THE BIT THEY DIDN'T PUT ON THE BOX.
Your £60 candle began life in a sack.
Premium lifestyle brands sell luxury 200g candles for £50–£75, boasting "proprietary sustainable botanical wax mixes." The base medium is simply industry-standard Golden Wax 464, which candle-making supply wholesalers sell in massive 5kg bulk sacks to the public for £15–£20 total.
SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?
This is base-wax cost only, not an identical finished candle or like-for-like sale.

Look for complete part numbers and revisions, make sure you're comparing the same quantity, and check the exact model/application. That's especially important with electrical, braking, steering, battery and other safety-related components.
