Their birthday cake is great! I have cinnamon and balsam too which I like OOB but haven't put in wax yet. I haven't smelled any of the others you have listed. I like Old Town Bakeshop too. It's lite but a good bakery scent. Bird of Paradise is good, cherries in the snow, chocolate grahams, country berry hotcakes, cranberry apple marmalade, creamy pecan praline, iced lemon danish ( I also like iced lemon cookies from Aztec and lemon biscotti from Fillmore) sea salt and cocoa bean. I've read where they have a good cream brûlée but I've never used it. I like the one from Cajun.

Does the one from CW smell like the Bath and Body Works version too? Was the one from Cierra too lite to work? Just thinking about ordering some and wanted to make sure I got the best LOL!

I haven't tried it but I've read in different groups that Cierra has one that's spot on. I've never smelled it that I can remember unless I have a sample somewhere in the midst of the hundreds of samples I have. Hmmm, it might be worth checking out though.

Was that in an email or on their page? I love some of JS oils but not happy with the high shipping to me so maybe things will be better now.

@Soy-N-Suds, those look so nice! What wax do you use for your melts? I'm always looking for a good cinnamon too so I may have to try theirs.

I don't know what a planning cucumber scent would smell like but I poured Cucumber Melon from Studio and it smells really good. I noticed Lone Star and Nature's Garden's both have a plain cucumber with good reviews so you might want to give them a try. They both have some good oils.

I'm glad you're happy with it! It really is the best one I've smelled so far. I'll look for any other samples i have from other companies to see if any compare.

Those all sound so good!

Wax-4625, 4630, 6006, 4786-Melts Percentage-10% Cure time-3 days Cold Throw-Very Good Hot Throw-Very Good I honestly think the one from Aztec is a little stronger but LS does have a good one!

Aztec's does smell good in wax but I've learned the past few months that it doesn't soak up well in aroma beads and has very little scent in them. I'm not sure why that is though. I switched to Flaming's for my beads and theirs soaked up really fast and had a strong smell. I may have just got a bad bottle from Aztec, not sure.

Wax-4625, 4630, 6006, Melts Percentage used-10% CT-Excellent HT-Excellent In my opinion this is absolutely the BEST CB ever! I've tried several but this one is just so rich and creamy.

You're right! They are such sweet people and make you feel very important to them. One of our members on here is her mom and she's the same way. Sweetness just runs in their family!

Welcome to the board!

I haven't used any of the waxes listed but if they're container waxes I would think you'd need a pillar or votive wax to blend with them. I use 4625/6006 or 4625/4630 for my clams and a pillar wax for shapes. Are these all really soft? I doubt they'd come out of a clamshell without using a little bit of a harder wax if they are. If it's just for your personal use then maybe pour in a jar without a wick and scoop it out to put in your warmer. I've also seen people pour some into small tin foil cups like cupcake cups. That way you could use it for yourself and wouldn't waste anything or wouldn't have to buy anything extra.

I got both of them too.

Not yet but I plan to soon. I only have a little tiny space cleared off to work right now LOL! I'm SOOOOO disorganized! Maybe one day I'll learn how to organize myself but I doubt it this late in life!

The struggle is real!

Have you ever tried Fillmore's Nutmeg Ginger? It's really good. Not sure if I would consider it an allspice fragrance though but when you mentioned nutmeg and ginger it made me think of it. AAA has one called allspice but not sure that's what you're looking for.

@The Candle Nook, I got Apple blossom and almond-love this one! Black Raspberry & Vanilla Cactus and Sea salt Cherry Amaretto Fresh Lemon-so good! Lemon Sugar Cake Sweet Strawberry And I got a couple more but can't remember off the top of my head. Why I keep buying FO's is beyond me! I've been finding boxes of them that I ordered for Christmas stuff that I never used and they're literally falling off the shelves LOL! Hopefully I'll get some of these in wax before too long. I've just got to get more organized!

The scent throw is as good as any wax I've used. Either of these waxes, even used alone is good to work with for throw. The biggest factor in my opinion is the oil itself. Any wax will throw well if the oil is a good one. Hope this helps!

Which masculine scents did you get and what are your favorites from them and other places? I have a lot of customers, mostly female, that love masculine scents.

You're mixing at 200 degrees and still have oils weeping? That seems really hot to me. I mix at 180-185 and if it's a really heavy oil like some vanillas that won't mix well I usually stick my glass mixing cup in the microwave and warm it up a little higher so it will blend but that's kind of rare. Most all of mine mix right in at 185. If your throw is only lasting for 4 hours I wouldn't think that is long enough. Maybe you're burning scent off by mixing at too high a temp? I've heard that's possible. Which oils are weeping and where are you getting them?

I mix 50/50 for clams. I think when I mixed this for molds I used 60/40 with the 60 being 4625 only because I don't like smudges but at this ratio it really didn't smudge much at all.

I just got my order in today and so far I am VERY impressed! They smell amazing! Just and FYI to everyone. Don't mean to be an enabler 😇😆

I agree! I love "meeting" new people on here and chatting about our likes and dislikes and different experiences with our wax and sometimes life in general!
