The five most expensive candles (2023)

Especially this year, the purchase of candles has increased due to the increase in gas and electricity bills.

Buyers are looking for ways to heat their home without turning on the heater while still keeping their home feeling cozy and fragrant.

While most of us are looking for affordable candles like tea lights, let's take a look at the five most expensive candles on the market today for a little more glamour.

We already know that "designer" products will pay more, so it's good to shop around and go to places like eBay to get a discount.

Whenever we buy products from the websites mentioned, we know that it will cost significantly more.

Why are designer candles expensive?

First of all, designers use high-quality waxes for their candles, so that they are better for the environment and our health. They do not emit excess carbon like paraffin candles.

If we buy plant-based waxes like beeswax or soy, this will definitely be reflected in the amount we pay.

By using expensive materials, we as a customer then pay for the experience of having a candle that burns evenly, is healthier for our environment and our health, and has a candle that gives off a consistent scent.

Designers use high-quality fragrances in their candles, which is also reflected in the price.

They will also use quality packaging, quality candle wax, and an elegant vessel to keep it safe to burn.

Every part of making some of the world's most expensive candles goes through a very intense process that takes a lot of money with every element of its production.

Designers also use pure essential oils instead of artificial oils in their fragrance so we can understand why we pay so much more than the cheaper everyday candles.

The glass is another expensive part of the product. They are bulky and heavy and therefore cost more shipping cost.

The advantage of buying expensive candles is that they don't have to be lit for hours for the scent to fill the room in your home.
