ubure Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Hi there, this made me laugh today: got an email from a customer, asking if she is doing something wrong because her daughter says that the melts she malkes smell a bit artificial compared to Patylite (I don't know if you know Partylite in the USA, it is as big as Yankee - probably bigger here in Germany - as the same system as Tupper, and as expensive). I'm using oils from companies like Candle Cocoon etc. so definitely no artificial smells here.I told her that I couldn't give any advice with only that kind of info and that I vouched for my supplies and that maybe it is something psychological like "Partylite is a big brand and it is expensive as well - it must be better than that homemade stuff" or that it is just that liking or not liking smells is subjective. And that her daughter, if she prefers Partylilte, is free to buy from Partylite.Everybody can do whatever he/she wants to do, I don't force anybody to buy my stuff. But such a question! Come on! Really, sometimes it is weird. Have a nice day,ubure Edited August 27, 2015 by ubure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sometimes you can get a weird plastic (artificial) if the warmer is melting the wax too hot. Or it could be the type of scent, or even too much scent. There are many factors that it could be. Even reputable suppliers have duds sometimes... Partylite used to be big here, not sure if they still are. They are what made me decide to start making my own because I loved them so much...

Candybee Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Sounds like her daughter is using cheap fragrances to put in her melts. They may not even be made for candle/wax usage. Plus, why is her mother trying to get advice instead of the daughter? I agree its weird!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcandleattic Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Oh, I read this as they were Ubure's melts? Am I wrong about that? If they are commercially made and store-bought IDK then...

Vicky_CO Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 That sound like a lady fishing for info on your suppliers. Feel flattered she like yours and can not get the same quailty in her melts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Oh, I read this as they were Ubure's melts? Am I wrong about that? If they are commercially made and store-bought IDK then...I read as daughter made melts using fragrance from U's store. Either way, scent is so subjective.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
