Perfumers Apprentice

Have anyone here tested their fragrance oils in candles with any good results (not their molecules)?

From what I recall, I thought they mostly sold aroma chemicals, but I haven't been back to check to see if they also carry fragrance oils.  You can *very carefully* use some aromas to add to a fragrance oil, but you only use a very small amount and before you order them, I think it would be very wise (critical) to look up the flashpoints and read reviews about how they may perform in candles, and also take note as to how they are to be stored, handled, etc.  In other words, you can't just buy any aroma and use it.

Thanks,

 

We have a lot of their aroma chemicals for blending perfume but they do carry a lot of really good fragrance oils also which we haven't tried in candles.

 

I spoke to the lady who runs it before and she told me she doesn't have much knowledge about candles but her customers have reported that they use some of her stuff in candles. 

 

I just did a tester today of one of their premium FO's in a soyblend.
