So I’m doing all 6 of the evermore colors. I’m launching with 5 scents, each scent will be a different color and they all will be available in white. Just in case people like a scent but the color doesn’t fit their home or office, they can just do white.

[@singlehandedbeauty3581]

You could have a different color for each fragrance category: gourmand, floral, masculine, etc. Even if you don't categorize them online that way, you do so for yourself. I think all three colors would be great for your line. I also prefer the thin label. It looks more unique and elegant.

[@yuffduf]

The fancier jars could also be for a holiday collection! So many options!!!

[@LOLACANDLECO]

Love the vessels! I think the thinner label looks more luxury. The more minimal, the better!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! And true! After hearing others suggestions I’m almost considering to do a pretty box & dust cover instead! But I’m still debating 😅❤️

[@LOLACANDLECO]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo yes! Check out the dust covers that are made from seed paper. 😍

[@taneciacharlton3490]

I am in love with those vessels as well. You’ll pick the right ones and the right colors. So exciting. Can’t wait to see. Enjoy!

[@KoCoJellie]

💜l've been on a roll watching your videos!

[@daniellemuller8397]

I really appreciate watching your videos and learning all I can about candles to make a small business of my own. I know I might be 3 months late from commenting on this video but I loved all three of the heavy glass jars without the lids. You could make home linen type scents in the white jars, floral/herb type scents in the pink and fruity scents in the blue! I thought they were all beautiful over all.

[@maureenrothrauff6670]

A tip regarding packaging...if you create a free account with Uline, you can get free samples to see what works with your various vessels. Their customer service is amazing! I’ll go to their website, write down the product numbers of every box that may work and then I call and speak to a rep. I’m about 2 days, I’ll get all of the samples. You can even get plain boxes and add your own label/stickers. It may be nice for luxury products because if the required “label info” is on the box, you probably don’t need to put that directly on the candle.

[@natalielopez7486]

So excited to see you start working more with coco apricot wax, it's definitely my fav! Also, the last blooper is EVERYTHING! Dying, lol!!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

😂❤️

[@jeffreyswagger1759]

OMG.. please keep the bloopers coming...hilarious! (The last one had me rolling!) Btw, I like the slightly bigger, vertical label over the skinnier one on the Evermore vessel. Thanks for your videos...they are extremely inspiring! Keep up the great work!

[@raneestemann110]

Great video! I'm obsessed with the 16/17 vessels too. The problem is that I love so many that I can't decide which ones to use. Moulin Rouge is high on my list too. I've been playing around with the midnight bowls most recently. I used six CDN wicks (3s, I believe, possibly 4s) and it worked well on the 26oz bowl with their coconut-soy pearl wax, which I believe wicks similar to the coconut-apricot. I used four wicks (the same size as the larger bowl) on the 12oz. I'm currently testing wood wicks on these. I love the look of them so much. Very classy and artsy! Good luck with launching your luxury line!

[@labrandiajohnson2200]

I just place an order yesterday for the same wax can’t wait to get it

[@1idontwantausername]

Labeling is my favorite part of the process as well!

[@the1994candleco]

Ahhh! So excited to hear you’re working on a luxury line and with Coco Apricot wax!!! I literally just got 5lbs of it from Wooden Wick! I hear everyone say they’re the same wax but i’m not 100% sure if they are! I’m working on a luxury line to with 16/17’s monaco vessels! 😍 I am obsessed with them!

[@the1994candleco]

Also your bloopers GIVE ME LIFE. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yesss the Monaco vessels are GORGEOUS! I totally forgot to add them in this video!! And 😂😂 thanks!!

[@andreahancock5472]

I like the larger label size. Beautiful jars - wish we got them in South Africa!

[@RachelleDThompson]

I like the larger vertical label and the white vessel.

[@LinoLily24]

You are so inspiring ❣️

[@FourJaysFour]

Although it may seem boring, I like neutral colors so the candles can suit any decor. Warm earthy colors, white, cream...

[@grinchlette]

Excited you’ll be working with CocoApricot wax next! I just ordered CDN 3s & 4s. I heard that double-wicking with 4s in @ 3” vessel works well. I’d love to see a video testing the CDN wicks. I like the larger vertical label on the evermore.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! I’m excited too! ☺️

[@savanna.shares]

I recommend trying double Eco 2 for a 3” diameter with soy! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

[@destinylyons3600]

I love all of them 😭

[@wholeuntomyself]

New subscriber. Marathon watching your videos. I apologize if this has already been suggested, but if you are still planning the wine inspired candle trios you could market them as or call the collection a candle flight, which would be a play on a wine flight at restaurants

[@ianalexander3231]

I love the glass one's very luxurious

[@waynegross2113]

My personal preference is NEVER to outwardly label my luxury candles. I would much rather add a dust cover to label. I also label on a box. Just me, don't take offense. I just can't bring myself to cover the jar. I use coconut apricot creme and love it! I love both colors. Use color to express the color. I mean I only offer a certain fragrance in a certain color. If any of that helps, great. If not that's ok too, everybody does there own thing, I respect that. Jill Gross I'd add color to my wax in the clear vessels, it'd be gorgeous!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

The more I think about it the more I’m thinking about doing just a dust cover and a beautiful candle box! Thank you for your input ❤️

[@lilylewis3957]

you are so creative, the hanging label? I'd never think to do that 🤯

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

🥰🥰🥰 I’ve seen a few other makers do it!

[@raisaburdak]

I like the skinnier label better! It looks more unique and just looks a little more put together😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Thank you! ❤️

[@NoahMoorebirdraiser]

For the different colours of the evermore. Do different scents to go with the colour. For the other vessels, I'd do a dust cover and a custom label for the bottom. Which would have all the details including warnings.

