Type of Wax in Illume Candles

Has anyone seen/bought these candles? My brother sent me a couple and they are beautiful. Wonderful burn with no soot or wax hangup and an awesome scent throw. The wax is softer to the touch and seems very creamy. I thought at first it might be J300, but it is slightly creamier than that.
Does anyone know what wax they might be using in their container candles? They sell them for about $22.00 each.
I'd like to try to come close to the wax they use. I'm serious, these candles are some of the best I've ever seen.

I have been watching her company for years....she actually started at home....quit her job and opened a little shop near where I uesd to live in LA....she was near Beverly Hills and became an instant hit.....she sold the company and then got it back or something like that (Illuminations) I watched a couple of TV shows with her demonstrating candlemaking and another one where it showed the factory......I know that Don at North Valley Molds in California makes at least some of her molds and she might get her wax from Candlewic....I have talked to so many people over the years, that it is hard to keep things straight.....if she does use wax from them it is either 4045 or their own 4045H, you could call and ask. Also I have found that adding some steric and vybar 343 makes the candles better....I even carried some of her candles when I had a store.....I just made some candles yesterday and am waiting to unmold them....if they look good (it was an experiment) I will post them in the gallery....Donita

Thanks Donita! The wax you mentioned is for pillars & votives. I'm interested in her container candles so I don't think the 4045H is the one.
