Well, it's time to ask the experts again... I am searching for a true Blackberry scent. Not something that smells like Blackberry Pie. If anyone can lead me in the right direction for this, I would greatly appreciate it. (Must have a great throw in soy). I have searched the fragrance finder and there are numerous companies that carry some form of the scent but really curious to know if anyone has a recommendation.

Each of the candles were wrapped in bubble wrap. There were packing peanuts under, between and on top of the candles. It hasn't been that hot yet so I don't understand why they would start to melt.

To those of you who ship candles, please advise. I have a customer in TX that has been purchasing my candles since November. I have always packaged the candles myself and shipped flat rate USPS. However, this last week, of the three candles that I sent to him, two of them were shattered. In addition to this, it seems that the candles started to melt in transportation. (It was all over the box). I use 100% soy in these candles and wonder if as the summer approaches, if I will have a major problem with the issue of melting. It only takes two days to reach him. Needless to say, I don't want to lose his business. Of course, I will repour these and take them to the UPS store to have them package it for me. (which will cost me a fortune). Sorry this is so long, but I hope that those of you who ship candles can offer some of your ideas.

I will give it a few days. If I still not happy with it, I'll reorder from NG. I love their fragrances also.

Isn't 6% the same thing as 1oz per lb?

Just purchased this scent from JS. It has an alcohol smell to it. I decided to make a batch of votives with it using 6%. After removing the votives from the mold, I still can't smell this one. Has anyone else tried this scent from JS. Should I try increasing the amount of oil?
