Candle Day 2023 arrives this year on Sunday, December 3rd. This annual promotion is put on by Bath and Body Works and features incredible deals on the retailer’s popular three-wick candles. Let’s just say, for candle lovers, the occasion is “lit.”
With Candle Day happening this weekend, BetKentucky.com is continuing our extended coverage of Kentucky culture by determining what the most popular candle scents are in the state. While this information won’t help you win in Kentucky sports betting, it may save you money this Christmas — and therefore free up some extra bankroll.
To find out what candle scents are most popular in the Bluegrass State, we began by considering Statista’s research on the leading scents in the international candle market. From there, we used Google Trends to identify the most searched scent in Kentucky over the past five years (November 2018 to November 2023). Based on this, check out the most popular candle scents in Kentucky below.
