awnl Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Is anyone else drooling over the new fragrance CandleWic has released? I want to try them all Coastal Kale, Cucumber Mint Spritzer, Dancing Daisy to name a few. Listed on their website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Not really, but ... I have some interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah S Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I saw the email! IDK, it looked like a lot of florals and herbals to me, which don't generally excite me. A couple of the water ones looked good though! I really need to take a day to go up there and sniff samples. They have a couple of fragrances I can't live without, but recently I've ordered some real duds from them. 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like so many of their oils already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) I just read the email today (edited)...not sure if I want to add any florals. Has anyone tried their whiskey scents ? They're always out when I place an order Edited May 1, 2018 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really gotten any duds yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I thought the Hot Buttered Rum was going to be a dud. Smelled weak OOB, and the CT wasn't great either. But I was pleasantly surprised when I burned it. It was plenty strong enough and I really liked the scent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Hot Buttered Rum was going to be a dud. Smelled weak OOB, and the CT wasn't great either. But I was pleasantly surprised when I burned it. It was plenty strong enough and I really liked the scent. Smoked Ginger. The most horrible, vile fragrance I have ever smelled. It was like moldy mint tea brewed inside a tennis shoe. Blueberry - it doesn't smell bad, but at 7% I'm not getting much HT, which is unusual for their oils. I wish I had gone with the pricier Wild Maine Blueberry. Rattlesnake Grass. This one is just kind of strange. It's not a floral, it's not herbaceous, it's sort of citrusy but not fruity... It's not a bad smell, just not a great one. Ylang and Amber. It does not smell like Ylang or Amber. I was hoping for a sexy floral but I got laundry detergent. 😔 My other duds are just personal preference, like Bombshell and Clean Cotton. Glad I only got samples of those! They're super strong, just not my thing. We've already talked about their Spice FO, lol! On my list to try is Butterscotch, Hot Buttered Rum, Cotton Blossom, Apple Cider Donut, and Marine Minerals. Oh and Frost! My must-haves from them are Voodoo Love, Mahogany Spice, and Moonlight Path. I don't know how I lived without those! My middle daughter uses Moonlight Path in her shampoo and conditioner, and her hair always smells amazing! ❤️ 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevcher Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) The Apple Cider Donut is really good ! Had great results in para-soy container wax Thanks for the info, esp. the Smoked Ginger ,I'll just skip that one Edited April 30, 2018 by chevcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 @Sarah S, I haven't even gotten samples of the duds you mentioned. But those aren't my cup of tea, except Blueberry and I have Blueberry Cobbler from Aztec and Cierra. Here are some of my favorites: Berry Tangerine - I love, love this one Clementine & Daisy - actually this one is my granddaughter's favorite, but I like it too. Succulent Agave & Oakmoss Pumpkin Chai Summer Fresh Apple Cider Donut Lemongrass Sage Black Tea Orange and Almond - This one is strong! Both CT and HT There are others I like OK, like Mulberry Spice and Pomegranate Cider, but just not my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmeltswax Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Parsley Lime & Coconut Coral sound interesting . I have had very few duds with CW . Spice & Christmas Essence I do not recommend ,both smell very weird to my nose . I threw both these scents to the trash ,would not even consider giving these to anyone ,much less try to sell them to anyone . I will add that I do love most all the others & I do use many CW oils . I order mostly the Ultimate & Bold selection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make sense. I sure don't blame you if you don't buy it and trying it again lol I am upset about Red Egyptian Musk. It is awful. Is it the same thing as Dragon's Blood? I have a pound of it and am considering throwing it away. It is awful and I refuse to use it.

I have never tried the Dragons blood or Egyptian musk .I do think every company can & does sell old stock .I will continue to buy my favorites of course .I have learned to order samples first .I have lost to much money jumping in on the pound bottles before trying samples .I do love Candlewic products thou.😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family loves it. But we also use Patchouli too. Lol I didn't like patchouli at first but since I've been having the make it I'm starting to like it. It is funny because at a yard sale a couple months ago I found the perfume that has patchouli in it but I didn't know it until I looked up the ingredients. I kept telling my husband smell this it smells amazing. It was brand new in the box for $2. It is not a cheap perfume it was made by Lancome and it was sealed in the Box. The lady said I just want things gone. lol I was embarrassed when I found that it had Patchouli in it. I've spent a while now telling my family how awful Patchouli is. They've been insisting how great it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked past it, and oh my it smelled so good! I knew it was Clementine & Daisy. Well, for one reason because I gave her a couple not long ago, and for another, the scent is immediately recognizable. She said it is very strong. I call it a 'tart' fragrance. It doesn't smell sweet or perfumy at all. Perfect for a spring day. Sorry I can't describe it better for you; I'm no good at that. I had a sample and was on the fence about buying a large bottle, but I am glad I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will give this one a try ,been wanting to try it for a while.I also want to order some of the newly added scents , especially Parsley Lime .Did you order any of the new ones yet ? If so which ones did ya get ? Lol I sure don't need any oils ,just so tempting with all the new ones .I am in process of ordering some from Oregan Trails ,Trappeurs fault on this lol...Glad she posted about their S'mores being spot on to McCalls candle scent .They have Gee your Hair Smells Terrific ,love this smell in shampoo back in the 1970's ,remember it so well.I am not much on florals ,however love this one .I hope this oil works in my wax .Thanks Gail 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailC Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 @katmeltswax, I haven't ordered any of Candlewic's new FO's. I am trying my best to use some I already have first. I have a list as long as my arm of scents I haven't even put in wax yet, from Candlewic and other suppliers. Sure is hard to be good though. If anyone has a Memorial Day sale, all my resolve will go flying out the window. Especially if Fragrance Buddy has one of their awesome sales. I have never ordered from Oregon Trails. If I ever add a new supplier, I am wanting to try some from Bittercreek. I've had a cart filled there more than once, but never followed though. Come to think of it, Trappeur is who got me perusing their website, back when I was looking for a good Hot Buttered Rum. I remember that commercial, Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific. What a dumb name for a shampoo, but it's one you remember. I liked the smell of Herbal Essence Shampoo. Wonder if there is an FO like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
