candlelady42 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hello everyone! I am new here, just joined today. I am known as the Candlelady42. I've been making and selling soy triple scented candles, tarts, melts, room sprays and more for about two years now. I have a successful website and physical home store where people can come and shop or browse. I make Christmas Candles, Tarts and such. I am 43 years old and have one son who is 15 yrs. old named Jake! You can find me on facebook at www.facebook.com/candlelady42 or www.facebook.com/simonesavon, www.twitter.com/candlelady42. I decided to join to find new ways to make candles, and to give and receive great advice! My shopping website is www.sweetsoycandles.com. Any other questions, please ask! Have a great day/night guys! Looking forward to improving my candle making skills by browsing and talking to everyone on this site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I know I'm interested in the "triple scented" part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OldGlory Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I won't speak for Candlelady, but when I first started making candles it was explained to me this way:2% was the standard amount of FO to add4% was double scented6% was triple scentedI have always added around 6%, maybe a bit less or more depending on the application and fragrance oil. In 1343 I add 3%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerywren Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've always added 6%, as well. Hmm, learn something new every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It's a marketing hype....exactly how old glory explained it Using the term Triple scented makes it sound like your getting more scent in a candle or a better candle than normal- wax can only hold so much fragrance- I use 8.57 percent so I guess I would be quadruple scented.....It has also been referred to as using 3 different scents layered in a jar from some of the websites I have seenBy the way welcome candlelady42, your candles look very nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