[@rosannacastrejon8160]

Yes! Wanna know new blend!

[@chantallenburnette9354]

The bowl are so cute

[@lalaitscherryxo1711]

Lol we have the same taste in candle jars. I use the cali jars and tins from California Candle Supply, just I use the white ones. Then on sixteenseventeen, I was super excited when I saw the Evermore jars (I also use the West Coast jars, I love bamboo lids). So when you see me out there with my candles, don't think I copied you 😂 we just really seem to have the same taste ❤️

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I would never think that! 🥰 these are all great vessels to work with! ❤️

[@hellenguevara83]

Great ideas come alike… I was expressing yo my partner that I was going to have a Wine collection chose a name and fragrances for each as a limited edition line. I definitely think you should do it, I just think of all you he wine lovers I know and get excited. I love what you’re doing. You have taught so much and I appreciate it truly!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Yess doesn’t it just sound so fun? I think I want to work on that line first! It’s just so fun ☺️

Bigger thicker label looks great...LOL! Another good video:)

[@lilyashagirl]

Being the Evermore is a 14 oz & the MR is an 8 oz why not start by adding 4 vessels to your Lux Line and offer 2 diff price points. U can offer your scents in 2 sizes & 2 diff Styles/ 4 diff colors. Btw...Those bisque clear are bomb!!! As far as the color choices decide b4 hand how many scents & U choose what color for which scent. This way it'll be easier 4 you as far as time & inventory. Most clients will ask if they can get a specific scent in a diff color then u offer it in also u can Offer special orders in your pricing list. Accept that & charge as a "Special Order" upcharge maybe $4/5.- on the 8oz & $6/7.- on the 14 oz... Just an idea. 💡Try the wooden wick in the 3" clear... I Promise you U WILL LOVE THEM!! This is where wooden wicks really make a Chandlers life EASIER!! And Girllll the matte black bowls SCREAM LUX LUX LUX!!! U can Figure out All the details & U don't have to launch them All at the Same time. I'd definitely add those & the clear together. Sorry 4 my 2 +2+2 Scencts 😂😂😂 I HTH... And I Hope I didn't confuse u. Can't wait to see them. 😊

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Hahah girl thank you so much for your suggestions!! I appreciate it! ☺️☺️❤️❤️

[@jocquaduncan802]

Try doing a vertical label on the higher ends on both sides of the matte bowls

[@patriciabrown4061]

I personally wouldn't label luxury vessels, especially not the beautiful arty black ones but you could instead label your custom made boxes with creative designs according to scents, something completely different from your normal line . Just a thought!! Good choices tho, good luck with it all.

[@haninoersali7338]

Owwwhhh i used whisky glass too for my candle🥰🥰 and i make the wood lid separately..because the vessels like in yours video is very expensive in my country so if we want to sell with the cute vessel like yours it will be expensive😂😂

I always envision you booping my nose when you say “I’ll see YOU guys in the next video” 😂

[@mjones8887]

Coco Apricot wax is by far my favorite and easiest wax to work with. I’m using it for my luxury candle line. VCS and Coconut wax are tied in 2nd place for me. I also like Beeswax CoCo but the price 😩 runs 🏃🏾‍♀️ me off. I like to use Soy for wax melts. I suggest for each color vessel do a different theme with 3-4 different scents. You can do seasonal themes and change your vessel colors as needed bc tbh a lot of suppliers don’t consistently sell the same color vessels all year round- I noticed most suppliers bring out certain colors seasonally.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Beeswax is just SO expensive 😩 And thank you for the suggestion! ❤️❤️

[@mjones8887]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo You’re welcome 😊

[@isabelle2764]

I actually like the idea of just the white vessel. I like how cohesive your entire brand is and I think a colored vessel would throw it off. Just my thoughts!

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

I very much appreciate your opinion! ☺️ and honestly I’m kind of thinking the same thing- I LOVE the white vessels 🤍

[@thefragranceapothecary7281]

I want a luxury line. I will end up with Wooden Wick Co. I have had bad experiences with Sixteen Seventeen and Dream Vessels. I am anti-pre-sales and they both screwed me over! And at this stage of my life you only get to screw me over once.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Ah I’m sorry to hear that! You may want to look into ordering directly from the manufacturer overseas

[@jacxbmoore]

@@MemoryBoxCandleCo How do I find out who the actual manufacturer is? I tried doing some research on dream vessels but couldn't find their manufacturer/supplier. thank you

[@paytonconley2461]

The big black bowl... I’d put a label as a top dust cover, like the ones that have a hole for the wicks at the top. So that you don’t take away from the bowls look

[@robbiereckless905]

The first ones look great. But they remind me a ton of white barn and Avon candles. Avon does dust covers and special boxes too. Obviously, yours will be much better quality but as far as look go those remind me a lot of their jars.

[@MemoryBoxCandleCo]

Avon? like the MLM company? lol

[@gisellealmaaguilar]

I love the idea of Luxury line. Bougie parfumée is life :) . Just with bigger jars might need bigger boxes. Do they have cute candle boxes for these jars for packaging before boxing?

Your vertical label idea is super cute btw and the Tiffany blue is so gorgeous 😍 Also, I have been struggling trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong with my Minc machine because my foil keeps sticking to the whole entire page but maybe my laser printer settings are not correct- I really have no idea. If you have any pointers lmk 😩 Or maybe it will be on your next video? Lol

I can’t seem to figure it out so I’ve been ordering them from Etsy but that’s so expensive. I really need to figure out what I am doing wrong.

Plus, I don’t like that if you sell candles with them, they can audit your business if they choose to. Too many hoops to jump through, for my taste.
