[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 613285, member: 84"] There is no difference that I can tell from ones we make for walmart and ones we make for the designers, except perhaps the glass is a bit more fragile and the fragrance of some of them. You're basically paying for the name. Except perhaps for Calvin Klein as his seem to smell like most of his fragrances......which actually make me sick. lol (his fragrances are expensive too) A candle is a candle regardless of how it is packaged. Ours are made by hand mostly if you don't count the conveyer belt and the hoppers filling the jars with liquid wax. At those temps, I certainly am glad a person is not doing it. The favorite candle we make? Entermanns (sp?) baked goods candles. OMG They are heaven on earth and I swear I gain 10 lbs with each order we make. I fantasized over spice cake for a week! lol No joke. Smell just like your favorite baked good from them. Wonderful. No idea of how much they cost but they tell me they're sold at walmart. I am a slugger. I "make" the candles. I've done walmart, Entermann's, JC Penny's (no idea of brand they go under because I'm not on the packing side for these), various others, Calvin Klein and Airwick.....not the "oh I wanna freshen the house kind" but some super outrageous expensive kind that causes the bosses to breathe down your neck 10 times worse than with CK. Not just anyone gets to make that last one. Wax is the same. Wick is the same. Burns the same way. Know what I mean?? [/QUOTE]
