Harry Slatkin TSV 7/12/20

[Clothescloth]

I haven’t seen Anne Dawson for ages, let alone watched and listened for more than a minute or two. Is she always this bad? Below is word-for-word earlier.

Anne: “You really .., I mean, this is it, you give, you give a Homeworx Candle by Harry Slatkin and people are not going to imagine that you have spent that little to get something that beautiful and really that creates the experience....”

Harry: “Anne ... Anne [trying to stop her talking for a minute because she’s got verbal diarrhoea]. What would you pay for one of these on the high street?”

Anne: ”Oh my goodness. I’ve no idea. I mean .... you ..... It’s ... You really ... I mean ... and, and you know what, Harry, if you lifted it up and felt the weight and experienced the fragrance ...”

and she’s off again ...

Agree! I’m afraid Anne is another one I can no longer listen too, even if she’s presenting something that I particularly want to watch. Her voice goes through me, and she just talks a load of repetitive rubbish. She looked nice though!

Gosh I am a sucker I just ordered the TSV on auto delivery but I like the sound of these. Small though much smaller than the regular stock. I need some fresh air the HS Tiare flower is killing me

I'm just hoping to God that the one I've wrapped for my friend isn't sickly like that one! I found the Tiare one a bit headache inducing as well as being sickly, but I could just about bear it in small bursts. OH was like you in that he was literally gagging! If you want to keep the jar I guess you can only grin and bear it, or else get shot of it..oh dear!

the jars are nice I may keep them for a while at least may even sell one or two on eBay people like stuff like this ....at the right price

Ooh boy, I have to say I'm not remotely tempted by this range.
Mazza, you officially have a reputation may you continue to live up to or down to this, as the need arises. After the year you have had, it's heartening to see you are getting back in form.

Some people will pay good money for the empty jars, so burning them or not you may make some money back.

Omg I can't believe this I have lit the Tiare flower and I feel like I am gaging I want to throw up...just had my breakfast: porridge and I feel as sick as a kitten. I had to check the bottom of the candle I thought no this is too much of a coincidence. OH WELL!!!!!
I loved the yellow candle to it ws nice no gagging there but this one uggggggg!

So annoying when that happens! As I said elsethread I have had to abandon the YC World Journeys Danish Butter Cookies. It was so strong and I just couldn’t take it. It was like Christmas Cookie/Vanilla Cupcake on steroids. And I could still smell it in the flat the next day. So the regular icy blast through an open window had to last twice as long the next morning.

Sad but true! But at least I managed to resist this set. I did buy a case of wine from Laithwaites though..... Need to keep the supplies up.

well auto-delivery gone they never had that many

Auto delivery is still available

This is a totally pointless comment, because this fragrance has been retired, but one of the nicest YCs I've ever bought was Holiday Lights. I'm sitting in silence with a comatose cat & a very cranky Mr T who doesn't just have to contend with severely impaired vision but an aching back from the position he has to be to protect the gas bubble in his eye. It must be the quietness that sent me off on a rambling thoughts journey & along the way I remembered the name of this candle.

Bought this. Auto delivery too. Never done that before.
Looks so nice . Hopefully I get my post Covid smell back soon?

 

[candycane]

Didn't buy it. Quite pleased with myself. Actually I'm itching to buy it but I must be strong

its not been that popular even the Yankee set sold out and had advanced orders....these are expensive though and very small. The wax burn 4 times faster than stated. its a shame they are quite strongly scented and look great but expensive for what they are

Did you persevere with the Tiare flower?

Yes burnt it again after a break. Its not as strong now but as a precaution the door was wedged wide open. I doubt this brand will outlive Yankee though on QVC. The candles are well presented as we all know but the burn times make them ridiculously expensive. The TSV is a third smaller approx than the regular sizes In this range . You would never get a whole day with this TSV or the crystal cut TSV. its sad but its style over a good burn time

Boffy Your detailed posts on here helped me resist buying this - thank you! I was only interested in trying the white birch but really keen on the second, spa set. In the past I may have ordered the tsv to get it but thinking about the burn time etc stopped me. Your descriptions are spot on - although I must admit the tiara flower was my favourite of the previous tsv You now just have to convince me I dont need the MB warm option. Repeat to myself "I only have one body"

I am being picky re the MB TSV partly because I have bought a lot over the last few weeks. Its a shame re: Harry Slatkin candles. They truly are not bad candles but just not as good as advertised. I have bought the TSV that never sold out but really good candles do cost a lot of money or are a rarity. Yankee dont have the strong scents as they did but offer imo good VFM and some lovey candle experiences

I fancy the other 2 large ones with the Christmas Lilies. They might be in the sale.

the christmas ones in this range dont tend to get reduced

 

[boffy]

I am wondering if this range will last on QVC UK considering it was a TSV day there were no new sets to tempt people into buying say the TSV and even another collection. Plus dumbing it down and making a much smaller size for the TSV smacked of desperation. Maybe people "smelled" the meaness and did not buy!

no the last tsv was a 3 piece & was smaller than the normal size candles they have done that to give people more mixed sets & there were tons of new items on the previous shows on the last TSV day & that was the new items till next year

You're probably right Super but we can hope. Christmas candles might not be popular after the event.
