CANDLE SCIENCE 1 OZ SAMPLE SALE- 99 CENTS


Marleigha

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!  Just wanted to let you all know that CS is having their 1 oz sample sale from the 21st through the 24th of August.  I haven't seen this posted yet, so just wanted to let everyone know.   

 

Any suggestions ?  I'm looking for a few new scents that are Fall/Winter and maybe even some Clean/Spa FO's.  TIA!  😇

@Marleigha I have been using Cinnamon Stick and Pumpkin Souffle from CS ever since I started making candles 9 years ago. Cinnamon stick is one of my favorite cinnamons of all I've tried, and Pumpkin Souffle is a customer favorite, although I am tired of it. Both are super strong in soy wax.

 

Very Vanilla isn't necessarily a fall scent, but it is my favorite vanilla FO, along with Vanilla Bean Noel (not from CS).

 

I got a sample of Pumpkin Caramel Crunch during last year's sample sale and I love it OOB.  I am going to order some one of these days when I need more of my staple scents from CS.

I'm glad I got the email today, we've been away at a show and I hadn't had a chance to check the email! Any highly recommended scents? Anyone? I've only gotten a 5 sample from them when ordering some lids, so what's good at CS?

I swore I wasn't going to get in on anymore sales but I have to place an order with CS, so I guess I'll get some...

Everything that Gail just said I agree.   Oh Gail!  Pumpkin Car. crunch is awesome!     I love it myself..!

 

I did get some White Birch samples and made a few candles and it is "beautiful".   So Gail you don't need to test that one as I did since we both use the same wax.

I'd get a pound too...don't waste your money on a sample...ha ha ha

I've tried just about everything they have.  Just bought samples of all the new scents a couple weeks ago.  Still, I was ordering #'s of Fallen Leaves and threw a few samples in my cart...mostly pumpkin and fall stuff, some I know I've tried before and just can't remember them.   Still, I cant wait to get them.  I'm so bored with what I'm currently using.

Hiiiiii Gail!!!! I hope you are doing well.  😇 You are actually the person that got me to end up trying the Pumpkin Soufflé about a year or year and 1/2 ago.  I ❤ it!!! That's actually my husbands favorite out of everything Bakery that I've made.  He absolutely loves it!  So because they mastered Pumpkin Soufflé I was thinking about grabbing another pumpkin FO from them.  They have the Toasted Pumpkin Spice and then the Pumpkin Caramel Crunch so I'm torn.  Ugh!  I also love their Cinnamon Stick and Very Vanilla but CC's Vanilla Voodoo is also very nice!  😇   Any other favs from the new ones?

This is the first year in a long time I won't be partaking in this particular scent event. ... :( Just too busy and don't have time to get an order in. 

So sorry to hear that you don't have the time to get an order in this go round.  This will actually be the first time I've ever placed an order during the sale and it's only because I need a few pounds of some of my staple scents.  What ones have you used from them and loved?

@bfroberts If you don't mind me asking... What are some of your absolute favorites from CS?  Have you tried Pumpkin Caramel Crunch and Toasted Pumpkin Spice?  I'm up in the Air on what one to get a full pound size bottle of.  😊

 

@Trappeur white birch is truly very nice but I something very similar.  However will possibly order some when I run out depending on where I'm placing an order from first.

I haven't tried any of the new ones.  I've taken a moratorium on buying Fragrance Oils.  2 months yesterday.  My daughter and granddaughter said I should get a chip!  :)  

 

I see you are getting Caramelized Pralines.  I had that years ago and it is good.  

 

Of those you are asking about, I have samples of Cotton Tree and Day at the Spa and I like them both OOB.

 

I haven't smelled Toasted Pumpkin Spice but I sure do love the sample of Pumpkin Caramel Crunch OOB.

CS's cotton candy is my FAVORITE cotton candy. I also really love their Raspberry Sangria, and if you don't make soap/bb items it's a good one because it's not skin safe. Found that out AFTER I ordered it, but I love it. I *think* that's where I got the Violet Lime and loved it. I also really like their cucumber mint. There are several others, but those are the ones right off the top of my head from them that I love. .

Red Ginger Saffron is one of my favorites! It is a STRONG and very true to life ginger scent, so if you aren't a fan of the smell of fresh ginger you won't like it, but if you are you'll absolutely love it.

Ahhh... yes I had read a few times that you were going to be taking a break.  So impressed that you had the will power to last that long.  😊

 

Im glad to hear that Caramelized Pralines was a good one for you.  I was up in the air on whether or not I should get it from ICS or CS.  But being that I'm placing an order with CS injust figured I'd grab it here.   For the CS Cotton Tree does it smell too similar to CS Clean Cotton or how can you describe it if you don't mind?  Thanks so much Gail!

so tell me how you really feel about the pumpkin souffle Marleigha hahahaha.

..looks like I will be SOL with another purchase from Candle science...apparently their computer system can't handle it if you have a Canadian credit card...although my shipping address is in Washington state...They told me it would be straightened out last sale and it looks like nothing was done...oh well

I Haven't tried CS Clean Cotton so can't compare the two. And I am terrible at describing fragrances.  I just smelled Cotton Tree and it is clean and fresh, not just soapy smelling.  

 

My favorite Cotton FO is HIgh Cotton from Mill Creek so I stick to that one or Sea Island Cotton from Cierra which I also really like.

 

I am trying my best to avoid buying more FO's since I have two cabinets just full of 1 pounds bottles.  I was on a buying frenzy for awhile.  :)
