Candles are like people, some are thin and short and some are medium, and some are tall and fat. So it depends on how much wax there is making up the candle as to how long it will burn.
That is a difficult question as the quality of the candle affects how long it will last. Dollar store candles are inexpensive but the wax is inferior so they don't burn very long at all. More expensive ones usually burn longer, but then some may be cheap wax and just overpriced. To ensure you get the longest burn from any candle, you should keep them in your freezer till you need them The wax will be almost frozen so the heat of the flame will not be able to melt the candle as fast. This works well even on birthday candles which usually melt before they are blown out !
This is a very tricky question because there are so many
variables that come into play when burning any candles, such
as location (drafts, wind, ceiling fans), amount of time of
continuous burn, proper wick trimming, etc. Some fragrances
have ingredients that create a faster burn time than others.
Its always best to follow the burn instructions on the back
of every jar to get the maximum results and safety from your
candles.
