Are those the maker's note tiers?

No. The maker publishes these notes as a flat list without a top, middle and base. The grouping shown here is ours, arranged to make the accord readable, and it should not be read as the maker's own structure.

Why does the price differ between listings of this candle?

Vessel. The observed figure here is for the Mercury Iridescent jar on the linked page; Capri Blue prices the same fragrance differently across its vessel range, so compare fill weight and stated burn rather than the jar.

[ Not shown ] is a figure we hold and are withholding. Not observed is one nobody here has recorded. Hover or focus either for the reason.

Burn hours are as stated by each maker, never measured by us. Where a shop publishes a different figure we record both and say so. “Not observed” means nobody here has ever recorded a price for that row. “Not shown” means we hold one and are withholding it, because its source page or its pricing basis was never recorded, and a sale price set against a list price produces a wrong answer from correct arithmetic. The reasons per row: Capri Blue Havana Vanilla — Price not shown — source not recorded; Teakwood & Tobacco — Price not shown — basis not established; Coconut Santal — Price not shown — basis not established; Brooklyn — Price not shown — basis not established.

The matches

How close each one gets

Teakwood & Tobacco
P.F. Candle Co
Leather, teak and orange. The tobacco-and-wood half of this scent with none of the vanilla, so it reads far drier.
Where to buy
Coconut Santal
Capri Blue
Sandalwood and warm amber under coconut, from the same maker in the same vessel size. Sweet in a different direction.
Where to buy
Brooklyn
Brooklyn Candle Studio
Leather and cassis over patchouli. Darker and fruitier, and it keeps the smoky-leather edge the vanilla sits on.
