The company mentioned there marks up all their prices about 500 percent. You can get the same type of candle fragrances from many of the candle company suppliers mentioned on this board. You can also buy the wax at other companies if you do a search. I believe they buy wax and mark it up and market it as a luxury wax.
What I love with paraffin. It colors beautifully, doesn’t frost, burns wells. Soy can frost, dry out.
You can create a paraffin candles that doesn’t soot like crazy, but they have to blended.
I agree they are crazy expensive. The fragrances are a bit elevated though. I make coco apricot candles blended with 22 percent paraffin to improve throw…I made some with “regular”oils and some with lab and co oils for family and friends….they consistently preferred the lab & co (now wooden wick) oils. I wish the WW oils were a little less expensive…they sometimes go on sale 30% off. But the regular price is just too much to justify for selling candles. I will continue to use them for my personal collection and as gifts for family.
