It states that the person: “purchased fresh organic fruits from local farmers stands and developed an all natural scent which was cooked into organic waxes, without dyes or harmful chemicals.”

 

Thats not a thing right? It seems very misleading. I’ve never seen anything about  “cooking” food to make fragrance to then add it into wax. It’s implying that this fragrance is from scratch. There’s a lot of emphasis on locally sourced materials being used...a lot of dodgy marketing.

The thought I can’t get out of my head is her poor customers watching their “food candles” rot and the inevitable fruit fly infestation to follow. Yikes! 😬 😳

Good morning,

 

I am wondering if anyone knows of an exact match to Candlewic Autumn leaves? Here is the description: Warm, earthy patchouli is combined with wood notes, sweet dried fruits, grated spices of clove and cinnamon, and light top notes of mandarin and berry to create this luscious autumn aroma.

 

Thanks,

Karen in MA

Literally 1 year ago I could order 9 50lbs box of wax for $685 shipped.  The last few months it went up to $755 and today when I went order $806.  $120 more, over $13 per 50lbs box of wax. WTF!

 

Fortunately late last year I decided to up my prices after 4 years of not changing.  Here I thought I was making more money, but in reality just covering the new costs.  UGH. 

 

I am scared to look at prices for me FO and other items. 

 

Anyone else see crazy price hikes on things they buy?

Newer to the game but have definitely noticed this for SHIPPING. Shipping costs have gone crazy! UPS is adding surcharges left and right while also capping the # of shipments many of their volume business customers can make (which I’ve never heard of in my lifetime).

That, combined with global supply chain impacts, material shortages, many factories still at reduced capacity/production- it all kind of “adds up” but it really sucks if you can’t do what a big corporation does and just pass that increase off down the line somewhere.

Mainly hoping things improve and we can see some things get more back to normal - and not have to adjust to this becoming the new normal...

Jealous of anyone who lives near their supplier and can do warehouse pickups right now 😅

That sounds interesting. Where do you find a barn wood scent?

Aztec definitely has, but others like CS likely do as well 👍🏽
