glasllyn Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Another store question. Because I have a problem and I recognize that. The Candlemaker's Store has some really interesting scents, but there are no reviews and very few descriptions, which leaves me with questions like, "What does Morning Mist smell like? What about Mountain Mist? Is the Beef Jerky authentic? Will I ever know?" If you've been a customer, can you share your experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have only used orange Danish, and it is very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailC Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I hate that The Candlemaker's Store doesn't have scent descriptions, but it's the only supplier within a reasonable driving distance. I still mostly buy wax and jars there but I have bought a few FO's. I really like Pink Sands, a YC type, and Bamboo Rainforest which I don't know how to describe, just a clean, fresh fragrance. I bought a specially priced bottle of Botannical Breeze when I was there once, and it sat unused for a few years. But I finally put it in wax, and it smelled better than in the bottle, really nice. I got Muscadine Grape for my cousin, who wanted 6 candles, and she loved it. I am not partial to grape myself. Freesia is one of the few floral scents I like. I have bought some of the 'special' (cheap) FO's that I haven't liked, especially Mom's Baby Powder. YUK. But I have another cousin who loves it. She is the only one though. And Apple Berry is not good to me. Granny's Pumpkin pie is alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasllyn Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have a tough time ordering without knowing what I'm getting. They'd sell so much more if they at least had descriptions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that too because they have some really interesting sounding FO's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took some chances with Oregon Trail- four scents- and I'll report back on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbla Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I bought their absinthe once and it went bad in no time. The scent turned awful in just a few weeks and I had to toss it. That along with the lack of descriptions turned me off from ordering from them again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
