the wick to 1/8 inch before each burn. Let the wax pool fully across the top to prevent tunneling. And always burn safe. Need more tips? Check out our blog: How to Burn Candles Like a Pro.
A: Soy wax. It’s cleaner, slower-burning, and pairs perfectly with wood wicks. Every candle at Smells Like Gen X is made with 100% soy wax, because we don’t do shortcuts.
A: Oh yeah. Our Candles for Men collection is packed with masculine scents like oak moss, bourbon, and smoky woods. Try Backyard Confidential for a blend of sandalwood, lavender, and danger.
A: Definitely not. Cheap materials make for weak burns. We use high-quality wood wicks, premium soy wax, and bold scent blends that throw hard and burn long. See the difference in our Totally Tubular Candle Collection.
If you want a candle that sets the mood with scent and sound, go for wood wicks. They're crackling, bold, and built for Gen Xers who remember what atmosphere actually felt like.
Light one up. Throw on a flannel. Let the scent and sound take you back.
