Slatkin

Harry talking to a call-in customer: "I don't usually push my items and I don't brag about them, but ...."

Over-exaggerated statement.

Ha! Sure he doesn't.

When it came to discussing the great price point, he said he'd let the host do that. Just because Harry is enthusiastic, I wouldn't consider him pushy. I'm happy I got the TSV - not sure how many they brought in but 39,000 sets had sold when I placed my order.

I heard that too. I thought - really??? What a salesman.

well they are really nice candles. I'm OK with someone being proud of their product.

They look nice and the descriptions sound wonderful but I'd LOVE him to make them with toppers (like another company on QVC used to do).... I know... so 90's but I loved them and they were so cute and used them all the time until they were gone. I love a sophisticated look as well, but can't help still wanting the ones with toppers.....

@AuntG

I bought the TSV too---I like his candles---I like the scents, no soot, no drowning wicks, a very nice solid container, not this thin glass container like B&BW....

I totally agree with you, I dont mind his enthusiasm for his product, and its ENTHUSIASM rather than being pushy.....The Dyson Rep that fudges her information in order to try to sell is the pushy one. ....(she tells the run time is 1 hour, but thats on the low setting, she never mentions the high setting run time because Consumer Reports and Reviews say its only 6 to 10 minutes on high!).....I'll take Harry's GENUINE enthusiasm any day!

I ordered as well, love his scents! Sometimes I only burn mine for an hour or two and it scents up my whole 1st floor!

I got his TSV last year, and I think the year before. I kept some and gave some as gifts.

I am not a candle snob and don't buy a lot of candles. But I was not overly impressed with his candles. The fragrance certainly did NOT fill up the room and they seemed to burn down so quickly. I did not even like all the scents I got.

I love Harry's Homeworx candles!

I'm not into food scented candles, so I didn't buy the TSV. But I know he'll have more new scents later in the year that I will surely want to purchase. I currently have several of his 4-wick candles and burn them nearly every day.

I would NEVER buy a scented candle without being able to smell it first. Can't stand sweet sugary smelling candles imitating food. YUK ! ! !

I do like a woodsy smell, but something tells me his candles are not that great.

I got his Christmas ones last year. Am very happy with them.

@AuntG There can be a world of difference between pushing and being pushy. Every vendor comes on to push a product. Why else would they be there? Slatkin certainly pushes his merchandise. Pushy is when they become deceptive and obnoxious about it. We know who those people are.

I love his candles and he knows his business. He had a fabulous store off Madison Avenue in NYC many years ago. I just loved going there & he had a very select clientele. It was home decor.....I remember beautiful chandeliers sparkling that you could see from the street and holiday time was wonderful
