This is the sub which introduced me to some quality products I never would have found on my own– which showed me I am not as much of a snob as I thought I was-and reminded me you can write paragraphs on something building it up so much the actual receipt of an item can just make you a bit sad. (One of the dresses they are showcasing–I swear the checked pattern is the same as the inside of the tote I received!)

Wow! Put the $845. in a candle dish and set it on fire. Same thing and no waiting.

It doesn’t say 4 candles per shipment. It says that each year, you get six deliveries and each year, you get 4 vessels from a single artisan, so it’s unclear what the other two vessels are. It says that the size of the candles is roughly 4 inches x 4 inches x 4.75 inches. I think it’s 6 candles a year, 4 of which have containers from a single artisan, and it says the vessels can be used for other purposes around the house or refilled w fragrance. It also says that the estimated retail value of the first year’s porcelain vessels is $159, so that’s a lot of money for the candles. This is not targeted to ordinary people w ordinary incomes. I can’t imagine spending that much on any candle.

Not sure why my comments are not posting. If they show up later, I apologize for the repeats. I purchased and am happy with Luxe Provence and love everything I get from them. Getting rid of Luxor and Robb Vices.

I wish they gave more info. I think I’ll wait for the next diptyque advent calendar. I card more about the scent that the vase.

This sounds SHADY. Reminds me of the Little Lace Box blanket subscription that they started right before they went under. Pass.

I just signed up and am very excited for the first candle. I purchase Byredo and other candles now so this it not much more and to also get an artist vessel to keep is nice. Initial investment is a bit but I believe the owner is honest and truly has a passion for bringing quality items, promoting artists and delivering something you can not just get anywhere. I am going to cancel Luxor and Robb Vices (both I have at the grandfathered price) and stick with Luxe Provence as I know I will love and appreciate everything. I did not realize how much I was spending monthly and quarterly and giving away quite a bit.

I wish! Of course once it’s broken down to 35$ per candle it doesn’t seem as bad because luxe candles do go for around that much but what sucks is we have no idea of the sizes and I tend to base my candle buying on oz.’s. I am very curious though and I’m wondering if they’ll send MSA a free box for review?!?

Lol …. wouldn’t it be cheaper to FLY to Paris and buy your own candles? Crazy

I like candles too, but 845$ for something I’m literally going to set on fire is a “no thank you”

I am sure the candles are nice. But with new and old boxes going out of business that is a big upfront risk.

I read it as 4 candles per shipment, so 24 candles in total. Still $35 per candle, which isn’t so bad compared to other fancy candles, I guess. Weird that they want it all upfront. $845 for a thing that trickles in over a year, yeah no. And no anyway. I’ll stick with my sale priced yankee’s.

Wait… so is it 4 candles per box? Or is it an unknown number of candles per box + one set of 4 extremely fancy candles?

Sarena

So this is $845 for FOUR candles?! I can’t stop laughing. Way too much!

It says 4 candles 6 times a year– still too much , especially since they want it upfront.

I certainly must have missed the size ( oz. and height) of the candle and its ” vessel”.

I understand, they are artisanal and they are luxe, but the price has me laughing just about like the Oreo cookie box. Absurd to spend that much money on candles that will be— burned.

Haha, let’s see for that price you can have a few candles…or a truckload of Oreos!
