Unpopular opinion: the $89 "limited edition" candle at the mall pop-up smelled like a hotel lobby and burned out in 4 hours
Was walking through the mall in Columbus on Saturday and saw this pop-up shop with a line out the door. Little candles, $89 each, box says "small batch" and "only 500 made." The label had a QR code instead of any info about what's in it.
Stood there for a minute and heard the girl working the register tell a customer that the "limited" runs sell out fast so people should grab two. Then I noticed the same box design on a shelf behind her with a different scent and a shipping label from a warehouse in Jersey. Same wax, same jar, probably a few bucks to make.
For $89 I can get a candle from a local maker downtown that smells better and lasts way longer. Has anyone actually bought one of these pop-up brand candles and felt like it was worth the price?
