Why Coconut Apricot Candles Cost More—And Why They're Worth It
If you’ve browsed my candle collection recently, you might’ve noticed a new addition: My Luxe Collection - coconut apricot wax candles. You may have also noticed that they’re priced a little higher than my traditional soy candles.
So, what makes them different—and why the higher price tag?
Let me walk you through it.
A Premium Wax for a Premium Experience
Coconut apricot wax is not your average candle wax. It’s a luxurious blend of coconut wax and apricot oil, designed to deliver a truly elevated candle experience. While soy wax is a great natural option that I continue to use and love, coconut apricot wax brings something special to the table—and here’s how.
1. Superior Scent Throw (Yes, You’ll Notice the Difference)
One of the biggest upgrades with coconut apricot wax is the incredible scent throw. It holds and releases fragrance exceptionally well, which means your space will fill with beautiful aroma faster and stronger—both when the candle is burning (hot throw) and just sitting on the table (cold throw).
If you love candles that truly fill a room, this wax delivers.
2. A Longer, Cleaner, More Even Burn
Thanks to its lower melting point and creamy consistency, coconut apricot wax burns longer and more evenly than soy wax. That means less tunneling, minimal soot, and a candle that looks and performs beautifully from the first light to the last flicker.
In short: you get more use out of your candle, and it looks better doing it.
3. Luxurious Look & Feel
This wax creates a smooth, creamy surface with a soft, natural finish. It doesn’t “frost” like soy sometimes does, and it pours into the vessel with a gorgeous glassy top that’s both sleek and refined. These candles are designed to look as high-end as they smell, making them perfect for gifts, decor, or just treating yourself to something special.
4. Higher-Quality Ingredients = Higher Cost
Coconut apricot wax is a premium wax, and it comes at a higher cost than soy—not just to me as a maker, but also in terms of time and care in the crafting process. This wax is softer, more delicate, and requires precise handling to pour perfectly. But the result? A candle that looks, burns, and smells noticeably better.
So yes, they’re a bit more expensive—but you’re not just paying for a candle. You’re getting a sensory upgrade, a better burn, and a more beautiful product overall.
What’s Right for You?
Both soy and coconut apricot candles are made with love, care, and high-quality ingredients. My soy wax candles are perfect for everyday use, and they offer clean, simple joy at an approachable price point.
But if you’re looking to indulge in something more refined, something with a stronger fragrance and more elegant presentation, the coconut apricot line is for you.
